In this very special, candid discussion, Optus Sport's Mark Schwarzer catches up with Tottenham manager and countryman Ange Postecoglou for an open and honest discussion about Spurs' late-season form slump, the effect it has on players and Ange as a manager - and how to get out of it.
Far from deflecting the obvious questions, Ange claims he is "hyper-alert" about the situation and the impact on the players and club, claiming he actually loves this part of the process: "this is my purpose".
Additionally, Ange details his excitement in bringing Tottenham back to his hometown of Melbourne and how special he expects it to be.
