Ange Postecoglou reckons he has no issue with recent comments made by former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino and says continued speculation over his own future would not "rock" his world.

Current US national team manager Pochettino, who enjoyed a successful five-year spell as Spurs coach before his 2019 departure, conducted a number of interviews in March in which he expressed his desire to one day come back to the north London club.

It was put to Postecoglou that the timing was disrespectful given Tottenham's domestic struggles and the scrutiny on the Australian with the Europa League his last opportunity to salvage a poor campaign.

"I mean Mauricio, if he wants to come back one day, I hope it happens for him," said Postecoglou on Wednesday on the eve of the match at Chelsea.

"We all have dreams and aspirations.

"If that's what he wants, then...you're suggesting he is trying to put pressure on me?

"Well, I don't feel disrespected. I think if you ask Mauricio that question directly, you would get a pretty clear answer as to what his intent was.

"Again, nothing for me to be consumed with. I'm more focused on making sure we try to win tomorrow night."

A 2-0 loss at Fulham on March 16 was Tottenham's 15th defeat of the Premier League campaign and sparked an international break where discourse over Postecoglou's future was rife.

But the 59-year-old was adamant: "I don't deal with it, mate.

"I know what my responsibilities are and I am sure if the club decide to go in a different direction, there are some outstanding candidates for it.

"And you know what, maybe someone will think, 'Ange Postecoglou is not a bad coach, maybe we'll take a punt on him'.

"Mate, it doesn't rock my world. It doesn't consume me. I am here, I am passionate about what we're doing.

"I was brought in to change the way the club plays, rejuvenate the squad and bring success. I am focused on that and that is what I'll keep doing."

While Spurs' primary focus during the next two weeks is a Europa League quarter-final with Eintracht Frankfurt, Postecoglou must navigate league fixtures with Chelsea, Southampton and Wolves in the same period.

He acknowledged a tough away trip to Stamford Bridge - where Tottenham have only won once since a victory in 1990 - could act as a dress rehearsal for their last-eight second leg in Germany on April 17.

"We need to try to build some momentum into the rest of the season and finish in a positive way. Going to Chelsea, we know we have to play well to beat them," said Postecoglou.

Meanwhile, Spurs academy graduate Callum Olusesi, 18, has signed a new four-year deal with the club.
