Banners saying 24 years, 14 managers and a trophy took a large and visible place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the evening match against Leicester.

This was the battle that had to be won. It started well with a goal by Richarlison who scored the first goal of the game after 33 minutes, but then Leicester came back just after half-time with two goals. The first of course by Jamie Vardy and then Bilal El Khannouss followed up with the winning goal.

A breather for Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy who has gone from defeat to defeat for a while now and the opposite for Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou who is in trouble.

Tottenham’s loss to Leicester City on Sunday, which was the team’s fourth defeat in a row in the Premier League. This means that the crisis is now total for Spurs, who are in 15th place in the league. – It is actually possible that the London club can be relegated.

But if Ange Postecoglou is to be sacked, they must be prepared to pay dearly.

Postecoglou earns around five million pounds and has a contract until the summer of 2027. This means that Spurs would have to pay a significant sum to the coach in the event of a divorce in the future, around twelve million pounds. But it is more expensive to be relegated!.

Postecoglou took over Tottenham in the summer of 2023, and has previous backgrounds as head coach of Celtic, Yokohama F. Marinos, Melbourne Victory, Brisbane Roard, Whittlesea Zebras, Panachaiki and South Melbourne.

He has also been the head coach of the Australian national team between 2013 and 2017.

Tottenham will face IF Elfsborg at home in the Europa League on Thursday.
