Postecoglou plays down England speculation

Ange Postecoglou says he has “no idea” about speculation linking him with the England manager’s job.

The Tottenham boss, 58, has been touted as a possible successor to Gareth Southgate.

“I’ve got no idea, I’ve been preparing for a game,” Postecoglou told BBC Scotland when asked about the issue after Tottenham beat Hearts 5-1 in a pre-season friendly.

“I’m the Tottenham manager. That’s where I stand.”

Former Celtic boss Postecoglou took over at Tottenham at the start of last season and guided them to a fifth-placed finish in the Premier League in his first campaign in charge.
