TalkSPORT pundit Darren Bent has claimed David Moyes will be stunned Ange Postecoglou was awarded Manager of the Year over him.
The Tottenham Hotspur manager was handed the award at the London Football Awards on Thursday night.
Ange Postecoglou was able to beat the likes of Mikel Arteta and David Moyes despite only arriving at Spurs in the summer.
Postecoglou wins award
The Australian has become fairly used to winning individual awards since he took over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Postecoglou won the opening three Manager of the Month awards in the Premier League this term.
And has now been named the Manager of the Year at the London Football Awards.
A prize which the 58-year-old even admitted was ‘bizarre‘ considering he hasn’t even completed a full season at Spurs.
Speaking on TalkSPORT about the award, Bent says he was stunned the West Ham United manager did not win it. he said: ‘How has David Moyes not won that? Come on. [Mikel] Arteta, more points than him [Postecoglou]. They’re 11 points ahead of Spurs. Be serious.’
‘David Moyes… even he must be laughing at this.’
Bright future under Postecoglou
Whether Postecoglou was a worthy winner of the award or not, it’s clear he is doing positive things at the club.
Champions League football is on the radar and there is still a lot of opportunities to leapfrog Aston Villa in the top four.
But even a finish in the Europa League places would be an improvement on what Antonio Conte delivered last term.
Spurs entered the season after a difficult summer which saw the club’s record goalscorer depart in Harry Kane.
But with players like James Maddison and Micky van de Ven proving smart buys, it is apparent Spurs are building a side to compete at the top.
And the acquisition of promising youngsters like Lucas Bergvall indicate there are plans in place for the long-term success at Hotspur Way.
