Romano confirmed Ange Postecoglou replacement as he’s going to be sack this week
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly exploring potential replacements for manager Ange Postecoglou, with the Australian boss under growing pressure as his second season with the club falters. According to various reports, Tottenham’s hierarchy is already considering their options, as Postecoglou finds himself in “major trouble” following a series of poor results.
Currently languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, Spurs have endured a dreadful run of form, with just 16 matches left to play. Their latest setback came against Everton, where they found themselves trailing 3-0 at halftime after goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye, and an own goal by Archie Gray. While Tottenham mounted a slight comeback in the second half, with goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison pulling them to 3-2, their efforts were met with boos from the away supporters at the final whistle.
Despite the loss, Postecoglou has faced significant challenges this season, with key players like goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, defender Cristian Romero, and summer signing Micky van de Ven all sidelined for extended periods. However, their absence has not been enough to excuse Tottenham’s ongoing struggles, as the team is yet to win in their last six Premier League matches. According to TEAMtalk, the club is growing increasingly concerned about Postecoglou’s future, with sources suggesting that the manager is “now in major trouble” of losing his job.
In anticipation of a potential managerial change, Tottenham is said to have compiled a shortlist of three candidates. Former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic, who is reportedly “appreciated” by the club, has emerged as a leading contender. Additionally, Andoni Iraola, currently in charge of Bournemouth, and Thomas Frank, the highly regarded Brentford manager, are also being considered for the role.
While transfer expert Fabrizio Romano emphasized that there were no significant updates on Postecoglou’s status as of Monday, he did hint that the manager might be given some time to turn things around, particularly due to the numerous injuries that have hindered Tottenham’s progress this season. Romano noted in his GiveMeSport newsletter that the club has taken into account the impact of these injury woes on Postecoglou’s ability to implement his tactics, and this could influence their decision-making in the coming days.
However, the pressure is mounting on Postecoglou, with some pundits suggesting that his time at Tottenham may be running out. Arsenal legend Perry Groves voiced his concerns on talkSPORT, stating that this could be “Postecoglou’s last week” at Spurs. Groves also criticized Tottenham’s performance, drawing parallels to David Moyes’ more defensive, long-ball style of play, which he felt had become evident in their recent displays.
As Tottenham’s season continues to unravel, it remains to be seen whether Postecoglou will be given more time to prove his worth or if the club will make a change at the top in an effort to salvage their campaign.
