Journalist Nizaar Kinsella reveals Ange Postecoglou’s gesture after the full-time whistle against Aston Villa and gives his take on what that says about the Australian’s relationship with the Spurs fans.
Are we coming to the end of the Ange Postecoglou era?
If this is indeed the start of the end of Postecoglou‘s time at Spurs, it certainly has a very different feel to the end of the Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte era.
The 59-year-old continues to conduct himself with class, and unlike his predecessors, who were only too happy to throw the players under the bus, Postecoglou has continued to defend his players publicly.
The Tottenham head coach is certainly not throwing in the towel and still believes that the club can get their hands on a trophy this season.
Postecoglou’s gesture at full-time at Villa Park
Nizaar Kinsella has now revealed that the Tottenham boss went over to the away fans to acknowledge them after the 2-1 loss to Villa and stayed out there for a long time. Mathys Tel was also spotted out on the pitch longer than any other player.
The journalist suggested that it is a sign that despite the team’s struggles this season, Postecoglou still has the support of many Spurs fans, who blame Daniel Levy for the club’s current mess.
Kinsella wrote for BBC Sport: “Ange Postecoglou was out acknowledging supporters for a long time at the final whistle, staying out longer than any other player or member of staff after the match, aside from goalscorer Mathys Tel.
