Ange Postecoglou sack sealed: Tottenham boss can ‘pack his bags now’ after latest news
Tottenham’s woeful Premier League campaign took yet another embarrassing turn for the worse when they suffered a 4-2 defeat to Wolves on Sunday
Vitor Pereira’s men took the lead after just two minutes, which set the tone for an afternoon that heaped further pressure on Ange Postecoglou.
Djed Spence inadvertently turned the ball into his net as Wolves went 2-0 up before Mathys Tel got himself on the scoresheet for Tottenham.
Richarlison also scored for the North London outfit, but his strike was sandwiched in between goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha, who sealed a big win for Pereira and Co.
Wolves defeat will secure Postecoglou sack
Tottenham’s heavy defeat at Molineux showed that Postecoglou is incapable of turning matters around at Spurs.
The North London club now sit 15th in the Premier League, just two points above Wolves and 17th-place West Ham.
| Opponent | Result |
| Chelsea (A) | 1-0 L |
| Southampton (H) | 3-1 W |
| Frankfurt (H) | 1-1 D |
| Wolves (A) | 4-2 L |
It is no wonder that Spurs have already set their sights on Fulham boss Marco Silva and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola as potential replacements for the Australian.
Sunday’s embarrassing loss to Wolves painted a familiar story for the Tottenham faithful, who witnessed their side put on a woeful defensive display that will likely cost Postecoglou his job.
Pereira’s men have suffered a difficult campaign of their own, yet they were able to hammer the North London outfit, who showed shocking defensive quality in the West Midlands.
Spurs appear set for a tough night against Frankfurt on Thursday
On Sunday, Spurs conceded a whopping four goals against a Wolves side who have managed a mediocre return of 47 goals in 32 Premier League outings.
Postecoglou’s men suffered their 17th top-flight defeat of the season at Molineux and have also faced other embarrassments, such as their 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Leicester back in January.
There is no doubt that Tottenham’s impressive run to the Europa League quarter-finals has saved Postecoglou from facing the sack already.
Spurs only managed to draw 1-1 with Frankfurt in North London in Thursday’s first leg and will likely struggle to win on away soil in Germany.
Frankfurt have scored 55 goals in 28 Bundesliga fixtures this term and will be looking forward to the prospect of testing their clinical tendencies against Tottenham’s leaky defence in the second leg on 17 April.
Going into the game with the Australian in charge now appears a huge risk, and Daniel Levy will know that.
Postecoglou’s sack fate seems sealed after Tottenham’s latest defeat to Wolves, as a win over Frankfurt appears unlikely now, and he may begin to pack his bags tonight.
