New Tottenham boss Postecoglou: I want to win while entertaining

New Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says he wants to win by playing entertaining football.

The Australian joins Spurs from Celtic with a reputation of his teams producing attractive football.

"I like to win, that's the main thing, and I've done that wherever I've been, " he told the club's official website.

"The football is designed to bring success. Alongside that it's really important to me that there is an element of what I think most fans and players want to be associated with, and that's football that's exciting, that people talk about, not just the end result but also the manner in which you played your football.

“That's really important to me, a, because I think it's a way to be successful and also secondly, because it allows people to grab onto those things that are most special about our game, those memorable moments.

“People want to see their team scoring goals, being exciting, not conceding goals, being aggressive in their approach, all these kinds of things that everyone seeks in their own football team. That's what I want to try to provide. The basis of it will be that we want to be a team that wins things and, ultimately, entertains our fans.

“I'm very excited about the challenge ahead - an enormous football club, exciting league, I guess all the things you strive for in your professional career. It's great to be here and getting ready to work."
