‘I don’t feel I’ve completed the job’ – Spurs boss defiant on future

  • 17 Comments

After guiding Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years, Ange Postecoglou claims he still wants to lead the team and that he has not “completed the job.”

Spurs defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final in Bilbao, Spain, thanks to Brennan Johnson’s scrappy first-half goal, followed by a determined defensive display.

The club won their first continental trophy since 1984’s Uefa Cup triumph, and it was their first silverware since winning the Carling Cup in 2008. Tottenham’s qualification for the Champions League will come after the outcome of a disappointing campaign.

The 59-year-old Australian said, “I’ve had such a laser focus on winning this, whatever happens, happens.” When asked about his future, he replied: “I’ve had such a laser focus on winning.”

The football club’s manager is not in my power to decide that. I’m only aware that wearing this medal around my neck signifies that we’ve won a trophy. I don’t believe my job has been completed.

“This team is still being built,” he said. We need to add experience because the Champions League is currently being played by a young team. For the next four or five years, I’ve been attempting to create a team that can be challenging.

I’ve always believed in winning things, and I want to continue doing that.

Nightmare for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as Montecito ‘rocked by crime’ – including dogging

In Montecito, California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live, which has been the subject of a number of crimes, including a dogging incident close to their home.

After stepping back from Royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made their home in the celebrity enclave of Montecito. This Californian town is one of the most affluent areas in the States, boasting residents like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, and Orlando Bloom.

Yet, even in upscale Montecito, crime rears its head, with a local news outlet reporting a salacious incident early in May. The Montecito Journal disclosed that a police officer caught someone on probation “engaged in sexual intercourse inside a parked vehicle” at about 11pm on Friday, May 2.

Cocaine was also discovered in the suspect’s wallet while the authorities searched for it. Just under three miles away from Harry and Meghan’s private residence on Rockbridge Road, Channel Drive, a scandalous event took place.

In an earlier chat with The Cut, Meghan expressed how much the couple had wanted their home: “Because you walk in and go… Joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free.”, reports the Express.

The Sussexes paid $14. 65m (£10. 9m) for their retreat, which is now believed to be worth twice that amount. Beyond the recent risqué rendezvous, the Montecito Journal has noted additional misdemeanours in the vicinity over the past month, including an assault on two individuals on the street around 7pm on Tuesday, April 29.

A man reportedly stopped his vehicle in the middle of the road, shouting at the victims about trespassing before getting out and grabbing one of them by the collar. When the other victim attempted to step in, the suspect seized him by the collar and kicked him. The suspect fled the scene, prompting a police investigation.

In a separate incident, a burglary was reported at a property on Olive Mill Road on Friday, 2 May. This location is less than two miles, or a five-minute drive, from the Sussexes’ home. According to the report, a Glock pistol and high-end chairs were stolen from a locked storage container in the back garden. No arrests have been made in connection with the burglary.

It was previously reported by the Express that the Montecito neighbourhood had been hit by a string of other crimes, including a vehicle break-in and a resident reporting a suspicious individual “knocking on windows and looking into properties”.

Detective Anthony Nunez of the Special Crime Division revealed that gangs, primarily from Chile and Venezuela, were responsible for the burglaries in the area, typically consisting of three or four men and women working together. He explained: “They conduct surveillance prior to the robbery to figure out your pattern of being at home and being away. [Then] they place cameras on the properties they are targeting.

Postecoglou’s second-season success – what and how has he won?

JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to play this video.

In my second year, I always triumph. Nothing has changed. I don’t say things unless I believe them.

Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, was in a defiant mood when his team lost 1-0 to Arsenal at home in September, and he has since heard that phrase all the time.

The 59-year-old Australian, who took over Spurs in July 2023, has had the last laugh by winning Manchester United 1-0 on Wednesday in the Europa League final.

Tottenham, whose most recent success was the 2008 League Cup, was only a few points away from proving him wrong earlier this year.

After the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool, they took a 1-0 lead before falling to 4-0 in the reverse fixture at Anfield. Tottenham also lost to Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth-round hurdle.

The Europa League victory, which kept Postecoglou’s excellent second-year record, and may keep him in his job, also sealed his 100th game as manager of Spurs, which also included his 100th appearance in charge of the club.

In his second or third full year in charge, he won the Australian title with Yokohama F. Marinos, the Japanese league with South Melbourne and Brisbane Roar, and the Australian league with Yokohama F. Marinos.

Postecoglou also won the Scottish championship and the Asian Cup twice while leading Celtic, two years after taking over as Australia manager.

He spent two seasons in charge of the three smaller clubs he failed to win anything at, including Melbourne Victory, which he left after 18 months in search of the Australian job.

Celtic (June 2021-June 2023)

Matches: 113. Wins: 83 Draws: 12. Losses: 18. Goals scored: 284. Goals conceded: 108.

Postecoglou joined Celtic in June 2021, just after Rangers won the Scottish Premiership.

The Australian won five trophies with the Bhoys in his two years at the club, but he didn’t need two more to do it.

In his first campaign, they won the League Cup and became Scottish champions, before adding the Scottish Cup to complete the domestic treble in his second year with him, moving to Tottenham.

Before joining Celtic, former England goalkeeper Joe Hart had already won two Premier League titles with Manchester City. He believed that teaching his players new skills and a different perspective on the game was one of Postecoglou’s greatest strengths.

Following Postecoglou’s second Scottish title triumph in May 2023, Hart remarked, “He is top, really, really good.” He says, “It makes me feel alive because he is very clear about what he wants, and the biggest buzz for me is playing for someone who is pushing me.”

I’ve played for a number of successful teams. This is the first time I have played for a team with that kind of identity, despite the fact that it has always existed.

Yokohama F. Marinos (January 2018-June 2021)

Matches: 161. Wins: 79. Draws: 30. Losses: 52. Goals scored: 313. Goals conceded: 228.

Prior to joining Yokohama F. Marinos, Postecoglou spent three and a half years in Japan.

In his first ten months there, he almost won a trophy, but Shonan Bellmare lost 1-0 to him in the J. League Cup .

However, his team’s success was not far away, winning the J1 League to become Japan’s champions and moving six points clear of FC Tokyo.

After Yokohama had fought back from 1-0, 2-1, and 3-2 down to leave it at 3-3 after 90 minutes, the team was invited back to the Japanese Super Cup (their version of the Community Shield).

Japanese football writer Dan Orlowitz remarked, “Ange really gave the club a purpose.”

It was a fresh approach to football that the league had not yet witnessed. Even when YFM struggled to achieve its goals in 2018, it was obvious that the players, and more importantly, Ange, were committed to what he was doing.

Australia (October 2013-November 2017)

Matches: 49. Wins: 22. Draws: 12. Losses: 15. Goals scored: 86. Goals conceded: 58.

Postecoglou played for Australia four times during his playing career, and in 2013 he was given the opportunity to become the nation’s national manager.

Australia finished third in a tough group that included the Netherlands, Chile, and 2010 champion Spain at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

More than 76, 000 spectators watched the Socceroos’ victory in Sydney’s Asian Cup match against South Korea in January 2015 in the home country of Australia.

Before Son Heung-min, Postecoglou’s current captain at Tottenham, scored in the 91st minute to bring the tie to extra time, Massimo Luongo (currently at Ipswich Town) put Australia ahead. However, James Troisi, who developed through Newcastle United’s academy, delivered the winning goal as Postecoglou and Australia won the tournament by 2-1.

Tim Cahill, a former Everton midfielder, was a key player for Australia at the time, and he praised Postecoglou in an interview with Optus Sport in 2024.

I never knew Ange until he started working in Australia, where he had a great pedigree, Cahill said. Everything he says when he speaks is clear and logical: he wants the players to have the ball in the air, action, and intensity.

Brisbane Roar (Oct 2009-April 2012)

Matches: 83. Wins: 42. Draws: 24. Losses: 17. Goals scored: 142. Goals conceded: 91.

Postecoglou spent 18 months with Melbourne Victory before assuming the role of Australia manager. However, he was unable to return for a second full season.

He returned after a fantastic season with another Australian team, the Brisbane Roar. They won the A-League Championship in 2010-11 after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, and they kept it that way the following year.

Former Brisbane captain Matt Smith stated to BBC Sport, “Ange’s main strength is his ability to bring players along that journey and buy into what he does.”

“Players who don’t want to follow have no tolerance for it. We never felt comfortable; instead, we were constantly striving to improve, develop, and work harder than any other group I’ve ever encountered.

Postecoglou served as the head coach of the Australian youth teams for seven years, winning three games and competing at the Oceania Under-17 and Under-20 Championships.

Matches: 155. Wins: 82. Draws: 30. Losses: 43. Goals scored: 276. Goals conceded: 194.

Postecoglou’s first managerial position was in South Melbourne’s A-League, which was the A-League’s predecessor.

Love Island’s Andrew Le Page reveals he is secretly dating after Tasha Ghouri split

After a shock split from Tasha Ghouri after two and a half years together, Love Island star Andrew Le Page updated his social media followers on his romantic life.

Love Island star Andrew Le Page has admitted he is back on the dating scene months after his shock split from Tasha Ghouri. The former couple stunned their fans when they announced their relationship was over in February after two and a half years together.

Now, as Tasha continues to wish her ex well despite him being “blindsided” by the split, Andrew has admitted he is back in the hunt for his perfect partner. The 30-year-old took to his TikTok to share a message with his followers.

Last week, the former estate agent jokingly apologized on social media for anticipating a new girl in a clip. It appeared as though the relationship had ended.

Before turning around and stumbling in the corner of the room, Andrew is depicted in the video looking depressed toward the camera. “Putting myself in a position to get excited over a girl once more,” he captioned his upload.

Continue reading the article.

Despite the seemingly failed attempt to re-enter the dating world, his followers quickly gathered to offer their support. One user told the reality TV star in the comments section: “Andrew you deserve the world and more hope one day you find your person.”

Tasha was spotted on a dating app shortly after their split, prompting Andrew’s upload. Although they appear to be a strong couple in public, it’s believed that behind the scenes things were already happening.

Tasha openly admitted to breaking up with her relationship in a memoir titled Your Superpower. She admitted that the tension from the show was what caused the romantic breakdown in it and attributed some of the blame to Strictly.

It’s a long process, she said in the book, but it’s really about having people working with people who have disabilities to help them find their self-assurance. I was completely aware that it wasn’t appropriate. There were a lot of tears shed, and it was very difficult. I planned to marry Andrew, but he was not. We discussed having children.

It was recently revealed Andrew was leaving the UK to live in Dubai. Speaking to the Mirror on the BAFTA Awards 2025 red carpet in London earlier this month, Tasha said she was “doing okay” since the split.

She acknowledged that “breakups aren’t easy for anyone to go through.” I look back and see Andrew with a smile on my face because we had great memories together. “I had a great two and a half years with him.” I wish him the best and sometimes it just doesn’t work out because that’s what happened. I’m just advancing right now.

Continue reading the article.

Andrew appeared less content with the split despite Tasha’s well-wishes. Andrew didn’t seem particularly impressed when he responded to a number of questions from Snapchat users.

One follower inquired about how he handled the “different negative narratives” surrounding the relationship breakdown. Let’s just say I had to bite my tongue with it all, he teased in response. Truth always emerges right at some point.
