Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou hits back on ‘second season’ claim criticism: It’s true
After defeat to Arsenal, Ange Postecoglu said he “always wins things” in his second year; he fiercely defended the comments in a press conference; watch Coventry vs Tottenham in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports Football from 7.30pm; kick-off 8pm
Ange Postecoglou has hit back at criticism over his own claim that he “always wins things” in his second year at clubs, saying it is true and he plans to do it again with Tottenham.
The claims stretch back into pre-season, when Postecoglou said he “usually” wins trophies in his second season.
But after a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in Sunday’s North London derby, Postecoglou strengthened his statement, telling Sky Sports: “I’ll correct myself – I don’t usually win things, I always win things in my second year. Nothing’s changed. I’ve said it now. I don’t say things unless I believe them.”
It drew criticism from some quarters, with Sky Sports’ Paul Merson saying: “I like Ange but I’ve got more chance of winning Strictly! That’s what chance they have got. I don’t see it at the moment.”
Tottenham are back in action on Wednesday when they visit Championship side Coventry in the Carabao Cup third round, live on Sky Sports.
