Ange Postecoglou came in as a breath of fresh air in the Premier League before last season. Directly in as Manager of the Month, almost-ticket to the Champions League after 5th place in his debut season. Then came the big fall. The Spurs manager has had an injury situation that no coach treats him, but still, 14th place in the Premier League and behind even Man United, does not inspire any confidence from the supporters. Ahead of the city derby against Chelsea, it is clear what it will take for the Australian to lead Tottenham next season as well.

On Thursday, there will be a city derby in London, the last meeting Chelsea won. All focus is on Thursday’s game, but already on April 10, Tottenham will go up to the Champions League quarter-finals against the Bundesliga’s 3rd best club, Eintracht Frankfurt. With a tough bone game against Chelsea, there is a high risk that Tottenham will lose several players with injuries before the quarter-finals. And this is where the big battle lies.
