The Telegraph’s Football News Correspondent Matt Law exclusively broke the news, in the aftermath of Postecoglou’s 18th Premier League defeat of the season to Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forrest, managed by ex-Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Despite winning 1-0 away in Germany against Eintracht Frankfurt last Thursday, setting up a semi-final tie against Bodo/Glimt starting next week, the report suggests that even winning the competition may not be enough to save the 59-year-old manager from a parting of the ways this summer.

The article claims that sources have suggested that one of Postecoglou’s “key allies” – chief football officer Scott Munn – will leave the club. Spurs have already confirmed ex-Arsenal chief executive Vinai Venkatesham will join the club this summer.
Law’s report also mentions Fulham and Bournemouth managers Marco Silva and Andoni Iraola as potential replacements, with the latter previously being linked to Celtic prior to his move to the Cherries.
Postecoglou earned his move to North London after two successful seasons as manager of Celtic, following the exit of Neil Lennon in 2021. In his first season, he won a Scottish Premiership and League Cup double, before completing the treble the following season shortly before his departure.
He was credited with bringing expansive, attack-oriented football to the club, as well as signing modern-day heroes such as Kyogo Furuhashi, Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda after his spell in Japan with J1 League side Yokohama F Marinos.
Postecoglou was previously Australia's national team manager from 2013-2017, before moving to Japan the following year.
