There are indications that Tottenham may sack manager Ange Postecoglou despite winning the Europa League title at the expense of Manchester United a few days ago.
The report of Postecoglou’s removal trended over the weekend in England as Spurs dropped way below their standards.
In Postecoglou’s debut campaign, the Australian inspired a fifth-placed Premier League finish.
This term, they came 17th.
In any case, Postecoglou’s job has been under threat both before and since that trophy lift.
One of the latest reports, according to The Telegraph, suggested the chances of the manager staying at Tottenham were less than ‘five per cent’.
It’s now reported in The Telegraph that the final decision on Postecoglou’s future will come ‘next week’, with Daniel Levy having been out of the country in recent days.
The chairman has been ‘looking at other managers’ with Postecoglou’s position ‘under extreme risk’.
The report names Premier League managers Thomas Frank, Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola and Oliver Glasner as potential successors to Postecoglou if he’s to be sacked.
Each had better seasons in the Premier League than the Tottenham boss did, though Iraola is ‘expected to stay’ at Bournemouth, while Palace are ‘adamant’ that Glasner won’t be going anywhere after he engineered FA Cup glory.
