Ange Postecoglou looking forward to Tottenham rebuild

Ange Postecoglou will relish the chance to prove people wrong at Tottenham after claiming he has needed to be "faultless" to reach this stage of his managerial career.

A coaching journey spanning nearly three decades has taken the Australian from Melbourne to London via spells in Yokohama and Glasgow.

Success has followed the 57-year-old, but he is now tasked with a sizeable rebuilding job at Spurs, who have not won a trophy since 2008 and finished eighth in the Premier League last season.

"All I know is I love winning," Postecoglou said during his first press conference in his new role. "I don't do any job unless I think I can win. That's going to be my intent.

"I've been fortunate in the past because I've had success but whenever I reflect on any job I've had, it's not the success that I look back on, it's the build that I look back on because I know it's not always going to be smooth.

"There's going to be plenty of doubters, which is when your belief and resolve gets doubted. Not just for me personally, but the whole club, the whole group and I love working through that, getting out the other side.

"That's the biggest attraction for me in this position. Aside from being in a massive football club and the premier competition in the world... the opportunity to do something that people will see in many respects as insurmountable. I love that."

Postecoglou struck all the right notes a month on from his 6 June appointment, having guided Celtic to five trophies in his two seasons in Scotland despite a rocky start to life in Glasgow.

He is now in charge of a club in desperate need of direction and a cultural reset after the spells of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte saw Tottenham move away from the attractive, attacking football
