Levy waiting for one thing to sack Postecoglou at Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou could be on the brink of facing the sack at Tottenham.
The Lilywhites are preparing to welcome AZ Alkmaar to North London on Thursday (13 March) after losing 1-0 in the first leg.
A Lucas Bergvall own goal proved to be the difference between the two sides and now Spurs must win in the reverse tie to earn a quarter-final place.
Ahead of this clash, the Australian head coach will be hoping for a positive result, especially after the latest admission down Hotspur Way.
Levy to wait for AZ Alkmaar result before Postecoglou sack
The Eredivisie outfit arguably deserved to take a lead into the second leg clash away in N17 and the travelling side deserved what they got.
It is fair to say that the North Londoners didn’t follow up this defeat with a positive performance against Bournemouth on Sunday (9 March).
There was an abject atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which reflected onto the pitch when the likes of Cristian Romero made constant errors.
Despite snatching a draw in the end thanks to a Son Hueng-min penalty, there was plenty of frustration surrounding the former Celtic boss.
Ben Foster believes that a poor performance or result in the upcoming Europa League clash could prove to be the final curtain for Postecoglou.
Speaking on the Football Fill-In (11 March), he said: “If Spurs lose that second leg against Alkmaar, I think he’s gone. I think they are waiting for that.
“If he loses that game or doesn’t qualify for the next round, I think Postecoglou is gone.”
Tottenham could be set to make Postecoglou sack decision
It is fair to say that the Aussie is walking on thin ice right now and could soon be in line to face the sack if things don’t turn around.
Postecoglou spoke regularly of a train at the end of the tunnel due to injury concerns but other than Dejan Kulusevski, that isn’t the case right now.
Romero came back in surrounded by Argentina controversy and was poor while the rest of the side appeared to follow suit at times.
| Stat | Bournemouth | Tottenham |
| Expected goals | 2.20 | 1.53 |
| Big chances | 1 | 5 |
| Duels won | 49 | 65 |
| Interceptions | 15 | 8 |
If it wasn’t for a penalty and a fluky strike from Pape Sarr, it would have been another defeat at home under the 59-year-old head coach.
A negative result against AZ Alkmaar would dump Spurs out of Europe and kill their season, if that is to happen, then there is not much hope for Postecoglou to stick around.
