Tottenham's Postecoglou Claims Premier League Management Tougher Than Prime Minister Role

As Tottenham prepares for a Carabao Cup quarter-final, Ange Postecoglou reflects on the pressures of football management and its human toll.

Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham's manager, stated that being a Premier League coach is the hardest job, likening it to facing an 'election every weekend.'
Postecoglou highlighted the precarious nature of football management, citing recent sackings of Russell Martin and Gary O'Neil as examples of diminishing job security.
Tottenham, without a trophy since 2008, faces Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, a match that could influence Postecoglou’s standing with fans and critics.
The Australian coach criticized modern football culture for its lack of respect toward managers, emphasizing the personal and professional toll of constant scrutiny and short tenures.
Postecoglou expressed a desire to build sustainable success at Tottenham, rejecting short-term fixes despite the intense pressure to deliver immediate results.
