Ange Postecoglou came in as a breath of fresh air in the Premier League before last season. With a background in Australian and Japanese football, the Australian was brought to Celtic, where he convinced the Spurs management that he was the right long-term solution for the club. Now it was the end of a Mourinho or Conte, who fought their way to an exit in the space of two seasons. Still, little about Postecoglou is reminiscent of the long-term solution.
Postecoglou impressed last season, even if it wasn’t quite enough for a Champions League ticket. Then came the new pre-season and the sporting nightmare started in the Premier League. Sunday’s 2-0 defeat sent Tottenham down to 14th place.
15 defeats in the Premier League, which has not happened since the 2008/09 season.
The Spurs management has been behind Postecoglou, who has complained of a continuous injury nightmare, but against Fulham, Postecoglou had a strong starting eleven back in place. Without it helping.
Now, GivemeSport journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Tottenham have three candidates to take over the job if they end up sacking Postecoglou:
Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)
Marco Silva (Fulham)
Thomas Frank (Brentford)
