Ange Postecoglou is very much a divisive character at Tottenham Hotspur.
Indeed, it’s increasingly difficult to get a read on Postecoglou’s personality.
One minute, Postecoglou is happy to have a laugh with journalists and have a bit of a joke, while other times, Postecoglou comes across as a frosty manager.
In fact, Postecoglou has been criticised for how he handles the media sometimes.
Speaking on TNT Sports, Joe Hart has been discussing Postecoglou and how he’s changed as a manager.
Hart knows Postecoglou well from his time at Celtic, and he says that he has noticed a slight change in the manager in how he handles the media at the moment, claiming that he’s seen a different side to the Australian recently.

The change Joe Hart has noticed in Ange Postecoglou
Hart spoke about Postecoglou and how he’s changed at Tottenham.
The pundit says that he has noticed a change in Postecoglou, claiming that he may be a bit more frosty because of the form Spurs have been in lately.
“Ange Postecoglou, you know him, what was he like?” Hart was asked.
“I loved him, but I was in a successful team,” Hart said.
“The Ange you see now, is that totally different to the Ange you knew?” The host asked.
“To an extent, but he was always engaging in answering questions and answering it his way, that’s what he does. The Tottenham team, the constant losses, it’s bringing that side of him out more, but it was there when we were at Celtic,” Hart said.
“At Tottenham it’s difficult because he’s constantly having to deal with it, it started well, but, he will be like that and he will stand by it.”
Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic record compared to Tottenham
Hart suggests that Postecoglou has become a bit more prickly because of Spurs’ form this season, and he may not be wrong.
Indeed, it’s much easier to wear a smile and be in a good mood if you’re winning games, and it’s fair to say that was a much more common occurrence at Celtic than it has been at Tottenham.
| Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic record | Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham record | |
|---|---|---|
| 113 | Games | 87 |
| 83 | Wins | 42 |
| 12 | Draws | 13 |
| 18 | Losses | 32 |
| 73% | Win percentage | 48% |
Postecoglou seemed a lot happier and a lot more mellow when he was at Celtic, and it’s easy to understand why.
Postecoglou was massively successful in Tottenham, but now, Postecoglou is on the verge of being sacked at Tottenham, and the pressure is getting to him.
As Hart says, Postecoglou seems to have changed since leaving Celtic for Tottenham.
