Ange Postecoglou has been at Tottenham Hotspur for less than a month, but has already curried favour with his new playing staff after creating a training schedule for the next month – something that former boss Antonio Conte never did.
The Australian was appointed permanent manager of Tottenham at the start of June and has very quickly improved the mood around the football club in the wake of a disastrous season in 2022/23, which saw the club finish eighth in the Premier League.

Long gone is the idea of defensive football instilled by Antonio Conte, replaced by Postecoglou‘s preference for attacking, exciting play.
The squad is being transformed, too, it seems, with two new signings already, and further additions set to follow.
While a ball is yet to be kicked, the atmosphere appears to be overwhelmingly positive right now among the players and supporters alike heading into the new season.
Ange Postecoglou is planning ahead
In a report from the Daily Mail, it has been revealed that Postecoglou has already improved the way things work at Tottenham, simply by giving his players a training schedule for the month ahead.
Described as an “early victory” for Postecoglou, it is believed the 57-year-old’s decision to let those around him know what’s happening in advance has been regarded as “a big step towards winning over” the players and staff at Spurs.
Apparently, this is a “marked change” from how things worked under Conte, who would often leave it until the night before a training session to let the players and staff know what time they would be required.
It is suggested this method caused “pain” for those involved as they were unable to organise time with their families.

It’s amazing how something so simple could be taken for granted under Antonio Conte.
The fact that Postecoglou has come into the club and knows exactly what he wants his players to do for the next month as they prepare for the new season certainly bodes well for how his tenure might go.
