Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou looks all set to head for pastures new in the summer

One might say what more can Ange Postecoglou do to save his job at Tottenham? The Australian managed to exceed all expectations and ended the club’s long-standing trophy drought earlier last week. His team won the Europa League against all odds by beating Manchester United in the final at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao.

You can also argue that Big Ange managed to achieve all the objectives set to him at the start of the season. The Lilywhites won a major trophy, developed young players along the way, and qualified for Champions League football for next season. The only stain in that dampens these achievements is the fact that the North London club finished the Premier League season just a place above the relegation zone.

It was reported earlier that Daniel Levy was leaning towards sacking Big Ange in the summer, despite the Europa League success. But a decision on the Australian’s future is yet to be made, and many fans believe that the Spurs chairman is having second doubts about sacking the ex-Celtic boss. The Europa League trophy parade last week also proved that the fans were backing Ange Postecoglou to turn the club’s fortunes around.

Miguel Delaney believes Tottenham will part ways with Ange Postecoglou

Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham is generating a lot of headlines in recent weeks. The Europa League success is still deemed to not be enough for Big Ange to save his job at N17. But it is fair to say that the Australian is still backing himself and believes that he is the right man to lead the club forward as they look to build on the Europa League success next season.

Now, reliable journalist Miguel Delaney has given his verdict on Big Ange’s future as D-Day looms large at Hotspur Way. Writing in his ‘Reading the Game’ newsletter (via GIVEMESPORT), Delaney said,

“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 ‘five percent.’ His departure is still expected, whenever that may be.”

Miguel Delaney insists that Tottenham have still not made an official decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future at N17. However, the reliable journalist insists that Big Ange’s chances to be at the helm are diminishing as days go by and an announcement regarding his departure is expected soon.

Now that Daniel Levy looks to have made up his mind about Ange Postecoglou’s fate at Hotspur Way, the Lilywhites must focus on bringing in a new manager to take over the reins for next season. Former Ajax boss Francesco Farioli and Fulham manager Marco Silva are believed to be the frontrunners to replace Big Ange at the helm and kickstart a new era at the club.
