Tottenham new boss: Xabi Alonso to rejuvenate Spurs amid Postecoglou sack news
Ange Postecoglou remains in a job at Tottenham, though his fortunes could change very quickly in North London.
Postecoglou has been hanging by a thread at Tottenham for some time now, though that thread is wearing thinner with each passing week.
Exits from both domestic cups, matched with their shamefully low league position, means that they will have to find success through the Europa League if any is to be found at all.
However, with AZ Alkmaar leading 1-0 ahead of the second leg, Spurs will have a huge task on their hand to overcome that deficit, otherwise, there may be consequences.
Postecoglou could be sacked if Tottenham fail to progress past AZ
Not only does Tottenham’s season hinge on their result against Alkmaar, but the future of Postecoglou may follow suit.
Daniel Levy could pull the trigger if they lose to the Dutch outfit, which would leave them searching for a new manager capable of changing things around in North London.
While Andoni Iraola is one name that will be mentioned, Xabi Alonso could be a potential outsider for the job after his Leverkusen team exited the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich.

The Spaniard had previously been tipped for the Real Madrid job, which would be far more appealing than the one at Tottenham currently, though the minor regression with Leverkusen could change that stance, in turn opening the door for Tottenham.
Alonso’s season with Leverkusen last time out shocked almost everyone, after they won the Bundesliga title against all odds, in a similar job to the one that he would have at Tottenham.
His high-intensity style of play would be exciting while utilising a style that would suit the likes of Djed Spence and Pedro Porro perfectly, and at odds of 20/1, it may not be as unrealistic as it seems [BetVictor].
Tottenham must get next appointment right
Whether it’s in the next few days or the next few months, Tottenham will inevitably be looking for a new manager in the near future, but it needs to be the right one.
Spurs have looked incapable of competing this season, and they need a manager capable of changing that, not only physically but also mentally.
Tottenham have looked weak in both aspects, and until that changes, success appears as though it will be nothing but a dream.
