Report: What will Montgomery and Raimundo bring to Spurs? – Ange’s two new coaches

Tottenham Hotspur will have two new coaches next season, with Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo joining Ange Postecoglou’s team. Here’s what we can expect from the pair, as well as Postecoglou’s praise for Montgomery in the past.

Who are Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo?

With the departure of former Senior Assistant Coach, Chris Davies, this summer, Matt Wells has earned a promotion. Alongside this, both Montgomery and Raimundo are stepping in as general Assistant Coaches, and it is thought the duo will bring discipline and a hardworking energy to the set-up at Spurs.

That’s according to an article from Football.London, which touches on Montgomery and Raimundo’s previous work at Central Coast Mariners and Hibernian.

Apparently, Postecoglou will see the pair as “like-minded coaches” who match the work rate he requires from everyone involved in training sessions at the club. Postecoglou is keen to “keep the players on their toes” during the sessions, and the new coaches will have no trouble doing this.

What do Montgomery and Raimundo offer Spurs?

When he first took over at Spurs last summer, Postecoglou spoke highly of Montgomery for his achievements in Australia.

He said: “Nick has done brilliantly in Australia. He did a fantastic job at a club that it is fair to say in Australia is not considered one of the big ones and won the whole thing last year. He has done it in a great way where he has developed young players and great he gets the opportunity.”

Interestingly, Raimundo is a former military man, who also had the same mentor as Jose Mourinho, Professor Manuel Sergio, who believed psychology was just as important as actual physical coaching.

It sounds like we’ve got a pair of coaches here who tie in perfectly with Postecoglou’s philosophy, and they will really get the players working in training.

They will likely have a great connection with Postecoglou, too, which is always important.
