Tottenham Hotspur continue to face mounting pressure as their Premier League struggles persist, with manager Ange Postecoglou’s future increasingly uncertain. After a 4-2 defeat to Wolves left Spurs 15th in the table, questions loom large over whether Postecoglou will remain in charge beyond this season.
Despite injuries hampering the squad, the team has shown little improvement recently, intensifying scrutiny on the Australian boss. While Tottenham’s league campaign has been disappointing, their Europa League run offers a lifeline; a victory in the competition would secure Champions League qualification and somewhat salvage the season.
Postecoglou, speaking after the Wolves loss, acknowledged the team’s errors but defended his players, emphasizing that mistakes were individual rather than tactical. He expressed frustration but remained focused on recovery and upcoming fixtures.
Reports suggest Tottenham are unlikely to replace Postecoglou before the season’s end, as finding a permanent manager mid-campaign is challenging. However, club chairman Daniel Levy is said to have already decided to part ways with Postecoglou, with the timing of the announcement still under consideration. The club is reportedly exploring potential successors, with AFC Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, Fulham’s Marco Silva, and Brentford’s Thomas Frank among the leading candidates, all noted for overachieving with limited resources.
Postecoglou himself has admitted the season has been difficult, citing an overly aggressive start and underestimating the demands of European competition combined with a significant injury crisis. He described the campaign as “disheartening” and suggested that the team has been trying to catch up throughout.
Ultimately, Tottenham’s fate—and Postecoglou’s future—may hinge on their performance in the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt. Regardless of the outcome, a managerial change appears imminent, with the club preparing for a new direction in the summer.
