Levy ‘to appoint big-name manager’ amid Postecoglou sack news at Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou’s position at Tottenham remains uncertain as Daniel Levy prepares a well-renowned manager appointment.
Postecoglou delivered Tottenham their first trophy in 17 years but also oversaw the North London club’s worst-ever Premier League campaign.
The latter would have made it clear to Levy that a replacement might be needed, and Thomas Frank emerged as the favourite to step into the role.
However, it appears a more exciting manager could serve as a replacement following the latest on Postecoglou’s future.
Tottenham ‘to appoint a big-name manager ahead of Frank’
Postecoglou has been heavily linked with the sack, although it was reported on Saturday (31 May) that the 59-year-old’s chances of remaining at Tottenham have increased [Gianluca Di Marzio].
However, a decision is yet to be made clear one way or the other. Several potential replacements for Postecoglou have gained traction in recent weeks, but no one more than Brentford boss Frank, who finished 10th in the Premier League with the Bees this season.
| Premier League 2024/25 | MP | W | D | L | Pts |
| 10. Brentford | 38 | 16 | 8 | 14 | 56 |
| 17. Tottenham | 38 | 11 | 5 | 22 | 38 |
However, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes Spurs will appoint a big-name manager if Postecoglou is sacked.
“I don’t think Frank is an exciting option,” Wenham said
“Brentford were one of the few teams that Tottenham did the double over last season. I just don’t see Frank as a suitable replacement if we’re going to get rid of a manager who has delivered us our first major trophy in years.
“If Tottenham do decide to get rid of Postecoglou, they will need to appoint a big-name manager who fans can get behind. I don’t see Frank exciting fans of a club who are now going to be competing in the UEFA Champions League next year.”
Spurs should give Postecoglou at least six more months
Postecoglou did the unthinkable when he delivered Spurs the UEFA Europa League during an injury-ridden season.
Better managers, with better squads, have come to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium determined to win silverware but have tripped at the final hurdle.
Thus, if Postecoglou can win in his second season as he promised he would, something bigger than the Europa League must await Tottenham in this third year.
