Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou compares the pressures of managing in the Premier League to being Prime Minister, highlighting the intense scrutiny and short tenure managers face. He criticizes the treatment of recently sacked managers Gary O’Neil and Russell Martin, lamenting the lack of respect and support for managers in today's football.
‘We have an election every week and get voted in or out’A Premier League manager has a tougher job than the prime minister, according to Ange Postecoglou . The Tottenham manager was reflecting on the departure of top-flight peers Gary O’Neil and Russell Martin while looking ahead to a meeting with the new“This job is the hardest job now in any walk of life,” declared Postecoglou. “You can say politics but this is harder than any job.
“Gary and Russell are both outstanding young managers who have long careers ahead of them. Unfortunately, for them at the beginning of their careers that’s what a manager’s career is going to look like. You’ll find that from now on managers are going to have about 20 clubs on their CV. Even the successful ones.”
The Australian’s previous declaration that he always wins trophies in his second season at a club places pressure on Spurs’ Carabao Cup run, but Postecoglou said winning one trophy would not be nearly enough. “I always say that my ambition is to build a team and a club that has an opportunity for sustainable success. I don’t think winning a trophy will have done that but it will help the cause as it will show the ability to win things, create an environment that does bring trophies.
