The Shocking moment Fabrizio Romano Reveals the reason Tottenham will sack Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham Hotspur’s season has taken a disastrous turn, with their exits from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup at the hands of Liverpool and Aston Villa respectively. As a result, the pressure on Ange Postecoglou has reached fever pitch, with many questioning whether he is the right man to take Spurs forward.
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has been particularly vocal, insisting that Postecoglou should be sacked, as Spurs’ chances of ending their long trophy drought now seem remote. According to O’Hara, the current campaign has been nothing short of shambolic, with the team failing to make significant progress despite early-season promise.
Fans Turning Against Postecoglou?
What might be even more concerning for Postecoglou is the reaction of Tottenham’s own supporters. During the FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa, sections of the away end were heard chanting Mauricio Pochettino’s name, a clear sign that some of the club’s most devoted fans are beginning to lose faith in the Australian. Given that Pochettino remains a beloved figure at Spurs, having guided them to a Champions League final in 2019, his name being sung in frustration could indicate the beginning of serious discontent.
Spurs have a history of parting ways with managers even in less dire circumstances. Antonio Conte and José Mourinho were both dismissed despite keeping the club in contention for major honours, and while Postecoglou has been given more time than his predecessors, he will be aware that patience can run out quickly in North London.
Postecoglou Safe for Now—Even If Spurs Lose to Manchester United
Despite mounting criticism, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy appears to be standing by his manager for now. After Spurs suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, Postecoglou’s position remained intact. Even after a shock 2-1 loss to Leicester City—who had been on an eight-game losing streak—the club’s hierarchy continued to back him.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reinforced this stance, stating in his GiveMeSport newsletter that there are currently “no indications of imminent changes” at Spurs. While frustrations are growing, the club remains committed to seeing how things unfold over the next few matches before making any drastic decisions.
Key Players Returning—Can Spurs Turn It Around?
One of Postecoglou’s biggest hopes for salvaging the season lies in the return of key players. Injuries to crucial figures like Cristian Romero and James Maddison have severely hampered Spurs’ performances, and the manager has expressed confidence that once they are fully fit, the team will start winning games again.
Meanwhile, Postecoglou is eager to integrate new signings like Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso into his squad. He has been particularly impressed with Tel’s mentality, and the Frenchman’s goal against Aston Villa was a rare positive in an otherwise dismal period for Spurs.
Levy’s Patience Being Tested
While Levy has shown faith in Postecoglou so far, the situation could change quickly if results do not improve. The upcoming clash with Manchester United is a crucial test—not just for the manager, but for the entire squad. United are struggling themselves, meaning this is a match Spurs should at the very least avoid losing.
Should Spurs suffer yet another defeat, the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could turn incredibly toxic, further increasing the pressure on Postecoglou. While his job is safe for now, the Australian knows that patience in football is finite, and unless he can turn things around soon, calls for change could become impossible for Levy to ignore.
