Tottenham chiefs fear for Ange Postecoglou’s immediate future at the club amid links to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham chiefs are very much concerned about Ange Postecoglou’s future at the club amid links to Liverpool. The Australian features on a list of potential Jurgen Klopp replacements, as the suggestion points towards the Spurs boss potentially showing an interest in taking over.
Tottenham ‘concernerd’ about Ange Postecoglou
In light of Jurgen Klopp’s announcement to quit Liverpool in the summer, a host of names have seen their names connected to the German’s job. Liverpool would certainly eye a top manager to replace Klopp, as they could begin their search for that successor.
Xabi Alonso is considered the favourite to take over, although there’s a huge mention of Ange Postecoglou as another name on Liverpool’s list. The Australian took over at Tottenham in the summer and has transformed the club with his fluid playing style. He remains a popular figure among fans.
While the suggestions are that Postecoglou is happy at Spurs, club chiefs are ‘absolutely concerned following links to Liverpool. The Australian does not have a release clause in his contract that still has three years to run. Hence, there are chances for the Merseysiders to pounce on the opportunity and bring him to Anfield.
Tottenham chiefs are particularly concerned that should the club fail to make it back to the Champions League, they could see their manager leave, especially if Liverpool comes calling. For now, they are confident of keeping Postecoglou for the long-term future, although things could change quickly in football.
Liverpool’s search for a new manager
As things stand, the club have yet to actively search for a replacement, although it’s only a matter of time before they commence that hunt. Klopp will leave a huge void behind, as the club will want a top name to replace the German.
Alonso remains a priority target, as per many reports, while there are links to Postecoglou, Ruben Amorim and Roberto De Zerbi as other candidates. Things could accelerate rapidly in the search once the season ends, as the club may not seek to disrupt anything around the market, especially for their top targets.
