Ange Postecoglou has brushed aside reports linking him with a possible move to Liverpool as a replacement for outgoing Jurgen Klopp.

Postecoglou insisted during the pre-match presser ahead of his side's game against Wolverhampton Wanderers that he doesn't want to say anything about those rumors.

The Australian was appointed manager of Spurs on July 1, 2023, and he has been impressive in his handling of the club.

Tottenham Hotspur had an electric start to the campaign, with the team going on an 11-match unbeaten run and their form in the opening phase of the season can be attributed to Ange Postecoglou's tactical brilliance.

After his side was plagued by injury issues, they began to experience a rocky patch, which saw them go on a run of 5 matches without a victory.

However, Postecoglou has steadied Spurs ship and his sublime managerial start to English football has caught the eye of many across the world.

Liverpool are said to be one of those clubs interested in his services due to the imminent departure of German tactician Jurgen Klopp.

It was revealed in January that Klopp would exit Merseyside at the end of the season, citing energy levels as a reason for him to call time on his managerial spell with the Reds.

Given the reality, Liverpool have reportedly shortlisted several candidates that might take over the helm when Jurgen Klopp exits the team at the expiration of the campaign.

Xabi Alonso, Steven Gerrard, Julian Nagelsmann, Roberto De Zerbi, and Ange Postecoglou are said to be notable names on the shortlist, with the Reds apparently in search of a manager who can ensure continuity in their style of play.

Anyway, speaking regarding the links to Liverpool, Postecoglou said: “I don’t want to say anything about that because I don’t think that’s ever going to enter my brain space for what are my priorities in life and profession”

“If it’s just people throwing up names, who cares?”.

The 58-year-old has managed several clubs in his career, including; Melbourne Victory, Brisbane Roar, and the Australia national team.

In European football, Tottenham Hotspur is the second team he is managing, having led Scottish giants to the treble - Premiership, League Cup and FA Cup last season.

Ange Postecoglou has taken charge of 27 matches as Spurs manager, winning 15 games, drawing 5, and losing 7.

His Tottenham Hotspur side have played a rich blend of attacking football this campaign, scoring goals with reckless abandon.

Anyway, Tottenham Hotspur return to action on Saturday, February 17, 2024, facing Wolverhampton Wanderers, in a Matchday 25 Premier League action.

Spurs currently sit 4th on the English Premier League table, with 47 points from 24 league matches.

It will be interesting to see how the season ends up for Ange Postecoglou and if he will remain with Tottenham Hotspur in the coming campaign.

The 58-year-old's current deal with the Lillywhites runs until June 30, 2027, and he will be looking to reach magnificent heights with the North London club.
