The future of Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham’s manager is shrouded in uncertainty, with reports suggesting that a decision on his fate is expected to be made as early as next week. The Australian coach, who took charge of Spurs last season, has seen his position come under intense scrutiny in recent months.
Postecoglou’s debut season was a mixed affair. While he guided Spurs to an impressive fifth-place finish in the Premier League, expectations were high for his second season. However, the team regressed significantly, languishing in 17th place—a stark contrast to the heights of the previous campaign.
Despite their domestic struggles, Tottenham found solace in European competition, clinching the Europa League trophy. This achievement, though, has done little to alleviate the pressure on Postecoglou. Rumors have been swirling about his job security for months, and recent reports suggest that the odds of him remaining in the dugout are alarmingly slim.
According to one source, the chances of Postecoglou staying at Tottenham are less than 5%. The Telegraph has now corroborated these claims, stating that a final decision on his future will be made next week. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who has been abroad recently, is expected to return to deliberate on the manager’s future.
Levy’s absence coincided with reports that the club has been actively scouting potential replacements. Postecoglou’s position is said to be under “extreme risk,” with some within the club reportedly anticipating his departure. The situation is further complicated by the impending “significant changes in key departments” at Tottenham, hinting at a broader restructuring within the club.
Among the names floated as potential successors are Premier League managers Thomas Frank (Brentford), Marco Silva (Fulham), Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth), and Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace). Each of these coaches has outperformed Postecoglou in the league this season, though Iraola and Glasner are reportedly expected to remain with their current clubs—Iraola due to Bournemouth’s commitment to continuity, and Glasner after leading Palace to FA Cup glory.
Meanwhile, Ryan Mason, who previously served as Tottenham’s caretaker manager, is unlikely to be considered for the role again. The former Spurs midfielder is reportedly finalizing a move to West Bromwich Albion, where he is poised to take on his first full-time managerial position.
As the summer transfer window looms, it’s clear that Tottenham is on the brink of significant upheaval. Whether Postecoglou remains at the helm or departs, the coming weeks are sure to reshape the club’s trajectory. Fans and pundits alike await the decision with bated breath, knowing it could have far-reaching implications for the North London side.
