Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou fired back at his critics after his team secured a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, booking their spot in the Europa League semi-finals. Postecoglou’s response came with a hint of sarcasm, saying, “Unfortunately, you’re going to have to put up with me for a little longer.”
The Greek-Australian coach has faced intense scrutiny in recent months due to Spurs’ underwhelming Premier League performances, with some speculating about his imminent departure. However, Postecoglou remains unfazed, emphasizing that his focus is on the dressing room and the team’s belief in him.
Dominic Solanke’s penalty goal secured the win for Spurs, keeping their hopes of silverware and European qualification alive. Postecoglou expressed pride in his players, noting that they never lost faith. He also dismissed the idea that this win would ease external pressure, stating that his satisfaction comes from seeing his players rewarded.
When asked about his earlier comments on “always winning something” in his second season, Postecoglou chose not to elaborate, instead emphasizing the significance of reaching the Europa League semi-finals. He expressed pride in his team’s achievement, highlighting that they are not often in such a position.
