‘It’s great to finally get started as manager of this great football club,’ Postecoglou said in a video posted by the club. ‘I’m really looking forward to our task ahead.

As the first Australian to manage in the Premier League, Postecoglou is already a trailblazer. But he’ll ultimately hope to leave a more significant mark on a club that has been aimlessly drifting since the departure of Mauricio Pochettino in 2019.
No Spurs fan will be keen to relive their 2022/23 Premier League campaign that saw an eighth-placed finish and humiliating defeats to Leicester City, Newcastle United and Bournemouth.
The incoming boss signalled he appreciation of the need to get supporters back on side and insisted his team will put in the hard yards to do so.
He added: ‘I can assure you that right through pre-season, we won’t leave any stone unturned, myself, the staff and the players to make sure that when the league comes around that you’ll be all as excited as I am about the season ahead.
‘So I really look forward to seeing everyone at the stadium, in particular at our first home game, and look forward to the journey ahead.’
