Klopp was head coach for 4 years before he won with Liverpool. Arteta is now 4.5 years in at Arsenal. This is year 1 folks. I back Ange fully. I back Spurs fully. My one selfish wish is that Sonny wins a trophy with Spurs before he retires. COYS!!!

[alanmurchie]

This man is the epitome of a leader. Give him time. He’s done enough to show us a glimpse of the future. Have faith people. Stick with the process.

[jackwoods]

Whilst these last few weeks have been rough, I have no doubt he is the man to take us forward. Love him.

[Siimprovement]

Brilliantly spoken by Ange. Not only will he prove to be the best manager we’ve ever had, he’s also proved he’s a real positive guy

[scottc]

Have to support our Manager. We can't go through the same scenario of replace and rebuild. A couple of backed transfer seasons; the right players, and we'll be right up there. COYS

[desertisland]

As a spurs fan, a slump at the end of the season is water off a ducks back.

[D-v-]

A very intelligent and aware man. He knows exactly what's going on. Great interview. We must back him. As others have said, this cycle of hiring and firing has to stop!

[ceaget]

I like the boys' reaction. They're upset but it's clear that they're fighters and that fighting quality is absolutely vital. The manager and the boys have the talent to sort it out. Looking forward to better days ahead.

[gaywest]

He's the best chance that Spurs have to move forward. He needs to be be backed properly in the transfer market this summer.

[Taecoconut]

Ange is always more sincere and happy to talk to international journalist than PL ones 😅😂 must be because he knows that international journalist won’t twist his words for clicks unlike the PL ones.

Edit: yes I know it’s mark shwarzer 🙄 my bad for saying “journalist” to those saying he’s not a journalist - pundit then? Interviewer? —

[Q_Basic]

Losing Perisic and Solomon for the season is also a much bigger loss than people realise considering Ange’s tactics and the importance of having intelligent progressive wingers.

[AlGorithm-nq]

I'm no fan of Spurs but a hell of a lot of fans, me included, would love to have Ange as their manager.

[stephen]

Hes the man. Love how he doesn't change his tacticts to suit the players. He has his vision, and he will just change his players over time to suit his style

[martinstubbs]

Celtic fan here. Ange is the epitome of sincerity and humility! Who is a better alternative?

[jaysheeltonn]

We have to back ange through to next year. His first season in Japan he finished 12th, this guy knows how to build a team from the ground up. I'm honestly surprised that he keeps mentioning a title charge next year where I think it's more realistic in his 3rd or 4th season. With a couple more transfer windows I truly believe spurs will have a better chance to win anything than our last few managers.

[kinslor]

A great interview. Ange is always interesting to listen to.

[andrewmallard]

I like Ange's approach and being a long suffering Spurs fan, I feel it is time the club started to build, something.

[SmashPhysical]

Love this guy, best manager since Poch hands down. He will take us to the next level.

[eamonnrendell]

Couldn't agree with you more Jimhim Ange will get it right for all of us DOWN THE LANE.COYS.

[m.Diesel]

In Big Ange we trust!!! We love this club, and I, for one, am very happy with the direction Ange is pointing us.
