Even in the posteriori system, Son Heung-min is ‘untouchable’.

On June 6 (KST), Tottenham announced through their official channel, “We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Postecoglou as the new first-team coach.” The contract is for four years. The contract is for four years. Postecoglou will make history as the first Australian-born manager in the English Premier League. Postecoglou will start on July 1 and will confirm his coaching staff in due course.

Postecoglou’s appointment was only a matter of time. On the same day, European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano tweeted on social media, “Tottenham will appoint Postecoglou as their new manager. The deal is already done. The day before, he wrote: “Tottenham have reached an oral agreement with Postecoglou. All that remains is an agreement with Celtic,” Romano said, adding, “Celtic and Tottenham have agreed on compensation. Postecoglou has accepted all the terms. All that remains is to finalize the details. He even added the signature ‘HERE WE GO’, which is practically official. The BBC also broke the news: “Postecoglou has agreed to become Tottenham’s new manager. An official announcement will be made once the final details are finalized.

The initial speculation was that it would be two years or 2+1 years, but surprisingly, it ended up being four years. It’s a sign of the team’s commitment to building a new team under Postecoglue.

Initially, it seemed as though Postecoglou would stay at Celtic. Celtic were so determined that he didn”t see Tottenham as an attractive option. “Everyone asks me about it,” Postecoglou said of the Tottenham rumors in a recent interview. I want to focus on winning, and for some people the position may be attractive, but not for me,” he said in a recent interview. That changed after they beat Inverness to win the Scottish Cup. After completing the Domestic Treble – League, League Cup, and then Scottish Cup – there was nothing left for Postecoglou to achieve on the Scottish stage. Postecoglou wanted a new challenge, and Tottenham offered him one. The deal was finalized quickly, in what could be described as a blitzkrieg. Thus, Tottenham’s search for a new manager came to an end.
Now the focus is on the football that Postecoglou will bring to the club. Postecoglou has been in charge of Celtic since 2021. Having previously played for the Melbourne Victory, the Australian national team, and the Yokohama Marinos of the Japanese J-League, Postecoglou, who arrived in Europe for the first time, unleashed his potential at Celtic. His unorthodox policy of favoring Japanese players led to a double in his first season, winning the Scottish Premiership and League Cup. After winning back the title from Rangers and gaining the overwhelming support of the fans, Postecoglou has deepened his colors this season. He even won a treble this season. It was Celtic’s eighth treble of the season.

Postecoglou plays a fiery style of attacking soccer, scoring 114 goals in the league. His style is so aggressive that he’s openly said he likes the styles of Man City and Napoli. He also has no preconceived notions about opening the door to Asian players. Oh Hyun-kyu was one of Postecoglou’s top picks, and he also pushed for other Korean players. His lack of big league experience is a weakness, but with what he’s shown so far, he’s more than capable of taking the reins at Tottenham. The British media called him a “gem” and expressed their expectations. “I’m sure Spurs fans will be in for some entertaining football,” said ‘legend’ Chris Sutton.

Of course, it’s clear that he’s a bit of a low-profile appointment for Spurs fans. There are more negative voices than positive among Spurs fans who want a proven manager.

The English media are all over the map when it comes to predicting Postecoglou’s likely best 11. Son Heung-min is still expected to be the centerpiece of the attack. He is expected to play on the left wing in a 4-3-3. For Son, there are a lot of positives to take away from this, as he prefers to play attacking soccer and has a coach who understands Asian players. Heung-min and Postecoglou faced off in the 2015 Asian Cup final in Australia. Australia won the tournament with a 2-1 victory, and Postecoglou was the coach at the time. Son Heung-min scored a dramatic equalizer to send the game into extra time.

The big question mark is Harry Kane’s future. He is currently being linked to Real Madrid. If Kane stays, the Son-Ke duo will continue to lead the attack, but if not, a replacement will be needed. One potential replacement is Postecoglou favorite Kyogo Furuhashi. Furuhashi is a persona non grata for Postecoglou, having led the Scottish league in goals with 27 this season. This would create a South Korean-Japanese ace pairing of Son Heung-min and Furuhashi. Fans are already showing their anxiety. Furuhashi has a good eye for goal, but his physicality is problematic.

The defense will be converted into a back four. It will be anchored by Cristian Romero. The midfield will also see changes. We’re expecting James Maddison to join the team, but it’s clear that it’s a different setup than before. In goal, Hugo Llorente’s departure has been confirmed, so there will be some new faces. With the likes of Eric Dier, Xherdan Shaqiri, and Ivan Perisic out of the picture, there will be plenty of changes. For now, it’s clear that the attacking style will remain. The jury is still out on how Tottenham will fare under Pochettino, with more concerns than excitement.
