Ange Postecoglou in deepest crisis yet amid huge Tottenham sack decision update
Ange Postecoglou is currently left with nowhere to hide after Tottenham suffered a 1-0 defeat against Chelsea.
The Australian’s dealing with the Spurs fanbase certainly did not go down well, given the fact that the side are languishing in 14th place in the Premier League.
The 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night was their 16th in the league this season.
Postecoglou in deep trouble as he flirts with sack at Spurs
The former Celtic manager’s tenure at the North London club is understood to be in its deepest crisis yet, per Give Me Sport.
It’s understood that the mood around the club surrounding Postecoglou’s future is shifting.
Insiders who were once confident about him being in charge until the end of the season now believe that he could be sacked earlier.

| Brighton | 8th | 47 |
| Tottenham | 14th | 34 |
The Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt next week appears to be the major determining factor about his future at the Lilywhites.
Spurs have the chance to lift silverware for the first time since 2008 if they manage to progress all the way to the final and win a European trophy.
Daniel Levy has to be proactive with the Tottenham manager search
A trophy could offer temporary reprieve, but for chairman Daniel Levy, even that might not suffice.
Postecoglou’s persistent tactical stubbornness, defensive vulnerabilities and failure to deliver consistent league form have eroded trust.
The North London outfit’s dismal position, coupled with fan discontent, demands a reset.
Even if Spurs scrape through and win the Europa League, Levy cannot afford to gamble on another season of mediocrity with Postecoglou at the helm.
The financial and competitive stakes are too high and missing Champions League football again would be disastrous.
Levy must act decisively, opening talks with multiple managerial candidates now to ensure a smooth transition.
Names like Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Thomas Frank have surfaced, each offering proven Premier League nous or tactical flexibility that Postecoglou lacks.
Waiting risks further stagnation, and Levy’s history of swift managerial changes suggests he’s already plotting the next move, trophy or not.
The Europa League might buy time, but it won’t erase the deeper issues, signaling Postecoglou’s time is up.
