Jamie Carragher shares what he heard about Tottenham sacking Ange Postecoglou
Jamie Carragher discussed Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham on Sky Sports’ The Overlap on YouTube.
The Australian remains in a job as Spurs are vying for the Europa League and are currently in the semi-finals.
Domestically, it has been an abysmal campaign with them currently in 16th place.
Carragher shares media reports on Postecoglou sack
Carragher claims he’s read reports in the press which stated that no matter what happens, the former Cetic manager will not be at the North London outfit next season.
This is because of how poorly they have fared in all competitions and suffered a staggering 18 league losses with few games still to go.
Spurs have to get past Bodo/Glimt before they face either Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao in the final.
Carragher said at 11:42: “There were reports days ago in the press, whether it’s true or not, that no matter what happens in the Europa League, it looks like you’ll have a new manager.”
Tottenham will be making a mistake if they don’t sack Postecoglou
Failing to sack Postecoglou, even if Tottenham manage to win the Europa League, sends a misguided message of endorsing tactical stagnation over long-term Premier League success.
Postecoglou’s high-pressing, attacking philosophy, while initially promising, has faltered in 2024/25, with Spurs languishing due to defensive vulnerabilities and inconsistent results against top sides.
His rigid adherence to an expansive style, often exposed by counter-attacks, suggests a lack of adaptability critical for domestic competitiveness.

A Europa League triumph, while prestigious, would likely mask these underlying issues rather than resolve them, delaying an inevitable reckoning.
Sacking him at the end of the season, before the summer transfer window, allows Spurs to appoint a manager whose tactics align with Premier League demands, ensuring recruitment and pre-season preparations reflect a cohesive vision.
Waiting three months into the new season risks further poor results, fan disillusionment and a wasted transfer window, entrenching mediocrity.
Decisive action now signals ambition and prioritises sustainable progress over short-term silverware, reinforcing that Spurs aim to compete consistently at the elite level, not rely on cup runs to justify tactical shortcomings.
