The new Spurs boss is proving to be a success on and off the pitch.
Paul Fennessy IS IT POSSIBLE to be a highly successful Premier League manager and also a nice person?It’s a question people have been asking for decades.
Another coach frequently accused of being “too nice” is Graham Potter. He did well at Brighton but more recently, lasted just seven months when he was given the opportunity to manage a more high-profile club, Chelsea.When you think of Jose Mourinho, you would think of his treatment of referees — of Anders Frisk as well as the controversy after last year’s Europa League final among countless other examples.
Beyond managers’ behaviour, there are plenty of other reasons to dislike modern football, the latest notable example being today’s revelations in an article by The Athletic that Manchester City’s Premier League charges have been discussed by the UK government and its embassy in Abu Dhabi, or Mohammed bin Salman saying this week that he doesn’t care about sportswashing accusations.
At the moment, Ange Postecoglou feels like an antidote to the abundance of antagonistic, narcissistic and utterly tribal individuals that permeate the game at the top level. It’s early days of course and previous coaches like Nuno Espírito Santo and Jose Mourinho had hugely encouraging starts at Tottenham before it ultimately fell apart.
