Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has made an astonishing impact in his debut season in the Premier League, setting a new record for points earned by a manager in their first year at a club. Under his guidance, Spurs have undergone a remarkable transformation, going from a team in dire need of a reboot to table toppers. Their unbeaten start to the season has given fans hope that they could even contend for the title.
Postecoglou’s side has secured an impressive 23 points from their opening nine matches, surpassing the previous records set by legendary managers Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho. In his first season at Chelsea in 2004/05, Mourinho managed to earn 20 points from the same number of games, suffering his only defeat to Manchester City. Similarly, Guardiola achieved the same tally in his debut season at Manchester City in 2016/17, with Tottenham being the team that halted their early campaign success.
Despite their remarkable start, Postecoglou remains unsatisfied with Tottenham’s performance in their latest 2-0 victory over Fulham. The Australian coach expressed disappointment in the team’s second-half display and believes they should have been more clinical in front of goal. He emphasized the importance of maintaining discipline and improving their ball control to sustain their impressive form.
Although Tottenham has already secured big wins against Manchester United, Burnley, and Liverpool, Postecoglou insists there is room for improvement. He acknowledges the team’s wastefulness with the ball in the second half against Fulham and believes they must rectify their mistakes to reach the levels they have set for themselves throughout the season. Postecoglou remains determined to push his team to their fullest potential, recognizing that it was their own lack of concentration rather than the opponent’s efforts that hindered them in their latest victory.
