The futures of both Cristian Romero and Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur remain rather uncertain.
Tottenham are considering whether to sack the Australian manager, however, Postecoglou has asked for more time from Daniel Levy to prove he can still turn the team’s Premier League fortunes around.
The 59-year-old guided Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years as they won the Europa League, but despite winning the silverware, he is still awaiting clarity over his job.
Meanwhile, what is next for vice-captain Cristian Romero also remains up in the air, with the defender being strongly linked with a move to Spain.
Ange Postecoglou and Cristian Romero’s future is linked
Romero will push to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer if they were to sack Ange Postecoglou, according to journalist Ruben Uria.
Equally, should Postecoglou remain in charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, it is expected that the Argentine international would likely stay for at least another season.
Romero has been linked to Atletico Madrid and it is being reported that he is keen to live in the Spanish capital, working with Diego Simeone.
Uria told ElDesmarque: “The key is who will be the Tottenham manager. If Postecoglou stays, I think Cuti won’t leave. Now, if there’s a change of coach, Cuti will do everything possible to leave.
“He wants to live in Madrid, not London. He wants to play for Atleti and has already spoken several times with Cholo Simeone.
“A meeting is planned between Miguel Angel Gil Marin and Levy to find out if they can sit down and negotiate or if the player will stay in London.”
After the Europa League final, Romero hinted that he wanted to stay at Tottenham and continue with the project that was ongoing in N17, with Postecoglou at the helm.
When will Tottenham decide Ange Postecoglou’s future?
Levy is currently on holiday, as is Postecoglou, and therefore any decision on the manager’s future is not expected to arrive until some time next week.
A recent report suggested Postecoglou’s chances of staying had increased in the last few hours, which suggests Levy’s stance over sacking him was starting to change.
The Spurs chairman needs to consider the reaction of his playing squad if he was to relieve Postecoglou from his duties as manager.
There seems to be a strong bond between the player and manager, which now needs to be built on, rather than another rebuild.
