Guglielmo Vicario gives his honest assessment on Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham reach Europa League semi-finals

Guglielmo Vicario has shared his honest thoughts on how he feels about Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham Hotspur reached the final four of the Europa League.

Ange Postecoglou helped Tottenham Hotspur reach just their second semi-final of a European competition in the last 40 years.

Dominic Solanke’s first-half penalty was the winning moment in the tie as the North London club produced a coming-of-age performance to see the win over the line.

Guglielmo Vicario ‘really believes’ in Ange Postecoglou

Guglielmo Vicario insists that he still ‘really believes’ in Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou in the aftermath of their win over Frankfurt.

The Italian was so proud of the team’s performance against the Bundesliga club, and he is confident Spurs can achieve something special this season if they replicate that performance going forward.

Vicario told SpursOfficial: “I really believe in this football club, I really believe in this manager, in the way we want to play. If we suffer the way we did tonight, we can achieve big, big things.”

Coming from such a big voice in the dressing room, it is a strong indication as to why the North London club have stuck behind Ange Postecoglou despite calls for him to be sacked.

Ange Postecoglou still has support of Tottenham dressing room

Alasdair Gold believes that Postecoglou still has the full support of the Spurs dressing room because of the performance his team produced against Frankfurt.

The Tottenham journalist insists you do not get such a level of commitment from your players in the way Postecoglou did against Frankfurt if they are not in full support of him.

Gold said on YouTube: “What was important for me is that the players showed on the night that they’re still fully behind Postecoglou. Van de Ven said that in the press conference ahead of the game, he was very strong on that, and you could see that.

“Look, such a disciplined and brave display does not come from a team that is abandoning their manager, it just doesn’t. I know every time there is a defeat, everyone quickly says, ‘He’s lost the dressing room, the players aren’t playing for him,’ you do not get what happened last night if the manager does not have the support of the dressing room.”
