Ange Postecoglou: The Tottenham Boss Only Leaving for Manchester City
Ange Postecoglou has made it clear that he’s not interested in the England job, and only has one other destination in mind. The Tottenham Hotspur boss has been linked with the Three Lions’ managerial role following Gareth Southgate’s resignation, but Postecoglou has insisted he’s committed to the Spurs.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Scotland, Postecoglou said, "I’ve got no idea, I’ve been preparing for a game, I’m the Tottenham manager. That’s where I stand." The Australian boss was responding to reports linking him with the England job, and it’s clear that his focus is on leading Tottenham forward.
According to The Telegraph, Spurs are confident that they won’t lose their head coach to England, despite the FA’s interest. If Postecoglou was to leave Tottenham, it would likely be to Manchester City, where he’s reportedly held in high regard by Pep Guardiola. The Manchester City boss is getting on in years, and speculation is rife that he’ll move on from the Etihad soon.
Postecoglou has been a revelation at Tottenham, guiding the team to a fifth-place Premier League finish in his first season at the helm. His attacking brand of football has been praised by fans and critics alike, and it’s clear that he has the potential to take England to the top of the international game.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is the favourite to take over the England job, but Postecoglou’s name has been mentioned as a dark horse candidate. Graham Potter has also been linked with the role, but the Brighton boss has a lot of work to do to prove himself worthy of the position.
The Three Lions are next in action when they face the Republic of Ireland on September 7 in the Nations League. Whoever takes over will have a tough task on their hands, but Postecoglou’s commitment to Tottenham suggests that he won’t be leaving anytime soon.
