Ange Postecoglou’s position as Tottenham Hotspur manager is reportedly under serious threat.

The former Celtic boss made a bright start to life in the Premier League, winning plaudits for his attacking football and direct style. He saw Spurs to a fifth-place finish, which was considered a success for the club.

But after early promise, his second season in charge hasn’t quite gone to plan, with Tottenham now out of both domestic cups and struggling to secure European qualification through the league.

Injuries have plagued Postecoglou’s side throughout the campaign, impacting consistency and performances. However, Spurs’ board appears to be weighing up their options as frustrations mount. According to reports from The Athletic, Tottenham have already identified their top candidates should they decide to part ways with the Australian at the end of the season.

While Spurs are still alive in the Europa League and could yet salvage the campaign with a strong finish, the pressure is clearly on. Postecoglou is in his second season at the helm, having joined the North London side from Celtic after delivering a domestic treble in Scotland.

With whispers of succession plans already underway, Postecoglou will be keen to rally his side in the closing months and prove he’s still the right man for the job.

The next few weeks could be decisive for the former Parkhead boss.
