Former Tottenham defender Ledley King has offered a strong vote of confidence in manager Ange Postecoglou, despite the club’s challenging start to the 2024-25 season. Speaking to Seaman Says (sponsored by Betway), King expressed his belief that Postecoglou remains the ideal choice to lead Spurs forward, even as they sit ninth in the table after losing three of their last five matches.
King’s faith stems from Postecoglou’s transformative impact during his debut season, where he guided the team to a fifth-place finish despite losing Harry Kane to Bayern Munich. The former captain particularly appreciates Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy, describing it as “a breath of fresh air” and praising the Australian’s commitment to entertaining, winning football.
According to King, Tottenham has always possessed the talent to compete at the highest level, but Postecoglou’s approach of encouraging player expression and aggressive football could be the key to unlocking that potential. He acknowledges that such an ambitious style will inevitably lead to “ups and downs,” but believes this is a necessary part of the team’s evolution.
Drawing from his own experience as part of Spurs’ 2008 League Cup-winning side, King suggests that playing with freedom rather than constraint could be crucial to ending the club’s trophy drought. He points to Tottenham’s continued involvement in all competitions as evidence that success remains possible this season.
The message from King is clear: while results might currently be mixed, Postecoglou’s positive impact on the club’s culture and playing style deserves patience and support as he builds for long-term success.
