There are query marks round Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou and it’s simple for followers to name for somebody like Mauricio Pochettino to return after they felt like they’d success below him even with out profitable trophies.
Postecoglou may construct one thing comparable if he’s given 5 years like Pochettino. If he’s given what he needs and time to work and is measured on that then that could be a extra affordable technique to see whether or not he takes the membership in a special course or not.
It is about how we measure success. Pochettino acquired to a Champions League remaining the place Spurs misplaced to , and persistently certified for the competitors, however didn’t ship a trophy.
It is at all times troublesome for managers to come back again. They may at all times get respect if they’ve executed properly on the membership beforehand however then if issues begin going badly a well-respected determine can lose that standing fairly rapidly with the followers.
It relies upon if the membership view that as the proper course or as a step backwards. Jose Mourinho returned to and was an absolute legend from his first stint and once more firstly of his return, however issues unfolded and there was a little bit of a bitter style when he left after the second spell as he misplaced the dressing room.
The distinction between these two managers is that Mourinho was a serial winner whereas Pochettino has not executed that.
If they’re searching for somebody to get the followers again on board it’s a good possibility however is Pochettino the proper man to alter and progress the membership? I most likely do not suppose so.
