Tottenham Hotspur coach Ange Postecoglou hit back at suggestions that Harry Kane left Spurs only to chase hardware — and that Kane’s Bayern Munich tenure will go down as “failure” without trophies.
“I don’t think that’s fair. I’m not going to speak for Harry, for God’s sake. But I don’t think that’s the only reason he left,” Postecoglou said (as captured by Goal, via @iMiaSanMia). “I think he was pretty clear that he wanted a different experience and I think there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s been my whole career. He was at one club for a very long time. He was at a point where he either makes a decision to stay and become a one-club man, which is fair enough, or he can experience something different as a footballer, maybe as a person.
“These are questions for him. But I don’t get this notion that he just moved just to win things. I don’t think if he had stayed here he didn’t think he was going to win things. I just think he wanted a different experience and he’s getting that.”
So far, though, Kane has once again found himself at a side falling short of winning the league — improbably, one might say, for Bayern Munich.
But don’t count the Bavarians out in the Champions League this season just yet.
