Football London’ believes that the possibility of Angie Postecoglou being fired as Tottenham Hotspur manager is low. Nevertheless, his position is so shaken that he will have to look for a replacement if he is fired.

Tottenham Hotspur recently suffered two consecutive losses and were eliminated from both the English Carabao Cup (League Cup) and the FA Cup. With the team struggling in 14th place in the Premier League (PL) and having been eliminated from all domestic cup competitions, they have no way to save face other than winning the UEFA Europa League. Furthermore, with the team continuing to struggle in the PL, they could even face relegation if they are not careful.

Nevertheless, the media outlet expressed skepticism about the dismissal, saying that considering the numerous injuries and the club’s policy of recruiting promising players, it is difficult to blame the manager for the poor performance. They also said that if the dismissal is made immediately, there is a high risk that the farce of the 2022-2023 season will be repeated, where a trustworthy new manager will not be appointed, but a ‘caretaker manager’ system will be in place.

The managers who have been known to be likely to move since last season include Thomas Tuchel, Hansi Flick, Xabi Alonso, Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, and Zinedine Zidane. However, among them, Tuchel chose to take charge of the England national team, Flick chose to take charge of Barcelona, ​​Pochettino chose to take charge of the US national team, and Alonso chose to extend his contract with Bayer 04 Leverkusen. They are too flashy managers for Tottenham to pursue anyway.

A more realistic list includes former Germany manager Joachim Löw, former Manchester United manager Erik Ten Haag, former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Julen Lopetegui, former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez, former Borussia Dortmund manager Eden Terzic, and former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri.
