“That is a disgrace” – Paul O Keefe shares Postecoglou sack update he’s hearing out of Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur are expected to retain Ange Postecoglou as manager until the end of the season, according to insider Paul O’Keefe.
Despite a disappointing campaign, the club appears willing to give Postecoglou time to turn things around, with their Europa League campaign now representing their only chance of salvaging silverware this season.
Spurs have been eliminated from every other competition and face an uphill battle to secure European football through their Premier League position, currently sitting in 14th place and 10 points adrift of the top half.
O’Keefe responded to speculation about Postecoglou’s future, suggesting that the Australian is likely to remain in charge for the remainder of the season. However, he also noted that Postecoglou has been fortunate to retain his position given the team’s poor form.
“I doubt it. He probably gets the Europa League and the season. However, in my opinion, if that happens, he’s a very lucky man,” O’Keefe said. “In his last 38 league matches—equivalent to a whole season—he’s picked up 44 points. Injuries or not, Levy and Enic or not, that is a disgrace.”
Postecoglou’s tenure has been marred by inconsistency and underwhelming results. While injuries and other external factors have played a role, the team’s performances have fallen well below expectations for a club of Tottenham’s stature.
The Europa League now represents Postecoglou’s last chance to make a meaningful impact, with their upcoming quarter-final tie against Eintracht Frankfurt likely to be decisive in determining his future. However, even a Europa League triumph may not be enough to appease fans who have grown frustrated with the team’s domestic struggles.
Tottenham’s hierarchy is reportedly considering potential replacements should they decide to part ways with Postecoglou. GIVEMESPORT sources indicate that Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Fulham’s Marco Silva, and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola are among the candidates being evaluated.
Iraola, in particular, is said to be a leading contender for the role, thanks to his impressive work with Bournemouth this season.
The pressure on Postecoglou is mounting, and the next few weeks could prove pivotal. If Spurs fail to progress in the Europa League, it may hasten the decision to make a change in the dugout.
Even if Postecoglou survives until the end of the season, the club’s hierarchy will need to see significant improvement to justify keeping him in charge for the long term.
For now, Postecoglou’s fate hangs in the balance. The Europa League offers a lifeline, but the team’s dismal Premier League form has left fans disillusioned.
As the season reaches its climax, all eyes will be on Tottenham’s performances in Europe and whether Postecoglou can deliver the results needed to secure his future. One thing is certain: the coming weeks will be crucial for both the manager and the club as they look to navigate a challenging period and restore pride to North London.
