The article discusses the challenges faced by Ange Postecoglou during his time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur. Critics in England perceive him as naive and his outspoken nature is portrayed as a weakness in the unforgiving world of Premier League football.
Several factors contributed to his struggles: injuries within the team, the club's recruitment policies, the sale of Harry Kane, and the underperformance of senior players. Despite this, Postecoglou's commitment to his aggressive tactical approach is highlighted.
Postecoglou's previous comments about accepting a “noble death” if his approach failed now seem prescient as his future with the club is uncertain.
While his tenure hasn't been successful, the article speculates he might find success elsewhere. Even a potential Europa League victory might not be enough to prevent his departure, which is seen as the best outcome for all parties involved. The article concludes by suggesting that England might prove too challenging for his style of management.
