ANGE POSTECOGLOU’S second season at a club has never failed to be a spectacular success.

Ange working to repeat his second-season magic formula

In year two at Brisbane Roar, Postecoglou won the Australian top flight at a canter, losing just one game all season.

In Japan, his Yokohama F. Marinos flirted with relegation in his maiden season before winning their first title in 15 years the following campaign.

Even at Celtic, where Postecoglou won the title in his maiden year, the team went to new heights by storming to an historic treble.

As Tottenham prepare to get their season under way at Leicester on Monday night, the question is whether Postecoglou can again deliver glory in his second season?

The manager, always bullish, said in April that he expected to challenge for the title this term (“I hope so, or why am I doing what I’m doing?”), but it would be understandable if this project takes longer than his previous rebuilds; this is the Premier League, and winning a cup competition is a more realistic aim than a first league title since 1961.
