Tottenham Manager and Player Named Premier League Month’s Best
Tottenham’s ambitious actions this summer are paying off handsomely. The English Premier League (EPL) Secretariat recently announced on its official website that James Maddison and manager Angie Postekoglou have been selected as the Player and Manager of the Month for August.
Player of the Month: James Maddison
James Maddison, who joined Tottenham from Leicester City during the summer transfer window, has been awarded the prestigious Player of the Month accolade. This marks a significant achievement for Maddison, who had been nominated for the award four times while at Leicester City but never clinched it. With two goals and two assists in just five games this season, Maddison has proven his value to the team.
Manager of the Month: Angie Postekoglou
Angie Postekoglou, formerly with Celtic, took over as manager of Tottenham amidst high expectations. Given that he was the first manager from the Australian Premier League, concerns were raised regarding his lack of experience in major leagues. However, Postekoglou has proven his worth by steering Tottenham to an unbeaten run of three wins and one draw. His ability to fill the void left by the departure of Harry Kane, with players like Son Heung-min and Maddison, has propelled Tottenham to a commendable second-place position.
Positivity in the Locker Room
Coach Postekoglou has not only captivated fans with his astute management skills but also fostered unity within the team. Son Heung-min has been appointed captain, while Maddison and Cristian Romero have been named vice-captains to eliminate any potential disruptions in the locker room. Additionally, Postekoglou’s attacking approach has impressed, as he fearlessly selects bold players.
Furthermore, Coach Postekoglou has been gracious in sharing the credit for his success with his hardworking coaching staff, emphasizing their invaluable contributions to the team’s achievements.
A Rare Accomplishment
According to the Tottenham website, this marks the first time in six years that both a player and a club manager have received the Player of the Month and Manager awards simultaneously. The last instance occurred in April 2017 when Son Heung-min and Mauricio Pochettino of Chelsea won the respective awards. Notably, this was Son Heung-min’s second honor and Coach Pochettino’s third.
The impressive recognition bestowed upon both Maddison and Postekoglou undoubtedly highlights Tottenham’s remarkable progress this season, leaving fans eager for further success in the future.

[OSEN=강필주 기자] Tottenham’s efforts this summer seem to be yielding great results.
The English Premier League (EPL) Secretariat announced on the official website on the 15th (Korea time) that James Maddison and manager Angie Postekoglou have been selected as player and manager of the month (August).
Maddison joined Tottenham from Leicester City during the summer transfer window. And he won his first Player of the Month award. Maddison was nominated for this award four times previously at Leicester City, but has never been able to go on to win the award. Madison has recorded two goals and two assists in five games this season.
Coach Postekoglou left Celtic to take charge of Tottenham. There was great concern, as shown by the fact that he was the first manager of the Australian Premier League. Although he had success managing the Australian national team, Yokohama F. Marinos (Japan), and Celtic (Scotland), he did not have any major league experience.
But he was unlucky. Tottenham, led by coach Postekoglou, continues its unbeaten run (3 wins, 1 draw) by filling the gap left by the departure of Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) with key players such as Son Heung-min and Maddison. The achievement of placing Tottenham in second place was recognised.
The team managers also shone. Son Heung-min was appointed captain and Maddison and Cristian Romero were appointed vice-captains to eliminate turmoil in the locker room. At the same time, he shows his attacking football skills by picking bold players.
Coach Postekoglou showed a warm side by sharing his honor as a coach with the coaching staff who worked hard together.
According to the Tottenham website, this is the first time in six years that a player and a club manager have received the Player of the Month and Manager awards together. This is the first time since Son Heung-min and Mauricio Pochettino (Chelsea) won the player and manager awards together in April 2017. At the time, this was Son Heung-min’s second award and Coach Pochettino’s third. /letmeout@osen.co.kr
