Postecoglou on Amorim: “He Needs Time to Succeed”
Spurs Boss Defends Man Utd’s Appointment
Ahead of their Premier League clash, Ruben Amorim spoke highly of Postecoglou, praising his work at Spurs. The Tottenham manager responded with support, emphasizing that success in football requires long-term planning:
“If Man Utd stuck with Ruben for the next two years, they’d see progress, absolutely, because that’s how long it takes.”
Postecoglou highlighted that United’s management scouted Amorim for his tactical approach, and they must now trust their own process:
“You don’t just make these appointments because you like the look of someone. You bring them in with a purpose.”
No Instant Fixes in Football
The Spurs boss dismissed the notion that any manager can achieve instant success without significant investment:
“If someone can show me a manager who has done it quicker without a huge budget, put it on my desk and I’ll follow that blueprint.”
Postecoglou’s comments come amid growing scrutiny over Amorim’s tenure at Manchester United. However, he believes the Portuguese coach must remain focused on his long-term objectives rather than external pressure.
“I’m sure he’s thinking: ‘I’m going to do what I was brought in to do.’ And that’s what he should do.”
Can Man Utd Show Patience?
Manchester United’s recent managerial instability has led to questions about their long-term vision. With Postecoglou advocating for patience, the question remains:
👉 Will United stick with Amorim and allow him to build, or will pressure force another change?
