Ange Postecoglou prolongs Tottenham tenure with chance to silence critics
Under-fire Spurs boss will hope vital victory in Frankfurt proves a real turning point, rather than another merely fleeting glimpse of success
Ange Postecoglou could not resist a final word before he left the subterranean press conference room at Deutsche Bank Park late on Thursday night.
“Unfortunately for a lot of you, you’re going to have to put up with me for a little bit longer, mate, so let’s see how that goes,” Postecoglou said, in a reminder to his critics that Tottenham’s seismic 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt had surely prolonged his tenure as head coach.
There is suddenly a genuine chance, too, that the 59-year-old can earn a third season at Spurs by making good on his promise to win something in his second year in charge and delivering the trophy that he has acknowledged may be the only way to unite a fractured club.
