Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur manager, expresses his belief that the pressures of his job surpass even those of the Prime Minister. He comments on the current trend of quick managerial dismissals and the lack of respect for the human element involved.
The two teams are walking out onto the pitch - we’ll have some football to talk about very, very shortly. Ange Postecoglou believes being Tottenham Hotspur manager is harder than being Prime Minister as he tries to achieve the seemingly impossible task of helping the club win silverware. Spurs resume their latest quest to add to their trophy cabinet on Thursday night when Manchester United visit in the last eight of the Carabao Cup.
Tottenham have failed to win a prize since 2008 and a restless fanbase turned on chairman Daniel Levy during the 5-0 victory at Southampton on Sunday, with repeated chants calling for the long-serving director to leave.It was the home manager, Russell Martin, however, who lost his job hours after the St Mary’s thrashing to follow Gary O’Neil – sacked by Wolves – in being dismissed last weekend. Postecoglou is fully aware that defeat by United will turn the spotlight back on him but expressed his exasperation at the shelf life of head coaches in the current era. “We have lost all sort of modes of respect in our society where guys are in jobs and they are putting up names of who is going to replace them while they are still working,” Postecoglou reflected. “As a society, we are so quick to just throw people in the trash and move on really quickly with no thought or any care around it. I don’t know if there is a good way or a best way of handling it. “It is why I have left before it has ever happened to me, mate. Jump out before that comes my way. We have crossed that line now and it is open slather. “I get people who say, ‘managers have always been sacked’. I just think now it has gone beyond that, where we forget there is a human being involved. “This job is the hardest job now in any walk of life. You can say politics, but this is harder than any job. The tenure and longevity of this role now means that you go in to it and very few are going to come out of it without any scar
