Over two weeks on from Tottenham Hotspur’s triumph in Bilbao and still there is no clarification over who will be the manager next season.
Daniel Levy could sack Ange Postecoglou despite the Australian coach guiding Tottenham to their first major trophy since 2008.
Levy’s decision on Postecoglou’s future is expected to arrive this week, however, fans remain in the dark as to who will be on the touchline at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.
The latest has now been revealed on the situation, and a Spurs insider has revealed an ‘absolutely mad’ detail from the situation.
Ange Postecoglou remains in the dark over Daniel Levy’s decision
Postecoglou and his Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff remain in the dark over Levy’s decision to sack him or not, according to Alasdair Gold.
Currently, the 59-year-old is still on holiday, although Levy has returned from his break. But at this stage, Postecoglou is unaware as to whether he is still in the job.
Gold told Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham: “From what I understand, people around the club, Postecoglou and his staff still have no idea whether they are going to be continuing in their roles for the coming season or not, there’s been no indication either way. That’s absolutely mad, it really is.”
“From what I understand, Daniel Levy had a holiday for a post-season break, but he’s back now. I think Postecoglou’s still away, until the end of this week or early next week. Something should have been made clear now.”
TBR Football understands that Tottenham have spoken to other managers, which suggests that Levy has been strongly considering the change of coach.
Thomas Frank appears to be the leading contender to get the job should the Spurs board opt to remove their current manager from his role.
How much Tottenham would have to pay to sack Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham would have to pay in the region of £4 million to sack Postecoglou, plus the £2 million bonus he is owed from winning the Europa League, according to the Telegraph.
The former Celtic manager has two years left on his current deal in North London, and terms of his exit were agreed before he took the job.
However, Levy has had to fork out much more previously to get rid of managers, especially for Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho.
Spurs paid £12.5 million to remove Pochettino as manager in 2019, before shelling out £16 million to also sack his replacement, Mourinho, two years later.
The Lilywhites will also need to factor in the costs of appointing a new manager and his staff, especially if they are going to pay a release clause, like in the case of Frank at Brentford.
