Spurs fan chants tell Daniel Levy who they want to replace Postecoglou
Tottenham fans at Villa Park made their stance on Ange Postecoglou’s future clear, voicing their frustrations and signaling their preferred replacement should a managerial change occur. While the club’s leadership has maintained faith in Postecoglou, their patience may be wearing thin after back-to-back eliminations from the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
The only remaining opportunity for silverware this season is the Europa League, a competition that now carries even greater significance if Postecoglou is to maintain his record of winning trophies in his second season at every club he has managed.
At the start of the season, the Australian confidently expressed his belief in achieving success, but recent performances have raised serious doubts.
Reports before Tottenham’s visit to Villa Park suggested that a defeat against Unai Emery’s side could put Postecoglou’s job in jeopardy. With the team’s lackluster display in the 2-1 loss, speculation about an imminent change has only intensified.
The reaction from Tottenham’s traveling supporters further highlighted their growing dissatisfaction, as they joined in the chants mocking their manager. When Villa fans sang “You’re getting sacked in the morning,” Spurs supporters responded by chanting Mauricio Pochettino’s name, making it clear they long for the return of the Argentine, who previously transformed the club and led them to a Champions League final.
Postecoglou now faces one of the toughest moments of his managerial career. Despite early optimism surrounding his attacking philosophy, the results have not matched expectations.
Tottenham’s lack of defensive stability, coupled with inconsistent performances, has left them struggling to compete at the highest level. Injuries have undoubtedly played a role in their downturn, but the overall structure of the team has not adapted well to the challenges of the Premier League.
Fans have become increasingly frustrated with the club’s direction, with many questioning whether Postecoglou has the tactical flexibility to turn things around.
Bringing back Pochettino, however, would not be a straightforward task. Since leaving Chelsea, he has taken on the role of head coach for the United States Men’s National Team.
Reports indicate that his contract includes clauses that would make it extremely difficult for any club to lure him away before the 2026 World Cup. The USMNT has ambitious plans for their home tournament, and Pochettino is fully committed to leading them through that campaign.
While Tottenham fans may dream of his return, the reality is that securing his services would require overcoming significant contractual and logistical hurdles.
For now, Postecoglou remains in charge, but the pressure is mounting. With crucial fixtures ahead, Daniel Levy and the Tottenham hierarchy must decide whether to back the manager through this turbulent period or consider making a change before the situation worsens.
The upcoming weeks could be decisive in shaping the club’s immediate future, as they navigate through a season filled with disappointment and uncertainty.
