Postecoglou wants new players for Tottenham in January

Since changing Celtic with Tottenham, the Australian has taken the team to the 2^nd place in the league with a very beautiful attacking style of football.

“I never thought I would work in the Premier League, to be honest, not because of what I can achieve, just because no one was looking at me,” the manager shared with the BBC.

“I became late in my career, coaching 1 of the most famous teams in the world – Celtic and 1 of the biggest football sides in the world in Tottenham. It has come late; it just took a president to look beyond the norm.”

Postecoglou also added that he was in a refugee camp but played for Australia after that.
