POSTECOGLOU’S SPURS REVOLUTION: ‘I Am Who I Am’ – Unapologetic Boss Vows to Overhaul Squad, Defies Critics, and Ignites ‘Significant’ and ‘Challenging’ New Era for Tottenham!
In his latest press conference today, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou was asked about what he has learned in his first year at the club, and insists he is not about to change his identity and his approach despite the added pressure of being in the Premier League.
Since arriving at Tottenham last summer, Ange Postecoglou has quite an impact on the club and the league itself.
His jovial attitude, determination to play exciting football, and general candid nature with the press and his players have really struck a chord with not just Spurs fans, but those in the wider game, too.
By and large, his methods have worked, too. The Lilywhites are currently fifth in the league, and are currently on course to secure Europa League football for next season, all despite losing Harry Kane last summer.
Postecoglou doesn’t want to change his ways
For Postecoglou, coming over to England having earned his stripes in Australia, Japan, and Scotland, the pressure was certainly on, and very few expected him to succeed.
Speaking to the press this afternoon (via Football.London), Postecoglou explained how he has not really changed much over the course of this year, and that that has been an active decision by the man himself to stick to his guns in the Premier League.
He said: “Nothing too spectacular. I am who I am. I’ve resisted the notion to change the person I am. That’s not easy in the Premier League with the extra scrutiny.”

Fair play to Ange, I don’t think he needs to have learned much about himself or changed his approach. He’s confident he knows what works, we’ve seen more than a glimpse of that in action, and if he gets the backing and time he needs, I’ve no doubt it will all lead to success here.
Ange Postecoglou discusses his ‘significant’ and challenging Spurs rebuild
Speaking to the press today ahead of Tottenham’s upcoming game against Burnley, manager Ange Postecoglou discussed the impending rebuild he has planned for the squad, and accepts that challenges are part and parcel of that.
Ange Postecoglou has had two transfer windows to begin transforming the Tottenham squad now, and has made great strides in assembling a side that can effectively implement his style of play.
But, there is still work to be done. This has been particularly evident in the recent run of form for Spurs, which has seen them lose the last four Premier League matches.
The Spurs boss has spoken of the need for ‘change’ lately, and there have been multiple reports suggesting a number of players will be moved on by the club this summer, or at least will be made available for transfer, with a view to clearing space in the squad for new arrivals.
Challenges are part of the rebuild, says Postecoglou
In his latest press conference (via Football.London), Postecoglou touched on the great task ahead with this rebuild, and admitted there will be many challenges as a part of this. But, the Australian sounds confident he can lead the team out of the other side of the process.
He said: “We’re going through challenges at the moment but I always believe they’re a constant in any sort of significant rebuild you’re going through. It’s how you approach them and tackle them. It’s about being as visible as possible in that process.”

I for one am really excited about the continued rebuild of this squad. It’ll take time and a lot of patience, but if you can’t see that we are heading in the right direction here under Ange, I don’t know what to tell you. A lot of players need to move on, and a lot need to come in, and it will be fun to see that all unfold.
