Tottenham sources reveal main focus as Ange Postecoglou sack decision made
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham tenure has taken yet another twist for the worse after the recent defeat against Fulham.
Marco Silva’s men beat the Lilywhites 2-0 at Craven Cottage, adding to the Australian’s woes in the Premier League.
They currently sit in 14th place with 34 points with 29 games played.
Spurs make decision to not sack Ange Postecoglou
Spurs are among the favourites if not the favourite to win the Europa League and that appears to be what’s keeping Postecoglou in his job.
Fabrizio Romano told Give Me Sport that the hierarchy’s focus is currently on the present and the decision has been made to not sack the Australian.
The Europa League is the main focus for everyone at the club and that’s what the sources have been iterating.
Despite the wretched league form and the very realistic possibility of finishing in the bottom half, the club are still sticking with their manager.
Andoni Iraola is the perfect man to take over at Tottenham
Andoni Iraola could replicate Mauricio Pochettino’s transformative impact at Tottenham by bringing a high-pressing, dynamic style that mirrors Pochettino’s early success while leveraging his proven ability to elevate a squad.
At Bournemouth, Iraola has turned an unheralded team into a top-half Premier League contender, showcasing tactical adaptability and a knack for maximising player potential – hallmarks of Pochettino’s tenure, where he led Spurs to a Champions League final and a second-place finish and also overachieved at Southampton.
| Opponent | Result |
| AZ Alkmaar (A) | 1-0 L |
| Bournemouth (H) | 2-2 D |
| AZ Alkmaar (H) | 3-1 W |
| Fulham (A) | 2-0 L |
Iraola’s emphasis on aggressive, possession-based football aligns with Spurs’ need for a clear identity, something lost under Postecoglou’s reign this season.
The Spaniard’s youth development skills, evident with Bournemouth’s emerging talents, echo Pochettino’s nurturing of Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
Tottenham must hire Iraola to escape their current mid-table malaise, as his fresh approach and upward trajectory offer a chance to rebuild and compete, avoiding the stagnation that has plagued them since Pochettino’s 2019 exit.
