Ange Postecoglou has scooped the Manager of the Month with 10 points from his first four Premier League games but did not need reminding Nuno Espirto Santo lost his job within 52 days of claiming the same prize at the start of his Tottenham tenure.
'I'm well aware after 28 years of the pitfalls of management, trust me,' said Postecoglou. 'Don't think I'm floating along thinking everything's going to be smooth.'
He dismissed the idea he was basking in a honeymoon period, free from pressure or criticism.
'I don't know what your honeymoon was like but mine didn't have me losing the greatest player in the history of this football club,' he said.
