Jermaine Jenas has admitted someone who only arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in the summer has seriously impressed him.
It has been a seriously impressive season, on the whole, for the Lilywhites considering all of the changes that Daniel Levy over saw in the summer.
The loss of their record goalscorer in Harry Kane provided a lot of questions as to which direction Spurs would head prior to a ball even being kicked.
However, under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs find themselves back in the race for a spot in next season’s Champions League.
What Jermaine Jenas said about Ange Postecoglou
Whether Spurs will finish inside the top four spots or not is yet to be seen with some huge games on the horizon.
The next week will even provide Spurs with a major challenge as they now have three games between today and next Sunday to play.
But if they want to be playing in the Champions League next season, this is the type of scheduling that they will have to adjust to.
Speaking on TalkSPORT, the former Spurs midfielder, Jenas, has said he can wants Postecoglou to stay at Spurs for the next 10 years.
He said: “I love him, I really do. I get some people’s frustrations at times throughout the year, but when I look at him, he offers everything with regards to the style of play for the team, the way that they have now become an aggressive team on the front foot. They play very attractive football.”
“I hope he’s in the job for the next 5-10 years, I really do. I’m that impressed by him. I love everything that he stands for and I think he’s going to be great for the football club.”
What Jermaine Pennant said about Postecoglou to Liverpool
It is not just Jenas and other Spurs fans who have been impressed with what they have seen from Postecoglou this season.
A number of Premier League clubs are already being linked with potential swoops for the Australian ahead of the summer.
The 58-year-old has not even completed a full season of Premier League football and it is suggested he’s wanted by some of the biggest clubs about.
However, the Spurs manager has already played down these rumours and suggested he is here for the long-term.
Also speaking on TalkSPORT, former Liverpool player Jermaine Pennant admitted he would love to see Postecoglou replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
He said: “Where Spurs were to where they are now, it’s night and day. And that’s credit to him. He’s done a fantastic job. I think that if Liverpool came knocking on the door and said, ‘Postecoglou here we go, mate, get yourself in Klopp’s going.’ I think he’s jumping ships.”
Although the appeal of joining a club like Liverpool would likely prove an attractive prospect for many, it doesn’t feel like Spurs are concerned about losing Postecoglou.
It has not been the case for most managers who have come through the doors at Hotspur Way, but Levy is showing signs of backing his manager for now.
The summer will be the judge of that. If Spurs do secure Champions League football, it will be interesting to see whether Levy continues to provide Postecoglou the funds to spend.
