Tottenham players lose confidence as ‘Disgusting’ Postecoglou sack claim emerges
Tottenham players undoubtedly will be disappointed with their 17th-placed Premier League finish this past season.
Despite winning the Europa League, Ange Postecoglou is still facing an uncertain future at Spurs.
Daniel Levy is considering replacements for him and Thomas Frank has been linked with the job.
Emmanuel Petit believes Postecoglou sack is on the cards
Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit was on talkSPORT on Tuesday morning to discuss Postecoglou’s future, among other things.
In his view, the Europa League final against Manchester United was a “disgusting” game to watch.
Having seen Spurs’ performances all season, he believes that the players have lost confidence in the manager.
| Played | Won | Drew | Lost |
| 38 | 11 | 5 | 22 |
Conversely, he also thinks that Postecoglou has lost confidence in some of the Tottenham players.
He told talkSPORT at 11:45am: “I saw the final. What a poor final. It was disgusting to watch. I think many players have lost confidence with Postecoglou and I think Postecoglou as well, has lost confidence in some players. I think it’s the perfect time for him to leave the club.”
Tottenham cannot replace Postecoglou with Frank
Petit’s critique of Postecoglou’s tenure at Tottenham, highlighting a mutual loss of confidence between manager and players, resonates with Spurs’ disappointing 17th-placed Premier League finish despite their Europa League triumph.
However, replacing the Australian with the Brentford boss may not be the upgrade Spurs need.
Frank’s Brentford side are known for pragmatic, defensively solid tactics, which clash with Spurs’ desire for attacking, free-flowing football – a cornerstone of Postecoglou’s philosophy that aligns with the club’s identity.
Frank’s approach, while effective for Brentford, lacks the flair and ambition required to elevate Tottenham in the Champions League, where dynamic, proactive football is essential.
Levy must cast a wider net to find a manager who can balance attacking principles with the tactical nous needed for European success.
Choosing Frank risks stifling Tottenham’s attacking identity, potentially alienating fans and hindering progress in both domestic and European competitions.
