Head coach of the English Premier League (EPL) club Tottenham Hotspur Angelos (Ange) Postecoglou commented on rumors about his possible appointment to the post of coach of the national team of England.
July 16, it became known that the head coach of the Three Lions Gareth Southgate, who worked in his position since 2016, left the national team at will. Before that, the English became the finalist of the European Football Championship-2024, losing in the decisive match, which was held on July 14 in Berlin, the national team of Spain with a score of 1-2.
On July 18, The Telegraph reported that Greek-born Australian coach Postecoglou, 58, who is on the Football Association of England's (FA) shortlist, is one of the candidates to become the head coach of the England national team.
Daily Mail quotes Postecoglou as saying:
I was having a nap this afternoon so I’ve got no idea (about the England links). I’m Tottenham manager and I’m determined to bring success to this club like I have with every club I have been at. That’s where my focus is totally. Until we achieve something my work is not done.
Note that the mentor of the Spurs already has experience with the national team: in the period from October 2013 to November 2017 Postecoglou led the Australian national team.
