“I am the Tottenham manager I only think about Tottenham’s success”
Tottenham Hotspur manager Anzhi Postecoglou and Son Heung-min
Anzhi Postecoglou (58, Greece), the manager of Tottenham Hotspur (England) where Son Heung-min plays, dismissed the rumor that he was a candidate for the England manager position, saying, “I have no idea.”
In an interview with BBC Scotland on the 18th (Korean time), Manager Postecoglou said, “I have no idea. I have only been preparing for Tottenham’s practice match.”
Tottenham Hotspur won 5-1 in a pre-season friendly match against Scottish Premiership (1st division) club Hearts of Midlothian held at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Son Heung-min, who only played in the first half, failed to score an attacking point, and Tottenham won a big victory by scoring one goal in the first half and four goals in the second half.
Meanwhile, British media outlets included Manager Postecoglou in their list of candidates to become the next manager of the England national team after Gareth Southgate left the team.
The reason he was nominated was because of his good performances while leading the Australian national team from 2013 to 2017.
Previously, British media outlets had named Newcastle (England) manager Eddie Howe, former Bayern Munich (Germany) manager Thomas Tuchel, and former Chelsea (England) manager Graham Potter as candidates for the position of England national team manager.
In an interview with reporters after the friendly match, Coach Postecoglou emphasized, “I am the Tottenham manager. Tottenham is where I should be.”
“As the manager of Tottenham, I have no other thoughts than to bring success to the team as we start pre-season,” he said. “I took a nap in the afternoon. I have no idea what is going on with the England manager’s candidates.” 토토사이트
