Enze Postecoglou, head coach of Tottenham Hotspur. He seems to be struggling with the stress that continues every week.
Coach Postecoglou went to a press conference for the quarterfinals of the 2024-2025 Carabao Cup (League Cup) against Manchester United held on the 18th (Korea time). Speaking about the recent team and the voices surrounding him, he said, `This job is the most difficult in any life", he confessed. When asked if it's harder than serving as prime minister, "Maybe it is. I feel like I have an election every week"Respect has been lost in our society. I'm still working, and the name of the successor goes up and down. Throw a person in the trash without any thoughts or worries and try to proceed next. I don't know if there's a good or optimal way to deal with it."
Australian coach Postecoglou took the helm of Tottenham last year and finished his first season by qualifying for the Europa League. However, he has played 16 games this season, ranking 10th out of 20 Premier League clubs. After losing 0-1 at Bournemouth on the 6th, he was booed by fans.
Tottenham have recently been moaning from injuries to defenders such as Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn and Guglielmo Vicario. Strikers such as Hishalisson and Wilson O'Dober are also leaving. Yang Min-hyuk recently joined, but he can't use it until January 1st, when he can register. However, it is true that Tottenham, which ended the first half of last season at the top, is difficult to be satisfied with the current ranking.
In the meantime, there are questions about coach Postecoglou's use of tactics and his control of the team. Rumors of a replacement are constantly circulating as the situation continues to not even follow the grades.
Despite this, Postecoglou seems to be speeding up the reorganization of his forces.
Italian daily Gazeta reported on the 19th that Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar (Paris Saint-Germain) is emerging as a possible option for Tottenham.
