Ange Postecoglou has revealed he has received a lot of support from the former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp.
The Australian has now been at the helm since June 2023 and Spurs are right in the mix to land a Champions League spot.
And it seems Ange Postecoglou has had the support of the 76-year-old, Redknapp, after making the move from Celtic.
Postecoglou lauds Harry Redknapp
It has been quite the start to the Postecoglou era at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the Lilywhites surpass expectations in the Premier League.
Along with losing the club’s record goalscorer Harry Kane in the summer, the Australian has had to deal with numerous injury issues along the way.
Speaking to the media ahead of Tottenham’s game against Crystal Palace on Saturday, Postecoglou revealed his relationship with Redknapp.
He said: ‘He has been really supportive from when I arrived. We had a little bit of history as he took over Jordan when I was manager of Australia and we reminisced about those days, a long way from where we are now.
‘I enjoy those chats, it’s an opportunity for me to talk to people I have admired from afar and it is great to connect.’

The impressive start to life in capital has seen Postecoglou recently awarded as the Manager of the Year at the London Football Awards.
But there is still an awful lot of work to be done by the Lilywhites if they want to be playing Champions League football.
A huge couple of weeks awaits Spurs as the game against Palace is followed up by a visit to Aston Villa who currently occupy fourth spot.
Tottenham do hold a game in hand over Unai Emery’s men, however, they also have a number of significant injuries.
Pedro Porro remains absent for the game against Palace on the weekend and Richarlison has now emerged as an injury blow.
