For years now, Tottenham have been trying to find the rightful successor to Mauricio Pochettino, who came closest to ending the club’s barren spell of trophies.
José Mourinho wasn’t the answer, and nor were Nuno Espírito Santo and Antonio Conte, and while the appointment of Ange Postecoglou was met with some skepticism at first, the Athens born manager is quickly winning over everyone.
One of those already convinced are Marca, who have an article calling him the ‘angel’ of Tottenham; an obvious pun based on his full first name, Angelos.
Despite a 2-2 draw against Brentford to kick off the season, Spurs have gone from strength to strength since, beating Manchester United and Bournemouth 2-0 and then thrashing Burnley 5-2 away.
This all comes after a summer that saw Tottenham sell their iconic striker Harry Kane to Bayern Munich and then not replace him properly, as the arrival of Alejo Véliz is one for the future.
With previous managers favouring defensive approaches to football, Postecoglou has decided to go the other way, focusing on attacking fluidity, or ‘organised chaos’, as Marca put it.
Despite all the early success, the Tottenham manager has made it clear it’s still early days, but there are signs of progress and optimism in north London, and the Spanish newspaper are fully there for it.
