Tottenham boss Postecoglou lined up for shock Premier League job if he is sacked this summer

Ange Postecoglou’s turbulent Tottenham tenure appears destined to conclude this summer, regardless of Europa League outcomes, marking what would be a dramatic fall from grace for the Australian manager.

Spurs’ likely bottom-half Premier League finish – their first since 2007/08 – has eroded Daniel Levy’s confidence in his head coach, with Borussia Dortmund’s Niko Kovac and Scott Parker emerging as potential successors at N17.

Yet Postecoglou’s Premier League story may not end in North London. The 59-year-old tactician has surfaced as a surprise candidate for Leeds United, should the newly-promoted club seek a managerial change despite Daniel Farke securing their top-flight return.

Leeds’ hierarchy reportedly crave Premier League experience as they plot survival next season, viewing Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy – reminiscent of beloved former boss Marcelo Bielsa – as potentially ideal for Elland Road.

The parallels are intriguing. Both Tottenham and Leeds demand expansive, entertaining football, though Postecoglou’s inflexibility at Spurs contrasts sharply with Bielsa’s famed adaptability.

While Leeds’ shortlist reportedly includes high-profile names like Jose Mourinho and Bodo/Glimt’s Kjetil Knutsen, Postecoglou offers proven Premier League experience and a track record of implementing attacking systems.

This potential move would present Postecoglou with an immediate shot at redemption, facing his former club Tottenham while attempting to stabilize a Leeds side determined to avoid becoming another yo-yo club.

For a manager who prides himself on building projects, Leeds could offer the clean slate and patient environment Tottenham ultimately couldn’t provide.

The coming weeks will reveal whether Postecoglou’s next chapter unfolds in West Yorkshire or elsewhere, but his Premier League journey seems far from over.
