The Tottenham Hotspur head coach is speaking to journalists following the FA Cup fourth round exit at Aston Villa on Sunday evening

Two cup exits in a three-day span have left Tottenham staring at the prospect of another trophyless season and left manager Ange Postecoglou facing his biggest crisis in his time at the club.

Ange Postecoglou 's post-match press conferences have tended to be morose, low-energy affairs during Tottenham 's winter slump, the Spurs head coach often mumbling his way through short answers while staring dejectedly at the floor.

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of a player Celtic were also linked with. Ange Postecoglou has not enjoyed the same success at Tottenham Hotspur that he did at Celtic. That will not come as a surprise to anybody though if you know the history of the two clubs.

Ange Postecoglou insists Tottenham will be an “outstanding team” once injured stars return. The north Londoners lost 2-1 against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, their second cup exit in four days.
