'Ange Postecoglou really doesn’t do any tactical work' - Eric Dier opens up on differences between current Tottenham boss and Antonio Conte

Dier started regularly at Spurs during Antonio Conte's stint between November 2021 and March 2023 but lost his place in the team after Ange Postecoglou took charge of the club ahead of the 2023-24 season. After appearing in just four Premier League games under Postecoglou, the English defender left for Bayern Munich on loan in the January transfer window.

Now the Bayern star has opened up about the key differences between Conte's and Postecoglou's style of management as he pointed out that the Italian coach focused more on the tactical part of the game during training sessions, unlike the current head coach who concentrates solely on implementing his style of football.

Speaking to Sky Bet, the 30-year-old said, "No, interestingly [Postecoglou] really doesn’t do any tactical work, what he does is, every single training drill from Monday to Friday is drawn up to represent the way that he wants to play.

"Conte, I could do it blind, but that was a lot of tactical work Monday to Friday, a lot of ten versus zero, walkthroughs – you were so well drilled, it would be ingrained in you."

The England international will next be seen in action for the Bundesliga giants on Tuesday against his former north London rivals Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final fixture at the Emirates Stadium.
