Ange Postecoglou breaks silence with 'exciting' first message to Tottenham fans

Ange Postecoglou has stated that he, his coaching staff and the players "won't leave any stone unturned" in pre-season as he bids to form a Tottenham team fans can get "excited by". Following Antonio Conte's departure from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of March, the Lilywhites confirmed the appointment of the ex-Celtic manager as the Italian's replacement on Tuesday morning.

Postecoglou, who enjoyed two fantastic years in Glasgow where he led the Bhoys to five trophies from a possible six, has penned a four-year contract in N17. With only chairman Daniel Levy speaking at the time of his appointment, the 57-year-old has now spoken to the club's fans for the very first time as Tottenham head coach.

"Hi everyone, it's great to finally get started as manager of this great football club," he said in a video message on the club's social media channels. "I'm really looking forward to our task ahead. I think it's an exciting opportunity for us to now sort of set off in a new direction, play football and create an environment that embodies the values and traditions of this fantastic football club.
