Tottenham’s New Manager Postecoglu Aiming to Sign Manchester United’s Maguire

[OSEN=이인환 기자] catastrophe and calamity.

England’s ‘Daily Mail’ reporter Sami Mokbel reported on the 7th (Korean time), “Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglu is aiming to sign Manchester United’s Harry Maguire as his first signing.”

Tottenham announced on the official website on the 6th that Postecoglu joined on July 1st. He signed a 4-year contract. He is the first Australian manager in the English Premier League.

Postecoglu has been in charge of Celtic since 2021. As soon as he took over, he won the Scottish Premier League and Scottish League Cup. This season, he won the League, Scottish League Cup and Scottish Football Association (FA) Cup, achieving the feat of ‘three national crowns’.

Postecoglu also has a career as a ‘national team manager’. He also had good grades. He led the Australian national team to victory in the 2015 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. At that time, in the final, they defeated Korea, led by coach Uli Stielike, to rise to the top.
Coach Postecoglu is also the teacher who brought Oh Hyun-kyu to Celtic through the transfer market last winter. Following Oh Hyun-kyu, Son Heung-min will be coached.

The problem is the evaluation of coach Postecoglu. This is because former Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann and former Tottenham coach Arje Slot, both wanted by local fans of Tottenham, were canceled.

Postecoglu has been in charge of rebuilding the team since joining Tottenham. The problem is that the first recruitment pick for coach Postecoglu, who was not welcomed by fans, is also uneasy.

The target is Maguire, a defensive player who lost his place in Manchester United. Not only was he beaten by the combination of Rafael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, but he also had to sit on the bench behind Viktor Lindelof.

In the end, the situation where manager Eric ten Haag made a decision and tried to release Maguire. Mokbel said, “Director Postecoglu has taken full power since he took over from Tottenham,” and said, “Maguire is the No. 1 option to reinforce the defender.”
