Fabrizio Romano Provides Update on Postecoglou’s Relationship with Spurs Board
2 min readFabrizio Romano has offered insights into the current state of the relationship between Tottenham Hotspur and their head coach, Ange Postecoglou. Despite a tumultuous week surrounding their match against Manchester City, Postecoglou’s rapport with the Spurs board remains strong.
Postecoglou recently described the City match as “probably the worst experience I’ve had as a football manager,” expressing concern that a defeat might lead others to question his integrity. The loss significantly impacted Arsenal’s title aspirations, leaving them two points behind City heading into the final Premier League fixtures of the season.
Stability and Future Plans
Romano has dismissed rumors suggesting that Postecoglou might consider leaving the club. According to Romano, the relationship between Postecoglou and Tottenham is solid. He explained to CaughtOffside, “The relationship between Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham is very good despite what he’s been saying in recent press conferences. He just wants some changes in the squad this summer and it will happen, but he’s not in a difficult relationship with the club… he just wants to build a winning mentality. Nothing negative at all.”
Postecoglou reaffirmed his commitment to his role during a pre-match press conference before their final game against Sheffield United.
Looking Ahead
As Tottenham conclude their Premier League campaign at Bramall Lane, aiming for a fifth-place finish and Europa League qualification, Postecoglou has already begun laying the groundwork for significant squad changes. The arrivals of Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, and Brennan Johnson mark the beginning of this transformation.
Postecoglou will be looking to further strengthen his squad this summer. It is crucial that the club’s owners support him in the transfer market to enhance their chances of breaking into the top four and contending for silverware.
With a positive relationship between Postecoglou and the board, and a clear vision for the future, Tottenham fans can look forward to a promising rebuild under his guidance.
