‘The HARDEST JOB in any walk of life!’ Postecoglou on pressures of managing at the highest level | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou has claimed the scrutiny which comes with managing at the highest level makes the job the ‘hardest in any walk of life.’

Two more Premier League bosses were unceremoniously relieved of their duties this week, with Southampton boss Russell Martin sacked within minutes of being thumped 5-0 by Postecoglou’s Tottenham.

Wolves parted ways with Gary O’Neil too following their poor start to the season and demands from fans for a change in leadership.

And the brutality of managing in the Premier League leaves Postecoglou in no doubt that the job is the hardest role to fulfil in society.

“Is there a good way of doing it?” Postecoglou questioned when asked about the latest round of sackings.

“We have lost all sort of modes of respect in our society where guys are in jobs and they are putting up names of who is going to replace them while they are still working.

“We have crossed that line now and it is pretty much open season? – you can do what you like and no-one is going to say anything about the fact that a man who, whether it is Russell or Gary, I am pretty sure 24/7 have done everything in their power to, it is not for the want of

trying.

“And the effect on their families, yet we are just so, as a society, we are so quick to just throw people in the trash and move on really quickly with no thought or any care around it.

“I don’t know if there is a good way or a best way of handling it. It is why I have left before it has ever happened to me, mate, jump out before that comes my way.

“We have crossed that line now and it is open slammer?

“I get People who say: Managers have always been sacked. I just think now it has gone beyond that now where we forget there is a human being involved.

“This job is the hardest job now in any walk of life. You can say politics but this is harder than any job.

“The tenure and longevity of this role now means that you go in to it and v few are going to come out of it without any scars.”
