Ange Postecoglou tipped for ‘big European job’ thanks to Tottenham credit in the bank
Tottenham fans may see Ange Postecoglou in a new dugout in the near future.
Postecoglou was sacked by Tottenham despite winning the Europa League, after Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League.
He was quick to return to management, with the ex-Tottenham boss taking the Nottingham Forest role in September.
However, Postecoglou was dismissed from that job in October, after just 39 days in the role, and is currently out of work.
Postecoglou new role tipped after Tottenham heroics
Postecoglou’s Europa League-winning exploits with Tottenham could land him another job within European football, according to John Wenham.
The Lilywhites insider believes that he has enough credit in the bank to land a big role, lauding the previous vacancy at Bayer Leverkusen as a perfect example.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “I think Ange’s best bet is probably waiting for a big European job, he is still the current Europa League-winning manager.
“I was surprised he took the Forest job when he did, it didn’t seem necessary; his stock was still high, if I was him, I would have waited for a European job.
“They pop up a lot, we saw earlier this season, the Bayer Leverkusen job came up, I think he would be wise to just wait there and start fresh, out of the limelight of the English media, and some of the difficulties that he had here with them sometimes.“

Postecoglou’s Tottenham record explained
Postecoglou had a mixed time with Spurs, of course, he brought a trophy for the first time in 17 years and achieved his promise of winning a trophy in his second season.
However, the league form was not good enough, and he was given the boot after losing 22 matches last season, which is simply not good enough.
The Lilywhites won just 11 games, and secured five draws, and finished the campaign with just 38 points, which was ultimately the Australians’ undoing.
That followed an encouraging first season, in which he notched 20 victories, six draws and 12 losses, finishing fifth in the division.
Any club that decides to hire him, will need to be aware of his record, and take caution, but Wenham is probably correct; he may well land another big job.
