Tottenham news: Odds shorten amid major Ange Postecoglou sack decision update
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is under major pressure after the recent 4-2 loss against Wolves.
Spurs’ loss on Sunday was, shockingly, their 17th of the season in the league as they find themselves languishing in 15th place.
A loss against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night will see the North London outfit ending yet another season trophyless and will have no European football for next season.
Postecoglou appears to be teetering on the brink
The former Celtic manager is on the verge of the sack at Spurs, after yet another disappointing domestic display, per Goal.
Odds are now shortening on him becoming the next Premier League manager to be shown the door.
At 4/6, per Skybet’s playbook, Ruud van Nistelrooy remains the favourite to be sacked at 4/6.
However, Postecoglou’s odds are shortening after the Wolves loss as he’s now at 9/2 to be the next league boss to get sacked.
They are expected to shorten further if the Lilywhites are to crash out of the Europa League.
Tottenham need a change regardless of Europa League finish
Even the most ardent Postecoglou supporters are struggling to defend the Australian as his tenure falters.
His high-pressing, attacking philosophy initially brought optimism, but inconsistent results, tactical inflexibility and a thin squad have eroded faith.
Fans see a team lacking cohesion, with players appearing disillusioned, unable to execute his vision against stronger opponents.
Despite the possibility of Europa League success, which would be a testament to his ambition, the disconnect between Postecoglou, the players and the fanbase is palpable.
The Spurs faithful, once energised by his charisma, now question his ability to deliver sustained progress.
A Europa League triumph might allow him to depart with dignity, head held high, having added silverware.
However, Tottenham’s stagnation demands change.
The Lilywhites need a manager who can balance pragmatism with flair, galvanise the squad, and restore belief at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
A fresh voice could reignite the team’s potential, aligning with Spurs’ aspirations for consistent top-four contention and domestic dominance.
