Ange Postecoglou has explained how he transforms the football clubs he joins but it is a process that Tottenham fans will need some patience for and he will require help from chairman Daniel Levy.
The 57-year-old Australian is expected to be appointed as the new Spurs head coach this week after leading Celtic to the domestic treble and rebuilding the Scottish club from the inside as Postecoglou has done throughout a career that has taken him across his homeland and Japan, having won the Asian Cup with Australia and qualified and competed at the World Cup.
Postecoglou's fast, possession-based football has brought plenty of envious eyes across Europe, with Brighton said to be interested in appointing him last season but unable to prise him away from Scotland. Now he is set to bring his brand of football to the Premier League with Tottenham instead but as with the doubters when he first arrived at Celtic it is going to take time for him to make the changes required amid the scepticism.
