Postecoglou: Coaching in England Is Harder Than Being Prime Minister
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou compares the challenges of coaching in England to the pressures of being a Prime Minister, highlighting the weekly scrutiny faced by managers.
Ange Postecoglou, head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, expressed his frustration at the pressures of coaching in England, ahead of their Carabao Cup quarterfinal against Manchester United. In a candid interview, Postecoglou remarked, "Coaching here is tougher than being a Prime Minister. They face elections every few years, but for us, every week feels like an election."
Postecoglou elaborated on the relentless scrutiny managers endure, stating that weekly results determine their fate, and the emotional toll is immense. Tottenham, without a major trophy since 2008, adds additional pressure to the role, with fans demanding silverware from every new appointment.
Currently sitting tenth in the Premier League, Tottenham’s hopes of ending their trophy drought largely rest on their performance in the Carabao Cup. Despite a challenging season, Postecoglou emphasized the importance of this opportunity to deliver success for the club and its fans.
Meanwhile, Manchester United enters the match on a high note, having recently secured a dramatic victory against rivals Manchester City in the derby, boosting their confidence for this clash.
