Ange Postecoglou has found an admirer in music royalty Robbie Williams.

Following successful stints in the A-League, Japan and Scotland, the Australian coach has started his tenure at Tottenham with a bang.

After toppling Manchester United last weekend, Postecoglou’s Spurs cruised towards a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday, putting Tottenham at third spot on Premier League ladder with seven points from a possible nine.

Postecoglou has won over local fans with tantalising new style of play, while the English press is lapping up his sharp sense of humour — and now Williams has hopped on the bandwagon.

On Monday morning AEST, the 49-year-old shared a clip of himself belting out a rendition of his iconic 1997 anthem “Angels” with some updated lyrics in honour of Postecoglou.

“And through it all, we’re playing the way we want to.

“Big Ange Postecoglou, whether I’m right or wrong.

“You can keep your Pochettino, Conte and Mourinho, and even Christian Gross.

“Cause everywhere we go, I’m loving Big Ange instead.”

Williams ended the video, which you can watch in the player above, by muttering: “I guess I’m a Spurs fan now then.”

The cover version of the song has been sung widely by Spurs fans since Postecoglou took over as Tottenham coach this season.

Tottenham will next face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday, with kick-off scheduled for 4.45am AEST.
