Tottenham boss Postecoglou: Why I don't need a set-piece coach

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says he doesn't need a specialist set-piece coach.

Postecoglou is happy with the staff he has.

He said, "I've never had a specific set-piece coach. I've always had someone who's responsible for that. I always think it's better if that's somebody who's a part of the coaching staff because then that's an extension of how we play our football.

"I don't separate set-pieces from everything else we do, in terms of the team we want to be. It all hopefully links in.

"Here we've split the roles between Mile [Jedinak] and Ryan Mason in terms of attacking and defensive set-pieces and they put a lot of work into it with the analysis staff. I'm sure every club does. Some have gone down the specialised route which I understand. It's just it's not how I work. I always try to create a collective environment for everything we do, so that nothing is separated. I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing in specialists for one particular area. Just for the way I work more than anything else."
