Ange Postecoglou will reportedly not be given too long to turn things around at Spurs, with the club’s hierarchy remaining hopeful that the form will improve but wanting to see instant results.
Is Ange Postecoglou’s job safe for now?
Many felt that Tottenham’s defeat at Goodison Park on Sunday might be the final nail in the coffin of Postecoglou‘s tenure at N17.
However, reports over the last two days continue to suggest that the Spurs hierarchy have no immediate plans of sacking Postecoglou.
Cynics would suggest that it is just a case of Daniel Levy and co not wanting to undermine Postecoglou until they find a sufficient replacement and that Tottenham’s search for his successor might have already begun.
How many more games will Postecoglou get?
The Guardian have now stated that the Spurs top brass intend to give Postecoglou an opportunity to revive the club’s fortunes.
However, the report makes it clear that the 59-year-old is now on ‘thin ice’ and that his situation is now increasingly ‘precarious’.
The publication asserts that Postecoglou will remain in charge of Spurs at least for their next two matches against Hoffenheim in the Europa League and Leicester in the Premier League.
Levy is still said to be hopeful of a turnaround but it sounds like time is running out for Postecoglou to save his job.
Why Levy is still hopeful about Postecoglou
The Guardian explain that Levy sees the team’s current form as ‘unacceptable’, but he can see Postecoglou’s long-term vision and sympathises with the injury situation that he has had to deal with this season.
The Tottenham chairman is said to be taking into account the fact that Postecoglou has had to operate with double-digit absentees for many weeks.
The outlet adds that the fervent hope of everyone at Spurs is that things will start to improve once the selection crisis eases.
