Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou voiced that he does not feel disrespected by former club boss Mauricio Pochettino‘s desire to one day return to the London outfit and expressed that the Argentine does indeed get to fulfil his dream someday.
“I mean Mauricio, if he wants to come back one day, I hope it happens for him,” Postecoglou said
“We all have dreams and aspirations,” the Spurs boss added.
“If that’s what he wants, then you’re suggesting he is trying to put pressure on me? Well, I don’t feel disrespected.”
Postecoglou stated that the Argentine would be the right person to explain his intent best and that his desires weren’t something he felt the need to be consumed by.
” I think if you ask Mauricio that question directly, you would get a pretty clear answer as to what his intent was,” the 59-year-old said.
“Again, nothing for me to be consumed with. I’m more focused on making sure we try to win tomorrow night,” he added.
Tottenham slumped to their 15th PL defeat of the season before the international break when they fell to a 2-0 loss to Fulham. But despite the harsh result, Postecoglou maintained that he wasn’t worried about getting the sack.
“I know what my responsibilities are and I am sure if the club decide to go in a different direction, there are some outstanding candidates for it,” the Spurs gaffer added.
“And you know what, maybe someone will think, ‘Ange Postecoglou is not a bad coach, maybe we’ll take a punt on him’,” he continued.
“Mate, it doesn’t rock my world. It doesn’t consume me. I am here, I am passionate about what we’re doing. I was brought in to change the way the club plays, rejuvenate the squad and bring success. I am focused on that and that is what I’ll keep doing,” the Australian concluded.
