Tottenham fans will love James Maddison’s heartfelt message to Ange Postecoglou
James Maddison has penned a heartfelt message to Ange Postecoglou, reflecting on the club’s Europa League success and admitting that he learned a lot from him both on and off the pitch.
Despite the criticism that Postecoglou was coming under towards the end of the season, it always appeared from the outside that he had the support of the Spurs players.
That has been demonstrated over the last 24 hours by the fact that almost the entire Tottenham squad have penned heartfelt goodbye messages to Postecoglou.
James Maddison has become the latest to react, with the Spurs vice-captain penning a touching message on social media.
James Maddison thanks Ange Postecoglou for the belief he showed in him
The attacking midfielder thanked the 59-year-old for bringing him to Tottenham Hotspur and the belief he showed in his leadership skills from day one.
Maddison credited Postecoglou’s winning mentality as the primary reason why Spurs were able to break their trophy drought and confessed that the departed Tottenham boss made him a better human being.
The former Leicester City man wrote on Instagram: “Gaffer, where to start. Firstly, thank you for bringing me to this wonderful club that I now call my home. Your instant belief in me to not only sign me but make me the club’s vice-captain & part of the leadership group from the get-go is something I’ll always be thankful for.
“Secondly, for the Europa League campaign that started in our stadium on gameweek one and finished perfectly with that special night in Bilbao. You led us to victory and we’re European champions and in this club’s history books because of you and your winning mentality.
“Lastly and most importantly is how you are as a man and a person. Your unwavering self-belief and strong mindset is infectious and a massive reason why you were the man to end this club’s 17-year drought for a trophy. A family man with great morals & I have honestly learnt so much from you. More than you will probably ever know. All the very best. Madders.”
Postecoglou will always be remembered by Tottenham fans
Supporters are split over whether this is the right decision, with some Tottenham fans livid that Postecoglou has been sacked.
However, the one silver lining to his leaving is that he will always be remembered fondly for the Europa League win, which is the parting memory he leaves us with.
The last Tottenham manager to win a trophy, Juande Ramos, is often remembered for picking up just two points in the first eight games of the 2008-09 season rather than the League Cup he delivered in 2008.
That will certainly not be the case for Postecoglou, who will remain a huge fan favourite among the Spurs faithful.
