Being a prime minister is easier than managing Tottenham Hotspur, says Ange Postecoglou

According to Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, managers in the Premier League face "an election every weekend and either get voted in or out," making the position more difficult than that of prime minister. Tenth in the Premier League, the London club hasn't taken home a trophy since 2008. Just hours after Wolves, another struggling team in the top tier, fired Gary O'Neil, Saints manager Russell Martin was fired following their 5-0 thumping of bottom-place Southampton last weekend.

Ange Postecoglou was asked on Wednesday if his position was more difficult than serving as prime minister. "This job is the hardest job now in any walk of life. You can say politics, but this is harder than any job," said Postecoglou on Wednesday. "The tenure and longevity of this role now means that you go in to it and very few are going to come out of it without any scars."

Following the loss to Bournemouth this month, Postecoglou decided to address irate fans in response to the criticism he has received for his team's lack of consistency in previous weeks. To advance to the English League Cup semi-finals, Postecoglou's Tottenham will play Manchester United on Thursday.  The Australian acknowledges that a loss will once more draw attention to himself. With a goal of taking home a trophy, Spurs, who haven't won one since 2008, start their Carabao Cup campaign. Ending the team's trophy drought, according to Postecoglou, may help fans' attitudes shift.

Ange Postecoglou clears air on Marcus Rashford joining Tottenham 

Being successful is only one aspect of the job for the Australian; another is negotiating the tremendous scrutiny that follows it. Postecoglou continues in his conviction that football management is one of the most difficult jobs in any industry as he works to stabilize Tottenham.

The England star Rashford declared his intention to leave the Old Trafford club on Tuesday after being benched by Ruben Amorim for Sunday's derby victory. For the match against Spurs, he has once again been left out of the United roster. When questioned about Rashford's remarks, the Australian manager responded, "No interest." Do not give a damn. Not interested; he plays for Manchester United.
