Ange Postecoglou faces D-day over Tottenham future next week
Ange Postecoglou's future at Tottenham Hotspur is set to be decided next week, with sources viewing his position as under extreme risk despite winning the Europa League. The Spurs manager, 59, delivered the club's first silverware in 17 years but oversaw their worst-ever finish in the Premier League with 22 defeats across the campaign, leading to chairman Daniel Levy looking at other managers. Levy has been away from the UK in the last days, while Postecoglou has been on holiday and a decision on whether to sack the Australian coach is pending. Spurs will make major changes in key departments this summer and a change of manager has been anticipated in some quarters. Postecoglou is halfway through his four-year contract at Spurs, having joined from Celtic in 2023 and delivered a trophy in his second season, as he predicted in September. The Spurs squad and Postecoglou celebrated with fans on an open-top bus parade after defeating Manchester United in the Europa final, with the manager insisting: 'In all the best TV shows, season three is better than season two.' But Levy has been mindful to make changes this summer after the club's Premier League form nosedived. They suffered the most defeats by a team in a 38-game season without getting relegated. Vinai Venkatesham will take over as chief executive, while changes are expected in the medical and sport science departments. Brentford's Thomas Frank will be in the frame should Postecoglou depart, with the Danish coach's work with young players at the Gtech Community Stadium admired. Fulham's Marco Silva is also highly rated, as is Andoni Iraola although he is expected to stay at Bournemouth. Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish, meanwhile, was adamant Oliver Glasner would stay at Selhurst Park after winning the FA Cup. Postecoglou became only the second Spurs manager to win silverware this century with the Bilbao triumph, joining Juande Ramos, who won the League Cup in 2008. On the final day of the season, after a 4-1 home defeat by Brighton, Postecoglou questioned why he should be asked about his future after winning a trophy for the club and also returning to the Champions League. But he also accepted Premier League form had been 'nowhere near good enough and unacceptable'. The Greek-born coach, who moved to Australia as a child, was Levy's fourth permanent appointment in as many years. Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espírito Santo and Antonio Conte also had spells in the post-Mauricio Pochettino era, with only Postecoglou delivering a trophy. Ryan Mason, who worked in Postecoglou's backroom staff, is finalising his move to West Bromwich Albion to be head coach.
