Tottenham’s season has been far from what they hoped for. Tottenham Standings in the league is as low as it gets with the team more closer to the relegation than the top four teams. Out of all the domestic competitions thus far, their only hope for silverware lies in the Europa League. The injuries have heavily impacted the squad and forced Ange to rely on the younger players, making it unfair to blame him entirely. However, according to TBR Football, it is added that Tottenham’s hierarchy is extremely concerned with the defeat, and has made it very clear to Postecoglou that this result will not pass unnoticed.
Although many voices have called for Postecoglou’s dismissal given Tottenham’s poor form this season and various pressures have mounted on him from outside, the club has mostly stood by him, understanding the troubles posed by their injury crisis. However, there are limits to that patience. After Europa League defeat by AZ Alkmaar, the pressure on Australian manager hiked up immensely.
Big Ange’s time is running out as he has been walking on thin ice
TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey has reported that Tottenham called Ange Postecoglou to say this week’s loss was unacceptable, the club being deeply concerned about the result.
Tottenham have supported Postecoglou all along and maintain that injuries were a big factor in the unsuccessful season, but the club’s hierarchy is considering possible managerial alternatives, feeling that a change may be needed.
Tottenham have remained firm in their stance that they will not make a managerial change this season, with club boss Daniel Levy reinforcing that message. However, TBR Football reports that Spurs’ 1-0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar on Thursday has sent shockwaves through the club.
While the board has not directly warned Ange Postecoglou that his job depends on winning the Europa League, they have made it clear that the latest loss was unacceptable. Sources indicate that Tottenham’s hierarchy is deeply concerned about both the result and the team’s performance.
Many believe Tottenham should have sacked Postecoglou months ago, especially when comparing his record to potential replacements.
Despite the club investing hundreds of millions into the squad, Postecoglou has not significantly outperformed managers like Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola, and Thomas Frank, who operate with far fewer resources at Fulham, Bournemouth, and Brentford respectively.
