Why Ange Postecoglou is perfect for Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur have finally found their next manager, Ange Postecoglou. But not everyone is convinced by this appointment.
Who is Big Ange? Does it matter that he won the treble with Celtic? Does he even have any experience? Nobody knows.

Except for JJ Bull, and he thinks that Ange Postecoglou is perfect for Tottenham Hotspur...

As an Aussie and Brisbane Roar fan I can't believe I'm watching Tifo describe the basics of Ange-ball. What a time to be alive.

As a greek aussie, I couldn't tell you how proud I am to see someone with my background get a chance at this level.

Most important thing here is Levi needs to give this guy what he wants - he's a great manager.

As a rangers fan, so glad to see this guy leave scotland.

I remember almost two years ago, celtic were predicted to be 5 years away from challenging for the title after rangers went through an invincibles season, needing a major rebuild.

When the Ange links started, I remember almost everyone in Scotland, regardless of what side of the Old Firm you’re on, felt that he was completely out his depth, considering Celtic had Rodgers in recent times.

But let me tell you something, when Ange gets his team firing, they are absolutely terrifying to play against. Completely dominated the Old Firm during his tenure, playing really entertaining football (as much as it hurts to say). I even remember watching Celtic play madrid at parkhead, and althought they lost, they outplayed real for large parts of the game, and should’ve definitely won.

If he can get the patience from Levy, theres no doubt in my mind that he will perform well, and thank f*ck he’s away from scotland😂👍🏽

Wenger and some others have come from outside a top league, and done well in the PL.. So Ange does have a shot.. Issue is how Tottenham handle things

[Scottyballz]

As an Aussie. Ange has revolutionised football in the country from the "Roarcelona" team to bringing through a lot of youngsters through the Australian team. I wish him all the best.

[purgrek]

Melbourne Greek Boy whose followed Ang the whole Journey, hes a Hidden Gem! everywhere hes gone hes been doubted but hes proven himself, i'm so proud of him!

[stevieschayness]

The real question is - Do Spurs/Spurs fans have the PATIENCE required for Ange-ball to work?

[alisterhunnam]

As a celtic season ticket holder I've had the pleasure of watching big ange's style of play. Yes celtic have little competition in Scotland and under previous managers it started to feel like a chore going to watch them even though we were still winning. I've not missed a game for 2 years now as I loved watching us play. Ange managed to get the players with the pace and stamina required to play his way with a small budget compared to spurs. With the crazy budget he'll have then the sky's the limit. Good luck ange thanks for the memories and you'll never walk alone

[sirkarls]

As an Aussie and a Spurs fan, I am absolutely up for this. Get it done, Ange.

[damianchang]

I’ve been seriously waiting for Tifo to cover Spurs’ new management appointment!!

[Alex-pweo]

You’re absolutely right that he will not deviate from his style under any circumstance. When Celtic played Real Madrid to open up the Champions League he insisted we were going to make Real adjust to us, not the other way around. And honestly, Celtic did as well as they possibly could and hung around with them for most of the game. If he’d stayed at Celtic one more year I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Ro16 appearance. He’ll do great at Spurs as long as Levy will get out of his way and he gets afforded patience.

[dibaskg]

I got to meet him in 2015, as I covered the Asian Cup for a Greek newspaper, and… wow, that Oz team was a marvel to watch, playing exciting football. I’ve been following him/his teams ever since, Yokohama F. Marinos, Celtic, always offering entertaining football to fans, and usually lifting trophies along the way. I wish him all the best.

[shakey]

With Udogie and Porro being proven scoring full backs I'm excited to see some exciting tactics at Spurs since the year before Poch left!
Also, me and a mate once randomized Brisbane Roar, and beat another pair of mates who randomized Barcelona on FIFA back in like 2011. So always had a soft spot for them. Berisha was a monster up top

[andrewhiggins]

He's tremendous. People don't realise that Celtic were an absolute mess from top to bottom when he came in. They lost a chairman, CEO, manager and captain after an utterly shambolic season. He only arrived about 2 weeks before his first competitive game and could barely field 11 senior players. He turned it around while playing incredible football. He won't tolerate laziness or players who don't want to be there (including Kane). If Spurs can show some patience then he'll be a success.

[LaraTombRaider]

He reminds me of Bielsa. Im naive on Postecoglou, but hearing how he sticks to one focus only and style regardless of outcome is admiring and what I love from managers. Watching Leeds under Bielsa’s reign attacking regardless of having a lead or playing a top team always made Leeds exciting. I’ll definitely love to see Tottenhams progression down the line now! Very exciting!

[charliefuller]

im not a spurs fan but im really really excited to see how he goes at spurs (only supporting him because hes australian)

[liammccabe]

I'm so sad to see him go, but he's utterly transformed Celtic in his short two years at Celtic Park.

We have the strongest squad in recent memory, with unreal fitness, mentality and hunger, and Ange has moulded them into ruthless winners.

The fans have had our standards raised, which beggars belief after the last 10 to 20 years we've had, and the board likely knows we expect a replacement who can at least continue, if not build upon, Ange's success.

Combine this squad with our eager fans, a board willing to spend to maintain progress and automatic CL football and I have full faith that we will find an able replacement.

... All that being said, they won't be Ange. He goes with our love, and we hope Spurs fans give him the time to have the same impact on all of you as he has had on us 🍀

[bannnnner]

As a guy thats heard of Australia and seen Scotland on a map... I can talk from experience that this guy is good!

[yoyotommo]

That Brisbane roar team also set an Australian football record (accross all football codes)
Most matches in a row without a defeat.
36 matches.
And that’s in a salary capped league ladies and gentleman.
