Postecoglou call expected imminently amid big Tottenham update
Tottenham’s Europa League win has prompted a potentially massive decision for Daniel Levy, which would have a big impact on the club’s immediate future.
Ange Postecoglou has come under fire over the last few months as a result of Spurs’ dire league form, but their European exploits have now created a sizeable dilemma for Levy and the club’s hierarchy.
The Australian has become the first boss to deliver a trophy to N17 in 17 years, but he has done so against the backdrop of one of the poorest league seasons in the club’s recent history.
The former Celtic boss has firmly divided opinion during his two-year stint at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and that looks unlikely to change anytime soon.
Tottenham set to resolve Postecoglou’s future in the next few days
Postecoglou’s future has already become one of the biggest stories of the summer.
Levy is also understood to have met with the likes of Thomas Frank and Simone Inzaghi, but there has still been no official confirmation of the Australian’s departure.
However, it is now believed that a final decision could come from the North London club by the end of the week, according to Sky Sports (4 June).
The lack of clarity over the future of the 59-year-old is set to be brought to an end over the next few days, with Levy due to return from a holiday.
Sky Sports’ chief correspondent, Kaveh Solhekol, has branded it as: “One of the hardest decisions Levy has had to take since he’s been at Spurs.”
Tottenham need Postecoglou’s future to be decided quickly
Whatever decision Levy and the Tottenham board end up coming to, the club are now surely at the stage where they need that decision to be reached as quickly as possible.
Spurs have had such a frustrating season that there will undoubtedly be plenty of work that needs doing on the squad over the summer, and it’s unlikely that can begin without a manager in place, given that a move for someone like Frank would prompt a fairly drastic change in style.
It could certainly be argued that Postecoglou deserves the chance to lead the team into the new campaign, but on the other hand, there would be little point in giving him a whole summer to work on adding to the squad, just to then dismiss him if the team make a poor start.
Levy’s stance on his manager’s future has seemingly changed on numerous occasions, but it must surely be considered welcome news that a final resolution is now on the horizon.
