From Reputable source: Harry Redknapp now disclose what has be said about Postecoglou from Tottenham insiders
Ange Postecoglou has made a noticeable impact at Tottenham Hotspur, imprinting his distinct football philosophy on the team.
In contrast to previous managers like Tim Sherwood and Nuno Espirito Santo, who struggled to establish a clear style during their tenures, Postecoglou has implemented a fast-paced, attacking system.
His approach emphasizes quick passing, intelligent movement, and a focus on reaching the final third as swiftly as possible.
This refreshing style of play has led to an improved performance from Spurs, who currently sit seventh in the Premier League after securing four wins from their first eight games of the season.
However, former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp recently suggested that Postecoglou heavily relies on his coaching staff to convey his methods to the players.
According to Redknapp, Postecoglou may not be as involved in hands-on coaching as one might expect from a head coach. Speaking on talkSPORT, Redknapp shared his views, saying, “I like him. He is not a coach. He doesn’t do any coaching, they tell me. He isn’t out there, he doesn’t actually do any coaching. I don’t know if that’s right, that’s what I have heard.”
Postecoglou’s approach suggests that he sees himself more as a manager overseeing the broader aspects of the team rather than being directly involved in the day-to-day coaching on the training pitch.
His senior assistant coach, Matt Wells, along with Mile Jedinak and Ryan Mason, take on significant coaching responsibilities at Tottenham’s training ground, Hotspur Way.
If Redknapp’s claims are accurate, it indicates that Postecoglou places immense trust in his coaching team to deliver his footballing philosophy effectively.
Ryan Mason, in particular, is well known to Tottenham supporters. The former Spurs midfielder has been part of the coaching setup since his retirement from playing, and he even had a brief stint as interim head coach before Postecoglou’s arrival.
Mason is currently linked with a move to become the manager of Anderlecht, further highlighting his growing reputation in coaching circles. However, he’s not the only coach in the Tottenham setup with the potential to make the step up to management.
Matt Wells, Postecoglou’s senior assistant coach, is someone Tottenham hold in high regard. According to Alasdair Gold of Football London, Wells is a coach to watch in the coming years, with the potential to develop into a successful manager. Gold shared on the “Last Word on Spurs” podcast, “I would also add to the ones to watch, Matthew Wells. He’s going to be a terrific manager at some point, he’s going to go on to do something. Stuart Lewis who does the U18s as well, he’s another terrific up-and-coming coach.”
The presence of talented and ambitious coaches like Wells and Mason within the Tottenham ranks bodes well for the club’s future.
It indicates that Postecoglou has surrounded himself with a highly capable coaching team, allowing him to focus on the broader management aspects while trusting his assistants to handle the tactical details and day-to-day coaching. This collaborative approach is likely a key factor in the team’s improvement under his leadership.
In a league as competitive as the Premier League, having a strong support staff is essential, and Postecoglou seems to have built a cohesive and skilled group around him.
His willingness to delegate responsibilities to trusted coaches like Wells, Mason, and Jedinak speaks to his confidence in their abilities and highlights the collective effort behind Tottenham’s resurgence.
Ultimately, Postecoglou’s tenure at Spurs appears to be moving in a positive direction, with the club showing signs of progress both on and off the pitch.
The combination of his football philosophy and the expertise of his coaching staff could help Tottenham reach new heights, making them a formidable force in both domestic and European competitions.
With the right balance of tactical insight, strong leadership, and talented players, Tottenham’s future under Postecoglou looks promising.
