Arriving in the summer after Tottenham’s terrible end to last season’s campaign, Ange Postecoglou wasted no time in revitalising the club.
The manager, who came from Celtic, immediately asked for a few players to be signed, and even oversaw the exit of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, with no natural striker coming in to replace him.
Despite this, Tottenham are still well in the fight for a top four finish, and just five points off leaders Liverpool after 21 games, which has impressed Mundo Deportivo enough to wax lyrical about the manager and his new club.
Naming the article the ‘Postecoglou doctrine’, they analyse how the 58-year-old has worked his magic in such a short period of time.
They say he is a ‘model of how to change the ‘losing dynamic of a club’ by imposing a ‘brave style’ on the pitch and ‘improving all players’.
It doesn’t matter who Tottenham are playing, Postecoglou will not change his approach, as he ‘plays without any fear’, firmly believing in himself and his way.
Despite some claiming he took a leaf out of the book of Pep Guardiola, the Tottenham manager has ‘laughed off’ these suggestions, preferring his full-backs to be a big part of the attack and putting them in places where they can help with goals.
‘Step by step’, his Spurs have ‘come together’, and despite a slump when they were ravaged with injuries and suspensions, which has since been sorted, there has been nothing but optimism at the club since his arrival.
Mundo Deportivo also believe that once Son Heung-min, Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma, James Madison and Dejan Kulusevski are all fit together, added to the presence of new arrivals Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, then this Tottenham team ‘will fly higher’.
