Tottenham pre-season schedule in full as first Ange Postecoglou Spurs press conference date set

Tottenham's summer schedule is in place as Ange Postecoglou takes charge of his first pre-season since replacing Antonio Conte as Spurs boss

It will not be long at all until Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham team take to the pitch for the very first time following his appointment as head coach. Signing a four-year deal in north London at the beginning of last month, the Australian is now working with a chunk of his players at Hotspur Way.

A summer of change at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the start of a new era, it promises to be a very interesting summer for all concerned. So what exactly does Tottenham's pre-season schedule look like? football.london takes a look below.

Players such as Tanguy Ndombele, Sergio Reguilon and Djed Spence were present after their respective loan spells away from the club last season, with Rodrigo Bentancur putting in the work as he edges back to fitness from the ACL injury he sustained at the beginning of February.

Not all players are back for the start of pre-season training at Hotspur Way at present due to the international football that was played in the middle of June. As players are allowed contractually to have 21 consecutive days of rest after their final matches they were involved in, some could start returning from July 9, with most expected on July 12.

The likes of Harry Kane, Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min and Richarlison are just some of the squad who represented their respective nation last month.

Topics will include his first week in the Spurs hotseat, the club's transfer activity so far, strengthening in defence and Kane's future.

Following a good period working under Postecoglou at Hotspur Way, the squad will jet off to Perth on July 14 ahead of their first pre-season friendly. As ever, the summer tour will give a handful of youngsters the chance to make their case to the boss, with Troy Parrott, Dane Scarlett and Alfie Devine just some of those involved in training so far.

Tottenham's first pre-season game of the summer takes place at Optus Stadium, Perth, on July 18. West Ham are Spurs' opponents and it promises to be a good test for Postecoglou and his players.

The game will give Tottenham fans their first opportunity to see a Postecoglou team in action as the former Celtic boss will be busy implementing his own philosophy on the players at Hotspur Way ahead of the game. Very likely to operate in his preferred 4-3-3 setup, the head coach's team selection could well throw up a few hints over his plans for the future.

Tottenham will not be in Australia for too long as their next pre-season game is in Bangkok as they face Leicester City. The encounter will see players reunited following the transfer deals between the clubs so far this summer.

Singapore National Stadium is the location for Tottenham's third friendly of the summer as they take on Roma. A game which sees Jose Mourinho come up against his former club, the sides actually met one year ago with the Italians coming out on top with a 1-0 win in Israel.

It will be another tough challenge for Postecoglou's side and a good opportunity for the head coach to see exactly where his side are at.

After returning home from Singapore, Tottenham's final friendly of the summer comes at the beginning of August when they host Shakhtar Donetsk. As the Lilywhites are not at home on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, it will give Postecoglou his first chance to take charge of a match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and get used to his new surroundings.

Once Tottenham's pre-season games are done and dusted, they will have a full week on the training ground to prepare for their Premier League opener away at Brentford. Ample time for Postecoglou and his coaching staff to ensure the players are in the best possible place to attack the new campaign, all will be working extremely hard and counting down the days until Postecoglou's Spurs team kick off the season across the capital at the Gtech Community Stadium.
