Former Barcelona boss eyeing Premier League challange amidst Tottenham links

Postecoglou’s run to the final has not only silenced doubters but also offered a glimmer of hope to a fanbase starved of success.

Xavi wants to manage in the Premier League as Tottenham links circulate

Despite leading Tottenham Hotspur to the Europa League final, Ange Postecoglou’s future at N17 remains uncertain. Reports suggest that the Australian’s position is hanging by a thread, with chairman Daniel Levy reportedly prepared to part ways with the 59-year-old regardless of the outcome in the European final.

While a Europa League triumph would end Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought and secure Champions League football next season, it may not be enough to save Postecoglou’s job. Spurs have already drawn up a shortlist of potential managerial replacements, indicating that Levy is considering a major shake-up in the dugout.

The Lilywhites are linked with a move former Barcelona manager Xavi as they see the Spaniard as the perfect replacement for Ange Postecoglou. Now, to add fuel to the fire, Xavi has also given a verdict about his future in management. Speaking to the Athletic (via Metro), the Spaniard said,

“There’s no hurry for me, but I’d like a good project. Like, ‘You have four years to work and make a project’. I’d love to work in the Premier League because I love the passion there. In Spain, it’s too much about the result.”

Xavi has expressed his desire to return to management and has set his sights on leading a Premier League club in the future. The former Barcelona boss emphasized that he is looking for a well-structured project where he can implement his philosophy over time. Xavi noted that English clubs are often more patient with managers, focusing on building a project rather than demanding immediate results, a factor that makes the Premier League particularly appealing to him.

Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou still has a chance to secure his future at Tottenham Hotspur. The Australian has positioned himself well by guiding Spurs to the Europa League final, but his fate remains uncertain. Despite Postecoglou’s recent success, chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly begun exploring alternatives, preparing for the possibility of a managerial change.

According to sources, Levy has already drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements, including Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, Fulham boss Marco Silva, and Crystal Palace coach Oliver Glasner. With negotiations reportedly underway, it appears that Levy is leaving no stone unturned as he contemplates the future of the Spurs dugout.

For Postecoglou, the final represents a defining moment, a chance to silence his critics and solidify his legacy at N17. While speculation about his job continues to swirl, his sole focus now is on bringing a major trophy back to Tottenham and restoring some much-needed pride to the club and its supporters.
