Ange Postecoglou has revealed he supported one of Tottenham’s Premier League rivals as a kid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old took over the north London side this summer and has guided them to a fine start to the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Greek-born Australian\u00a0Postecoglou has admitted he always wanted to become a manager from a young age and has been inspired by one of country’s biggest clubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I was a massive Liverpool fan. I loved Bill Shankly, I loved the boot room, the whole story,’ the Spurs boss told Gary Lineker on BBC’s Football Focus.<\/p>\n
‘Are you still a Liverpool fan?’ Lineker questioned, to which Postecoglou jokingly replied: ‘Well, I’ve taken the posters down mate, last week!’<\/p>\n

Postecoglou added: ‘Liverpool in the ’70s, when they played the whole possession stuff and really played football, it was a bit different, and it always attracted me down that road.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘That obviously influenced me.’<\/p>\n
Postecoglou took an unconventional route to becoming a Premier League manager. Prior to his move to Tottenham, he had spells with the likes of Brisbane Roar, Melbourne Victory, the Australian national side and Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He led Celtic to back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles before earning a move to the capital with Tottenham.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
An impressive start to the season has seen his side pick up 13 points from a possible 15 ahead of their north London derby showdown with Arsenal on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of the meeting at the Emirates, he said:\u00a0‘In terms of the way we play, we’re not changing, mate. We’ll go out and scare the life out of them.’<\/p>\n
‘If we shy away from it, don’t play our football, manage to get a draw and survive the experience, what have we really learned? Apart from surviving 90 minutes of football? Nothing. We’re going to go out and play our football.’<\/p>\n
