Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is still expected to leave the club in the coming weeks, according to Miguel Delaney’s ‘Reading the Game’ newsletter.
The 2024/25 Premier League season was a dire one for Spurs, who lost a staggering 22 games out of a possible 38. Were it not for the trio of promoted sides being relegated long before the campaign’s end, then Spurs could have been in a genuine relegation battle, almost unthinkable for a club of their stature.
Exits from both domestic cups combined with such poor form in the league has seen pressure rise on manager Ange Postecoglou all season. The Australian was, at least from the turn of the year, entirely reliant on the Europa League, a competition in which the Lilywhites looked like a different team.
For all of their problems last season, Postecoglou finally ended Spurs’ 17-year long trophy drought, guiding Spurs to the Europa League title by beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final. Postecoglou looked set to leave Spurs at the end of the season regardless, but now many are wondering whether Tottenham can really part ways with the man who, finally, ended their time without a trophy.
Now, it would appear that there has been an update on Postecoglou’s immediate future.
Still ‘No Official Decision’ on Postecoglou
Australian looks set to depart
Writing in his ‘Reading the Game’ newsletter, Miguel Delaney has explained that, while Spurs have not yet reached an official decision regarding Postecoglou’s future, it still looks likely that the Australian will depart. Delaney said:
“As of Friday morning, Tottenham Hotspur still hadn’t made an official decision on Ange Postecoglou but the chances of staying had apparently gone down from last week’s ‘five percent.’ His departure is still expected, whenever that may be.”
Tottenham have been linked with a number of managers that could replace Postecoglou, who looks all but certain to leave the North London club. Given their form in the Premier League, it would perhaps be best for Postecoglou to depart having done the job he was drafted in to do, finally winning Spurs another trophy.
