Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham remains shrouded in uncertainty as the pressure mounts on the manager following a disappointing end to the season. Richard Jones, a prominent football analyst, has suggested that Daniel Levy’s silence speaks volumes, hinting that Postecoglou may not be in charge when the next campaign kicks off.
The season concluded with Tottenham finishing a dismal 17th in the Premier League after a crushing 4-1 defeat to Brighton on Sunday. While the Spurs board initially showed patience with Postecoglou, citing a crippling injury crisis that plagued the squad, the lack of improvement in results has led to growing discontent among fans.
Despite the struggles, Postecoglou did manage to deliver a silverware, ending Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought with a Europa League final victory over Manchester United in Bilbao. However, this triumph has done little to quell the speculation surrounding his future.
Reports have emerged that Levy is still deliberating whether to part ways with Postecoglou, with Brentford’s Thomas Frank reportedly being considered as a potential replacement. Richard Jones has been vocal in his belief that Tottenham should not repeat the mistakes made by other clubs, such as Manchester United’s handling of Erik ten Hag.
Jones stated, “Daniel Levy’s silence is telling. Ange won’t be in charge come August, and he shouldn’t be. I supported him for a long time, and he did well to deliver a trophy, but those who wanted him out were right. Levy won’t make the same error as others have with their managers.”
Meanwhile, former Manchester United winger Lee Sharpe has expressed confidence that Postecoglou could find another Premier League role if he is let go. Sharpe remarked, “Ange Postecoglou’s style and personality are a great fit for the Premier League. His fast-paced football is exciting to watch, and when Tottenham are at full strength, they can be a formidable opponent. Defensive issues have been a problem, but that’s largely due to injuries. I believe he has what it takes to succeed in this league.”
As the speculation continues, Tottenham fans are left wondering what the future holds for their club. Will Postecoglou be given the chance to build on his Europa League success, or will Levy opt for a new direction? Only time will tell.
