Darren Bent has had his say on Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou winning the London Manager of the Year award ahead of West Ham United boss David Moyes.

The London Football Awards took place earlier this week and Postecoglou winning the award was a surprise. Bent and Andy Goldstein are both adamant that Moyes should’ve won it over the Tottenham man.

David Moyes ‘must be laughing’ at Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou winning MOTY award

Tottenham appointed Ange Postecoglou as their manager before the start of this season.

The Australian has done a remarkable job at Spurs. He has completely transformed the club and has turned them into one of the most exciting sides to watch in the Premier League.

Tottenham fans are delighted that Postecoglou was named the Manager of the Year at the London Football Awards this week, but did he really deserve it?

Darren Bent doesn’t think so. He feels David Moyes should’ve been the man to lift the award.

The former Tottenham striker, speaking about Postecoglou, said on talkSPORT: “Congratulations, (but) he didn’t deserve it. For me, Arteta should be ahead of him. But, if I was in charge of the awards, I would’ve given it to David Moyes.

“I would’ve gone for David Moyes. The guy brought them a European trophy, the first one in… I can’t even tell you the last time they won one. He has delivered that and he doesn’t even get a shout.

“But yet, the captain of the team that he manages (Declan Rice), wins the Player’s Player of the Year. How has David Moyes not won that? Come on!

“David Moyes, even he must be laughing at this.”

Andy Goldstein replied: “Yeah, it is nuts!”

David Moyes deserved the Manager of the Year award

Tottenham fans won’t like it, but it has to be said that David Moyes deserved the award over Ange Postecoglou.

The West Ham boss won the UEFA Conference League last season. His side, despite all the calls to sack him, are currently just eight points behind fifth-placed Spurs.

Moyes is definitely not the most popular man at the London Stadium right now, but we feel he has done more at West Ham than Postecoglou has at Spurs.

This isn’t a dig at the Australian, nobody can deny he has done a terrific job since joining Tottenham. However, giving him the Manager of the Year award is just a little premature in our opinion.
