Tottenham could potentially sack Ange Postecoglou as soon as this week if the Australian fails to qualify for the Europa League semi-finals.
According to Football Insider, Ange Postecoglou is on the brink of losing his job at Tottenham, with the club ready to sack the Australian if the team fails in the Europa League. Spurs face Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany for their quarter-final second leg with the game poised at 1-1.
Tottenham are staring down at the prospect of playing only domestic football next season, which could have a significant effect on their finances. Daniel Levy will be wary of the consequences on their economics without continental football, which could directly affect their work in the transfer market.
At the weekend, Tottenham suffered a 17th loss in the Premier League which is more than half the games they have played, as they languish in 15th on the table. Luckily for them, the relegation battle is not on the cards, although they could finish as low as 17th in the standings, which will be catastrophic.
Tottenham have developed doubts about Ange Postecoglou’s future, with the Australian likely to have only one chance to save his job. That light at the end of the tunnel comes in the form of the Europa League, as Spurs gear up for the second leg of their quarterfinal tie against Eintracht Frankfurt this week, with the game poised after a 1-1 draw in north London last week.
Tottenham could potentially sack Postecoglou as early as this week if Spurs fails to qualify for the Europa League semi-finals. Winning the competition will guarantee Champions League football, and even then the Australian’s job is not secure, although going all the way to ending the trophy drought does give him a slight chance to keep his post.
Tottenham already looking for replacements
Tottenham are already linked with several names in the market to replace Postecoglou. Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a surprise return, while there are some names on their wishlist like Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth as well as Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner.
Spurs are also looking at markets outside of the Premier League, with links with Thiago Motta appearing of late. Either way, Daniel Levy has plenty of candidates to consider as Postecoglou’s replacement, as the 59-year-old could be on the brink of losing his post in North London, as the sacking could materialise as soon as this week depending on whether Tottenham make the Europa League semi-finals or not.
