Ange Postecoglou outlines a continuous plan to improve player care and performance while confirming significant changes in Tottenham’s medical department in the face of mounting injury concerns.
The medical difficulties of Tottenham are being examined.
Tottenham Hotspur’s medical department saw major changes last summer, including the departure of longtime employee Geoff Scott, who had served as head of medicine and sports science.
In an attempt to start a new era of better player care and injury management, the club replaced him with Nick Davies, who has experience with West Ham United and Wales. Tottenham’s injury situation has remained problematic in spite of these changes.
Key players have struggled with recurring fitness issues, and the squad has endured a relentless cycle of setbacks throughout Ange Postecoglou’s second season in charge.
Last week, Tottenham publicly posted job openings for three critical positions in their medical department, demonstrating their dedication to resolving their injury concerns.
A Head of Men’s Medical, a First Team Rehabilitation Physiotherapist, and a First Team Performance Rehabilitation Coach were among the roles advertised, indicating a clear desire to bolster the team in the background.
Ange Postecoglou discusses the need for a medical department overhaul.
Ange Postecoglou discussed these changes and the reasoning behind them in an interview with football.London. “That was always part of the plan,” the Tottenham Hotspur manager clarified. The head of our performance was replaced, and he made sure to take a close look at our operations before looking to add new members, which was always the plan at the time.
Assessing Tottenham’s injury situation and future prospects.
Although many have conjectured that Ange Postecoglou’s high-intensity football or plain bad luck are to blame for the injuries, the manager disputes this. Last month, Postecoglou acknowledged that bad luck alone cannot be held responsible for Tottenham’s increasing muscle injury rate.
He disclosed that the club is addressing the matter, and it seems that those actions are now underway.
