Ange Postecoglou ‘dropped down’ from Celtic to Spurs as regret question asked
Ange Postecoglou’s move from Celtic to Tottenham might have been good for his career but he has taken a step down in terms of size of club.
That’s the view of Robbie Savage who also wonders if the Aussie might live to regret giving up what he had at Parkhead. The 57-year-old was met with scepticism by Spurs fans who worried about the fact he hasn’t managed in one of the so-called bigger leagues, but Savage reckons it’s a brilliant appointment.
However, he feels Postecoglou is taking a risk by leaving a club where he had achieve so much and was adored by the support. The former Wales midfielder also reckons it’s a backwards step when you consider the Hoops are in the Champions League and Spurs are not.
He told Star Sports: “I think it is a brilliant step for Ange Postecoglou, even though he has dropped down in club size. Brilliant (for Tottenham fans), what he did with Celtic, the brand of football, I keep a close eye on the Scottish Premiership. You have to win the league if you are Celtic or Rangers and he did it convincingly, the Treble.
“But the brand of football more importantly and way he played, Spurs haven’t got the star on their shirt like Celtic. Champions League football for Celtic.
“Is it a gamble? He needs time at that football club, look at Jose Mourinho, they have gone for proven winners Spurs in recent years. Ange Postecoglou winning at Celtic and will he live to regret it? At Celtic, adored, Champions League football. He’s taken a step down.”
