‘Eventful’ – Ange Postecoglou gives his opinion on his first season as Tottenham manager

Tottenham Hotspur ended the season in style this afternoon with a comfortable win over Sheffield United, and Ange Postecoglou has been speaking to the press after the game about the experience of his first year in charge of the club.

Going into the game, Tottenham knew they needed just one point against the already relegated Blades to secure fifth place and guarantee Europa League football for next season.

Despite a cagey start, Spurs asserted their dominance in the latter stages of the first half and went in at the break a goal to the good thanks to a fine Dejan Kulusevski finish.

In the second half, Pedro Porro doubled Tottenham’s lead, before Kulusevski added his second to kill the game.

Ange Postecoglou pleased with progress at Spurs

Speaking to the press after the game, Ange Postecoglou was asked how he feels the first season has gone with Spurs, and he seemed to be very positive about the progress the team has made.

He said (via Football.London): “It’s been good, it’s been eventful, it’s had a bit of everything. I am obviously not delighted with the way we finished the season but in fairness to the players and staff we have been in the top five all season, in a year where there was a fair bit of upheaval.

“We finished eighth last year, player turnover, different football, different way of training, it is not easy to maintain a level when you are trying to do that.”

Tottenham now travel to Australia to take part in their post-season friendly against Newcastle United on Tuesday.

Spurs Web Opinion

I am a very happy Spurs fan overall this season. It’s been a delight to watch the team most of the season, and apart from the last few defeats where we’ve looked a little bit lacklustre, we can’t grumble at fifth place and a real show of progress from the dire situation we were in this time last year.
