Gary Neville says Manchester City could view Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou as a potential replacement for Pep Guardiola
Former Man United captain and now-pundit Gary Neville has recently showered praise on Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou, suggesting that Manchester City might have their eyes on the Greek-Australian tactician as a potential successor for Pep Guardiola.
Following Spurs’ convincing victory against Nottingham Forest, which saw them draw level on points with Manchester City (albeit having played a game more), Neville couldn’t help but commend Postecoglou for his remarkable impact at the North London club.
The style of football implemented by the Australian manager has certainly caught the attention of many, including Neville, who went on to express his admiration for Postecoglou’s approach. His footballing philosophy and the exciting brand of football he has instilled at Tottenham could make him an attractive prospect for Manchester City in the future as per Neville.
Here is what Neville had to say via football.london :
“But for Ange Postecoglou the way in which they’re playing and the football that they’re playing, Spurs fans won’t like this, but he is amazing and if you’re Manchester City losing Pep Guardiola in a year or two you’ll be looking at Ange Postecoglou thinking, ‘wow, that’s exactly what we want to see’. But for the time being, Spurs have got to enjoy him.”
Can’t part ways with Ange, mate!
While acknowledging that Spurs fans might not remain thrilled at the thought of losing their talented manager, Neville emphasised that Postecoglou’s style aligns with the qualities City would be looking for in a potential successor to Guardiola.
The reality is, that the idea of Ange to City is far from reality. He’s only just getting started at N17. He would surely not like to dip on the club after the positive start. There are little doubts that Ange aspires to bring a lot of silverware to the club that has introduced him to the English game.
The Australian manager has not only revitalized the team’s playing style but has also earned recognition from peers in the footballing world. As speculation swirls about potential managerial changes at top clubs, the acknowledgement of Postecoglou’s qualities by someone like Gary Neville certainly adds weight to the notion that the former Celtic boss is making waves in English football.
The theme of Tottenham fans not wanting to part ways with Postecoglou surely resonates strongly. He has become a symbol of hope, steering the Lilywhites towards a more promising future. The manager’s ability to instil a winning mentality and his commitment to ending the club’s trophy drought have surely endeared him to the fanbase.
