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'.

Palace co-owner John Textor would sell shares for Europa League chance
The American, whose Eagle Football Group owns 43 per cent of Palace, has imperilled the club's chance of a first-ever European campaign owing to his involvement with Ligue 1 side Lyon, but is ready to offload his stake to his fellow co-owners in order to bring the saga to an end. UEFA does not allow clubs with the same ownership to compete in the same European competitions in a season. As well as his stake in Palace, the 59-year-old has a controlling stake in the French club, also via Eagle Football. However it is also reported that the European governing body does not consider Textor's influence at Selhurst Park to be decisive and is leaning towards allowing the club into the Europa League regardless. The PA news agency understands no formal decision is likely on Palace's fate until the end of June. Textor has previously spoken of his frustration at how little influence his stake entitles him to, over football matters. Victory for Oliver Glasner's side over Manchester City in last month's FA Cup final gave them their first major trophy and with it a first crack at Europe. However, Nottingham Forest have since written to UEFA to challenge Palace's Europa League spot and in the hope of taking their place. Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns Greek side Olympiacos, placed his shares in the club in a blind trust before the governing body's March 1 deadline, anticipating Nuno Espirito Santo's side's European qualification. At present Forest, who finished seventh in last season's Premier League, are set to enter the Conference League but would take Palace's Europa League place, should they be deemed ineligible.

Marseille reach ‘agreement in principle' to sign England midfielder Angel Gomes
The former Manchester United youngster is set to become a free agent when his contract with another French side in Lille expires at the end of this month. The 24-year-old could also be joined by Burnley's CJ Egan-Riley at the Stade Velodrome after the Clarets confirmed the defender had rejected the offer of a new deal at Turf Moor. 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 🤝 Olympique de Marseille announces that it has reached an agreement in principle with Angel Gomes regarding the arrival of the English international midfielder at the club. 🏴 — Olympique de Marseille 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 (@OM_English) June 11, 2025 Gomes joined Lille five years ago after failing to establish himself as a first-team regular at Old Trafford. His performances have since earned him four England caps. He had been linked with West Ham and Tottenham but has opted for Marseille, where he will link up with another former United player in Mason Greenwood. A statement from Marseille read: 'Olympique de Marseille announces that it has reached an agreement in principle with Angel Gomes regarding the arrival of the English international midfielder at the club.' Egan-Riley, who is a graduate of Manchester City's youth programme, impressed as Burnley secured promotion back to the Premier League last season but was also out of contract this summer. The Lancashire side were keen for the 22-year-old to stay but have accepted he wishes to move on. They confirmed the centre-back's departure in a statement which referred to him joining an unnamed Ligue 1 club. It has been widely claimed that is Marseille. The statement added: 'Burnley Football Club can confirm that it has been informed by the representatives of CJ Egan-Riley that the England U21 international defender has now formally rejected the club's offer of a significant long-term contract with the club. 'Despite the club's commitment to securing CJ's long-term future and the substantial investment offered, CJ has made the decision to pursue an opportunity in France.'
