[Charlie Eccleshare] ‘The call’: How Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou convinces players to sign for him

Here’s an absolutely fantastic piece that came out last year about Ange’s influence in signing players. Thought it was really relevant with the huge Tel story. Couple quotes picked out:

“At Celtic, new signings waxing lyrical about their conversations with Postecoglou became so commonplace that there was a running joke that the head coach could have an alternative career in recruitment if he ever had enough of football.”

“…those who have worked with Postecoglou say that he is always immaculately prepared for every meeting and conversation he has. That, allied with his emotional intelligence, allows him to understand players and have a sense of what they need at that point in their career.”
