Under-fire Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou’s future is not in danger at the club despite some underwhelming results lately.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are not planning to sack Ange Postecoglou despite the Australian coming under tremendous pressure recently. The club will continue to support the first team manager as they firmly believe he has the tools to bring the team to a reasonable level and compete with the other challengers.
Tottenham continue to bemuse their fans with surprising results that have been baffling at best. After a mixed start to the season, it’s become very clear that Spurs cannot be trusted to deliver in games they are expected to win big.
During the current campaign, Spurs have managed to beat Manchester United and Aston Villa but also suffered losses to Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town. The latter came in last weekend on home soil and delivered a clinical performance to down Spurs’ hopes of a comeback.
In fact, the Palace and Ipswich defeats have been significant because those two teams have not won in any of their other league games, barring Spurs. Losing at home to Ipswich saw the fans booing the team at full-time, which may have brought the pressure back on Postecoglou.
Despite suggestions that Postecoglou could be replaced imminently, there’s a wider question about who might replace the Australian. The 53-year-old has been a big presence in their dugout, and he has the team playing exciting, attacking football after some strenuous tenures under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
Postecoglou is safe in his position
Spurs maintain their faith in Postecoglou and will not be looking to sack the Australian anytime soon. In fact, the most recent transfer window was a significant indication of how much they value the manager, as some of the signings were reportedly designed for him to build a big project at the club.
While they are clear in their stance at the moment, this could certainly change in the future if Postecoglou fails to achieve the season’s targets. For instance, Spurs will be targeting a return to the Champions League, and should Tottenham fail to achieve a top-four finish and no trophies, the Australian’s time at the club could come to a swift end next summer.
