Mile Jedinak explains how he helps Ange Postecoglou at key moment in Tottenham matches

Mile Jedinak has explained his role at Tottenham Hotspur and how his job involves him helping Ange Postecoglou at half-time during matches.

The former Australia international was brought in by Postecoglou from Aston Villa to help with the young Spurs squad in what is the 39-year-old's first coaching job with a first team. Jedinak can often be spotted during matches up in the stands with the club's analysts and he explained his role on a matchday while out in Melbourne promoting the post-season friendly match against Newcastle United on May 22 in the city.

Tottenham have improved greatly in the second half of many of their matches this season, turning games around and scoring in second halves and Jedinak has played a part in the message delivered by Postecoglou at half-time as well as speaking to individual players.

«We've obviously got limited spots on the bench and the other coaches have got those positions, which for me is not a real big issue,» he told Optus Sport. «I'm sitting up with the analyst team and with them getting the clips ready for what's going to happen at half-time to help support Ange's message.

»On the back of that you go to speak to individuals on any observations you may have made during the game. That may help support them. I'm enjoying that. It's another side that you see different roles and for me I'm enjoying every single moment of it."

Jedinak was Postecoglou's captain with the Australian national side when the Spurs boss was in charge of his country, the pair winning the 2015 Asian Cup together on home soil. The young coach believes he can see the familiar processes being put into place at Tottenham that have existed wherever Postecoglou has gone before.
