Postecoglou was acquired by Tottenham in the summer of 2023 on a four-year contract. He had spent the previous two years in Glasgow with Scottish giants Celtic – helping them to a Premiership title, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup treble during his final season at the helm. The Australian has become famed for his ball-playing philosophy, and that approach has instantly endeared him to a fan base in north London that demands both winning and entertaining football.
What does the Ange Postecoglou song sound like?
The terrace tune that has been pieced together for Postecoglou by James Black takes inspiration from the famous Robbie Williams track ‘Angels’. The former Take That star, who has a record-breaking 18 Brit Awards to his name, is a diehard Port Vale supporter, but he is a fan of the new song at Spurs and has found himself singing along to it.
What happens next?
Tottenham slipped out of the Premier League’s top four last season and have only qualified for the Champions League once in the last four campaigns. Postecoglou has been acquired to help bring about a reversal in fortune, with his front-foot style of play winning plenty of admirers as Spurs adjust quickly to life without all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane leading their line.
