Ange Postecoglou sack: BBC journalist issues behind-the-scenes Tottenham update
Ange Postecoglou is facing the heat currently as Tottenham find themselves in 14th place in the Premier League.
While their Europa League run is impressive and they have been tipped as the favourites to win the trophy, their domestic campaign has been woeful.
Despite the recent loss to Fulham, the hierarchy have made the decision to not sack the Australian imminently.
Nizaar Kinsela issues behind-the-scenes stance on Ange Postecoglou
BBC journalist Nizaar Kinsela was recently asked if the Australian has a future at Spurs.
He responded on 19 March at 2:05pm on the BBC blog that he does not believe the club want to make a change now.
The hierarchy want things to work out for Postecoglou after a good first season in charge.
Despite that, there is a growing frustration behind the scenes about the team’s performance domestically this campaign.
A Europa League triumph could save his job but things may look dicey in case he fails to guide the team to silverware this season.
Daniel Levy and the Tottenham board need to hold a critical review
Daniel Levy and the Spurs board cannot solely hinge Postecoglou’s future on their Europa League campaign, as it could be decided by a few fortunate or unlucky breaks, skewing the broader picture.
A knockout tie decided by a late goal or a refereeing call could unfairly define his tenure.
The Europa League’s volatile nature means it’s a poor barometer for judging a manager’s overall impact, especially with Spurs languishing in 14th in the Premier League.
| Premier League | W | D | L | P |
| Tottenham (14th) | 10 | 4 | 15 | 34 |
Instead, the owners should assess whether Postecoglou retains the squad’s belief in his high-pressing, attacking philosophy, which initially dazzled but has since stuttered amid injuries and inconsistency.
His retention should hinge on tangible signs – player commitment, training intensity and tactical cohesion – that he can elevate Tottenham next season with a bolstered squad, perhaps targeting a top-six finish and a cup run.
Sacking him mid-campaign risks derailing progress, but keeping him without faith in his vision is equally futile.
The Europa League might shape short-term perceptions, but long-term potential under his guidance must dictate the call.
