The London side are looking likely to appoint Brentford boss Thomas Frank to replace the Australian, but what's next for him?
AceOdds have unveiled their odds on where the 59-year-old might find himself next, with a few surprising shouts.
Pressure is growing on Steve Clarke after a dismal Hampden performance against Iceland, with only an injury hampered friendly against Liechtenstein tonight to make up for it.
And the probability of Postecoglou landing the Scotland job sits at 6/1.

Only two dugout roles are rated more likely for him, the first being a Socceroos return at 5/1.
He won the AFC Asian Cup with his home country and managed at the 2014 World Cup, but resigned before Russia 2018.
The favourite however is a 3/1 shout for Ange to takeover the Greek giants AEK Athens.
The 13-time league winners finished fourth this season as Olympiacos ran away with it.

A Celtic return isn't rated too unlikely at 10/1, despite Brendan Rodgers showing no signs of leaving after a comfortable League and League Cup double.
However, the Northern Irishman has come under scrutiny from supporters for losing key matches including Old Firm derbies and the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen to sink the treble.
Who could replace Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham manager?
The Aussie was a favourite at Parkhead between 2021 and 2023, with his five major titles earning him the huge EPL move.
In a bizarre call, Glasgow rivals Rangers are on the list of potential options at 33/1.

Ibrox bosses just last week appointed former Southampton gaffer Russell Martin on a three-year contract.
Another unlikely side listed amongst possibilities for Postecoglou is the England national team.
The Three Lions have only played a handful of matches under relatively new head coach Thomas Tuchel who took over from Gareth Southgate at the start of the year.
Several other clubs down south are named as options as well as the potential of joining 'any Saudi Pro League club'.

When does the first summer transfer window close before Club World Cup?
The first transfer window of the summer is set to come to close as teams face a race against time to get deals over the line ahead of the Club World Cup. This early-June mini window is a fresh alteration to summer transfer proceedings - an additional registration period created by Fifa which national associations could adopt if they had teams involved in the inaugural competition, which starts in the United States on June 14. The Premier League opted to take on the new window, allowing Manchester City and Chelsea to make signings before the start of the tournament. Both have been active in the 10-day period, with City having completed the signing of Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, while Chelsea have acquired Ipswich striker Liam Delap. And while numerous of other clubs have taken advantage of the window, with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United also completing transfers, teams have just a few hours left until the transfer window slams shut again. Here is everything you need to know about the pre-Club World Cup transfer deadline. When does the first summer transfer window close? The transfer window traditionally closes at 11pm BST, but an earlier deadline of 7pm has been put in place for the short window which shuts on Tuesday 10 June. The earlier deadline is intended to allow club and league officials to complete their work at more sociable hours rather than still be at their desks well beyond midnight. When does the summer transfer window reopen? The main summer transfer window will reopen on June 16 and runs until September 1, on which a deadline of 7pm will also be in place.

Former Liverpool and Arsenal star to join Man City coaching staff for Club World Cup as he earns promotion to Pep Guardiola's senior side
Two-time Premier League winner Kolo Toure is joining Manchester City 's backroom staff for the Club World Cup. Toure, a coach with the club's Under-18 team under Oliver Reiss, is jetting off to the United States with Pep Guardiola 's squad on Thursday. City saw three of Guardiola's coaching team – Juanma Lillo, Carlos Vicens and Inigo Dominguez – depart the club at the end of the season and have moved quickly to find replacements. Pep Lijnders, Jurgen Klopp 's former No 2 at Liverpool, is in as Guardiola's assistant. Set-piece coach James French ended a 13-year stay at Liverpool to join as well. Toure sealed an Under 18s role last year and is popular among players. The 44-year-old won the league title with City in 2012, while it's not yet known if his promotion will become permanent. The appointments before the Club World Cup, and an alteration in how many players are going on the trip, means the backroom set-up will take on a different feel to what had been expected. The Under-21 boss Ben Wilkinson and his assistant Craig Mudd, both highly regarded in the academy, were believed to be helping the first team in separate fortnight stints across the tournament. But City have opted to largely take established stars, and a smaller squad with fewer youngsters than first envisaged, to America - meaning the two coaches will be left to organise their side's pre-season instead. City are expected to announce the squad, made up of around 25 players, on Wednesday. FIFA regulations allow teams to take more than 30.
