Tottenham Hotspur fans are now waiting for an official communication from the club regarding Ange Postecoglou’s future, and a new report has now suggested that they will not have to wait for long.
It has been widely reported by a few outlets over the last week that Postecoglou is expected to be sacked by Spurs despite delivering the Europa League trophy to the club.
However, it was alleged by Gianluca Di Marzio on Saturday that the tide is turning at Tottenham Hotspur in the Australian’s favour and that Postecoglou’s chances of keeping his job had increased.
Amidst these contradictory updates, a new report has revealed when the Lilywhites will finalise their decision on their managerial role.
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham fate will become clear very soon
According to The Telegraph, Postecoglou will learn whether he will get a third season at Tottenham this coming week.
The report says that the Australian’s position remains under extreme risk despite the European success, with the team’s poor showing in the Premier League causing the North Londoners to assess other managers.
The 59-year-old is currently on holiday while Levy has also been away from the UK since the end of the season. A change of manager is anticipated by this coming week, along with some major changes across various departments at the club.

Given Postecoglou’s popularity among Spurs fans and Levy’s lack of it, a decision to sack the Australian will not go down well with the club’s fan base.
However, if Spurs stick with the former Celtic boss and have a poor or indifferent start to the season, the pitchforks will once again be out against the Tottenham board next term.
The idea that winning the trophy alone is enough to justify keeping Postecoglou falls flat when one realises that the last Spurs head coach to win a trophy was Juande Ramos.
League finish is a much better metric of how consistent a team is and the Tottenham top brass may decide that a 17th-place finish is simply unacceptable, irrespective of the extenuating circumstances.
