Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham Hotspur remains unclear despite guiding the club to their first major trophy in 17 years.
Daniel Levy could yet sack Postecoglou, although the Australian manager has asked to be given more time to prove he can keep winning at the North London club.
The former Celtic boss promised that season three at Tottenham would be even better than the second campaign, which ended in the club securing the Europa League title.
The pressure is now on Levy with Spurs fans having sung Postecoglou’s name in the game against Brighton.
Ian Wright has now had his say on the matter in N17 and he has revealed what he really thinks about the 59-year-old having previously worked with him.
Ian Wright issues verdict on Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou
Wright has revealed that he is a big fan of Ange Postecoglou as a person, having had the chance to work with him as a pundit.
The pair worked together during the Australian’s short stint as a pundit on ITV Football during Euro 2024 last summer.
The Arsenal legend claims that Postecoglou is a ‘really lovely bloke’ and seems hopeful that he will be given the time to turn Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League fortunes around next season.
Wright told Wrighty’s House Podcast: “I was pleased for them. And you know, hopefully this is a springboard for Ange, simply because I worked with him in the Euros and he’s a really lovely bloke.
“I spent a lot of time with him. And how he is and how you feel your perception of him is probably, he’s just a normal bloke. He’s just coaching, doing the best he can, just have a pint.”
Will Daniel Levy actually give Ange Postecoglou more time at Tottenham?
Currently, Levy has gone on holiday, as has Postecoglou, and therefore any decision over the manager’s future at Spurs has been placed on hold.
Tottenham have been eyeing replacements for their manager across the Premier League season if they opt to sack him.
Oliver Glasner has ruled himself out of the running by suggesting he will remain at Crystal Palace next season.
Elsewhere, Tottenham have previously approached Gian Piero Gasperini and the Italian is now back on the market after leaving Atalanta.
