In a spirited defense of former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou following his Europa League success, Chris Sutton praised him for ending Tottenham Hotspur’s trophy drought with a win over Manchester United.
Despite facing waves of criticism during his time at Parkhead, Postecoglou stuck to his promise of winning trophies in his second season and received a classy message from Celtic after his victory.
Sutton, a staunch supporter of Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers, took a strong stance against the English media’s treatment of the Australian manager, stating that he had every right to celebrate and brush off the abuse he received.
He highlighted the unfair ridicule and snobbery faced by Postecoglou, emphasizing the impressive job he did at Celtic by winning the title and completing a Treble in his first season.
Sutton also pointed out the similar treatment faced by Rodgers, who is on the brink of another Treble-winning season, stressing that winning domestic trophies should not be underestimated.
In conclusion, Sutton declared that managing Celtic is not an easy task, but one of the toughest in football, commending both Postecoglou and Rodgers for their success and resilience in the face of criticism.
