Ange Postecoglou has taken the Premier League by storm since joining Tottenham from Celtic in the summer.<\/p>\n
The previously unheralded Australian coach has completely transformed the mood and playing style at Spurs after a dismal season last year that saw them miss out on European football for the first time in 14 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After being named\u00a0as Manager of the Month for October, he became the first boss in history to win the award in the opening three months of a Premier League season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spurs’ progress was slightly halted by defeats to Chelsea and Wolves prior to the international break, but it has still been a fine start to the campaign.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou sat down with Mail Sport’s It’s All Kicking Off podcast this week for an exclusive in-depth chat with IAN LADYMAN and CHRIS SUTTON where discussions included life at Spurs, his playing philosophy, being an Australian football manager and family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The insight into the 58-year-old former Celtic, Australia,\u00a0Yokohama F. Marinos and Melbourne Victory boss has fascinated Mail Sport readers, with several heaping praise on Postecoglou as a result.<\/p>\n
One supporter said: ‘Always has come across as a decent and honest man. Good luck Ange.’<\/p>\n
This was echoed by other readers who similarly liked the way the Australian conducts himself.<\/p>\n
They said: ‘One of the most humble, likeable and understandable managers in modern times. Post game pressers are actually insightful when he talks.’<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘I can see most neutrals loving and respecting this man, most managers and footballers do feed us the “proper, scripted responses”, but you can’t help but feel he is genuine…’<\/p>\n
‘He’s a cool customer. Like him or not you have to admit that,’ proclaimed a further reader.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mail Sport readers hailed Postecoglou after the interview and praised his demeanour<\/p>\n
Given Spurs finished eighth in 2022-23 in a campaign that saw them have three coaches at the helm, significant off-field chaos and a seemingly never-ending managerial search in the summer before Postecoglou’s appointment, it is fair to say expectations were low ahead of this season.<\/p>\n
This was added to when talisman Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich on the eve of this season.<\/p>\n
However, the Australian hasn’t allowed this to deter his side’s progress and fans were quick to pick up on how he is overachieving.<\/p>\n
One Mail Sport reader said: ‘Not a Spurs fan… but big Ange is a breath of fresh air, down to earth, and pushing a very average Spurs side up the table, fair play to him.’<\/p>\n
A further reader explained: ‘I like the guy. His passion for the game and his relentless attacking style are admirable. I don’t think he has the squad to mount a genuine title challenge but if I were a Spurs fan I’d be very happy and optimistic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It’s very clear to see his players would already run through brick walls for him and a team with that mentality should never be underestimated.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
One user even tipped him to go onto other things so great has his impact been so far in north London.<\/p>\n
The reader said: ‘Seems a very nice person and a good manager whose players warm to as well as the supporters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Others hailed him for his early success at Spurs where they suggested he is overachieving<\/p>\n
‘I’m sure Liverpool will look at him as a candidate if he has some success with Spurs as Klopp will walk away in a couple of seasons and the big plus is he is a massive Liverpool supporter.’<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a Spurs fan explained how the interview with Mail Sport had only increased their faith in the Australian as they said: ‘No, it doesn’t change anything for us Spurs fans, if we lose the next 1,2,3 or however many games, the fans are behind him.<\/p>\n
‘We can see he fits the ethos of the club, we have always been the club that plays a certain way, the SPURS way. If it takes 2 or (3) seasons, Levy needs to stick with him and invest in him and the team and eventually it will pay dividends…’<\/p>\n
Spurs are back in action on Sunday when they host high-flying Aston Villa\u00a0on Sunday at 2pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
