Ange Postecoglou sack announcement update emerges as Tottenham may look elsewhere
Tottenham are understood to be considering the future of Ange Postecoglou despite winning the Europa League.
Beating Manchester United in the final means that the Lilywhites will be playing Champions League football next season.
However, finishing 17th in the Premier League is what has led to questions being asked of the Australian at the helm.
Spurs unlikely to make Postecoglou sack announcement before his vacation
According to Give Me Sport’s Ben Jacobs, Spurs will not be making an announcement on the former Celtic manager’s future before he goes on vacation.
The season has ended and after the end-of-season review, everyone will go on holiday.
However, no decision has yet been made on his future, but Daniel Levy is understood to be considering other managers.

Thomas Frank is one of those linked with the job, but his release clause could prove to be a roadblock in the deal.
Tottenham will have to pay £9million for him, which could see them looking elsewhere as it’s a high release clause for a manager.
Fabio Paratici, who is returning to the North London outfit, may also have a say on Postecoglou’s future and the new manager.
Postecoglou cannot continue at Tottenham
Postecoglou’s tenure at Tottenham must end, as his high-pressing, possession-based system is failing to deliver consistent results in the Premier League, despite the Europa League triumph.
His rigid 4-3-3, reliant on attacking fullbacks and a high defensive line, exposes Spurs’ backline, leading to frequent defensive collapses against top sides.
While the Europa League success showcases his ability to inspire in cup competitions, the league form, marked by erratic performances and a near-relegation position, reveals a disconnect.
Injuries to key players have highlighted the squad’s lack of depth to execute his demanding style, and his reluctance to adapt tactically has frustrated fans.
The board’s ambition for Champions League qualification demands pragmatism, not idealism.
Postecoglou’s philosophy, though admirable, lacks the flexibility needed to navigate the Premier League’s intensity, making his departure necessary for Spurs to regain domestic competitiveness.
