Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is changing the culture of the Premier League club.

That is the view of academy director Simon Davies, who recently heaped praise on Postecoglou.

The Australian is a champion of giving young players a chance and wants to instill that ethos at Spurs.

"I think it's probably even underestimated what he's done," said Davies on the latest episode of the club's 'Off The Shelf' podcast.

"I see day-to-day in terms of...firstly is he a top coach and a top manager? Yes. But more importantly I kind of see, and you've asked me questions about [Sir Alex] Ferguson back in the day, Ferguson changed the culture and I do believe that Ange is doing exactly that.

"He's got class about him, he knows what he wants. We were talking about that clarity of the way he wants to play, it's not stubborn but it's a huge belief in the way he wants to do something and he's had success doing it in the past.

"Everyone is talking about the impact he's made, and that's probably external, and it deserves the merit that it's received for sure. But internally you see what an impact he is having around the club and, for me, that is probably more impressive. Everyone is raising the bar and he has had that impact at the football club."
