Tottenham insider: Daniel Levy has made Postecoglou sack decision – ‘It’s done’
Tottenham Hotspur appear headed for a significant summer shake-up, with growing indications that manager Ange Postecoglou may not be the only high-profile departure from N17.
While speculation continues to mount about the Australian’s precarious position, fresh reports suggest Chief Football Officer Scott Munn could also be facing an uncertain future at the club.
The Telegraph reveals that Munn’s role has come under scrutiny following the appointment of former Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham as Tottenham’s new Chief Executive Officer.
Club sources indicate the 51-year-old executive, who only joined Spurs in summer 2023 shortly before Postecoglou’s arrival, may find himself surplus to requirements if – as many expect – the manager departs at season’s end.
Potential Tottenham Hierarchy Restructure
| Current Structure | Proposed Changes | Key Implications |
|---|---|---|
| Daniel Levy (Chairman) Scott Munn (CFO) Ange Postecoglou (Manager) | Daniel Levy (Chairman) Vinai Venkatesham (CEO) New Manager | Reduced role for Munn Venkatesham overseeing football operations Clearer chain of command |
Venkatesham’s impending arrival signals a strategic shift in Tottenham’s leadership model. Multiple reports confirm the former Arsenal executive will assume comprehensive control over both football and business operations, effectively becoming Daniel Levy’s right-hand man.
This restructure would inevitably diminish Munn’s influence, potentially rendering his position redundant despite having served just one season in his current capacity.
The developments come against the backdrop of increasing pressure on Postecoglou, with some sources suggesting even Europa League glory might not be enough to save his job.
Fabrizio Romano and other respected journalists have reported that Tottenham are already laying groundwork for a managerial change, with the club’s dismal Premier League form (17 losses in 32 games) undermining the Australian’s project.
Should both Postecoglou and Munn depart, it would represent a complete overhaul of Tottenham’s football operations within twelve months of their appointments.
The potential exits highlight the ruthless nature of modern football management, where disappointing results can trigger chain reactions throughout a club’s hierarchy.
As Tottenham prepare for a pivotal summer, all eyes remain on whether Postecoglou can salvage his position through European success.
However, with Venkatesham waiting in the wings and Munn’s future increasingly uncertain, the North London club appears destined for significant structural changes regardless of what happens on the pitch in their remaining fixtures.
