Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou the ‘right man’, says Dejan Kulusevski before Europa League game

Tottenham winger Dejan Kulusevski says manager Ange Postecoglou retains the backing of the players and is the “right man” for the club.

Kulusevski, 24, has been Spurs’ outstanding performer this season, scoring nine times in 36 appearances.

Australian boss Postecoglou has come under pressure following a dismal run of results, with Spurs 15th in the Premier League.

He said after a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on Sunday that he was unsure over his future at the club.

But the former Celtic boss has made the case that Tottenham could finish the season with “something special” given they remain in three cup competitions: the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League.

“I agree with him,” Kulusevski said. “I think we can do big things in these last four months.”

Asked why he considers Postecoglou the man for the job, Kulusevski said: “Because we had games where we showed perfect football and football not many teams can play in the world.

“We played beautiful against [Manchester] United, [Manchester] City away 4-0 and we’re behind him.”

Tottenham were 3-0 winners at Old Trafford against Manchester United in September, and they followed that league win with a 4-3 victory over the Red Devils in the EFL Cup in December.

Kulusevski considers such days still relevant for Postecoglou as he said: “I have to fight for him because I believe in that football too. He is the right man.”

Spurs have won just one of their last 11 Premier League matches, leaving them eight points above the relegation zone.

They face Swedish side IF Elfsborg in their final Europa League group fixture on Thursday, when a win would guarantee a place in the knockout stages.
