Recently sacked Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou may already find his way back into management, despite only being given the boot over the weekend - with reports suggesting that one Premier League side are interested in appointing him as boss should an opportunity come to bring him into their ranks.

Postecoglou recorded Tottenham's worst-ever campaign in Premier League history this time around, only mustering 38 points and a 17th-placed finish in the top-flight, a season that included 22 losses and just 11 wins - with only the bottom three of Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton suffering more losses and recording fewer wins than the Lilywhites.

Report: Postecoglou 'a Target' for Another Premier League Club

The Greek-Australian gaffer had a poor campaign but could get a second bite at the cherry

Despite taking European success via a win in the Europa League, ending Tottenham's 17-year wait for silverware, a shambolic domestic campaign meant that Daniel Levy couldn't afford to take a chance for next season amid their backdoor qualification to the Champions League.

That has seen Postecoglou gone, and he is on the managerial scrapheap for the first time in almost eight years after spells at Yokohama F. Marinos, Celtic and Spurs.

However, a report by the Daily Mail states that despite Tottenham sacking Postecoglou on Friday after his poor domestic campaign, an unnamed Premier League club have already made him a target to come into their dugout - with the Greek-Australian gaffer's credentials via a fifth-placed finish last season evidently holding credit in the bank.

Boasting a fast, possession-heavy style of football, Postecoglou's tactics are superb for a team who are expected to dominate the ball and put their opponents under strenuous, tireless work to win the ball back - which we saw in the Scottish Premiership and his first season in north London, where Tottenham were top of the Premier League table after 10 matches with 26 points from 30 games.

However, some tumultuous form saw them struggle to get a hold of the title and even though they entered mid-February with just five losses to their name in the league, and firmly in the top-four race, Spurs finished three points short of Aston Villa in the top-four race.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Ange Postecoglou has won 414 of his 783 games in charge of Tottenham.

But with a superb goalscoring record, Postecoglou could thrive elsewhere - and that could be in the Premier League if he is appointed back to the top-flight by another club.
