'Couldn't care less': Ange Postecoglou in defiant message to Spurs critics

Former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou 'couldn't care less' what others think of him. 

The Australian is currently in charge of Tottenham Hotspur, whose last hopes of winning silverware this season go on the line tonight. 

They face Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final after a 1-1 draw in North London last week.

The match has been billed as critical for Postecoglou, who stated at the beginning of this campaign that he 'always' wins things in his second season at clubs. 

Their hopes of securing silverware this term lie on tonight's match in Germany. 

Asked about those who criticise him and his methods pre-match, Postecoglou remained typically unfeigned: "I really couldn't care less," he said [BBC]. 

"I don't define my career and me as a person on what people think about me. I never have and I never will. 

"If you don't think I'm a good coach today, you won't think I'm a good coach tomorrow. Even if we win, one game doesn't make a difference. 

"I couldn't care less. I really couldn't care less."

Postecoglou enjoyed a trophy-laden spell at Celtic in which he won five pieces of domestic silverware out of a possible six in his two years in Glasgow. 

He impressively rebuilt the team following the catastrophic 2020/21 campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The 59-year-old then got his move south, although his future at Spurs could well depend on events in Frankfurt tonight.
