The Ange Postecoglou era means a fresh slate for his Tottenham Hotspur players and that will see a number of them trying to catch his eye.
Pre-season training for the club's non-international players often begins on the first Monday of July, but football.london understands that some players will return two days earlier this time on Saturday July 1, Postecoglou's first official day of work at Spurs. The first day or two of pre-season is normally spent carrying out fitness tests on the players to check on their status following their time off.
They will then launch into the tough work of a Postecoglou pre-season to prepare them for what he describes as 'relentless' training and match displays during the campaign. Training sessions during a season are 60-70 minutes long of non-stop work and drills on the pitch but the summer is expected to be even tougher as the new head coach gets the players into the physical shape required to play his high energy, non-stop style of attacking and pressing football.
