Tottenham Hotspur hit their highest high in a generation last week as they won the Europa League.
Indeed, Spurs ended their 17-year trophy drought last week, but, despite that, there’s still a real element of unrest and uncertainty at Tottenham.
Ange Postecoglou’s future remains up in the air, and while some think Postecoglou could stay, it would appear that those within Spurs don’t see things the same way.
Daniel Levy is on holiday right now, but once he’s back, he has a decision to make, and according to Miguel Delaney, writing in his newsletter for The Independent, it sounds like Postecoglou could well go.
Ange Postecoglou has a less than 5% chance of staying at Tottenham
Delaney shared what he’s been hearing about Postecoglou.
The journalist noted that no decision has yet been made on the Australian, but, at one point last week, he appeared to have a 5% chance of staying at Spurs.
However, those chances have now seemingly reduced even further.
“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 “5 per cent”. His departure is still expected, whenever that may be,” Delaney wrote.
What happened to other Tottenham trophy-winning managers
Tottenham could be set to sack the manager who delivered their first trophy in 17 years. And, on face value, that looks like a crazy decision.
However, Tottenham’s league form has been poor, and there’s only so much credit in the bank a trophy win can get you.
Spurs have been quick to pull the trigger on previous managers who won trophies as well.
Juande Ramos was gone within a year of winning the League Cup, George Graham lasted less than two years, while Keith Burkinshaw left the club immediately after winning the UEFA Cup in 1984.
Postecoglou’s job is not safe, and there could well be some news emerging in the coming days confirming his fate.
