Tottenham Hotspur have been highly struggling in the Premier League in the ongoing campaign, and the frustrations among the supporters have been growing and growing, especially following the Lilywhites recent 3-2 loss to Everton at Goodison Park (last weekend), which was Spurs 12th league defeat this season, and now the Australian head coach faces the wrath of a possible sack.

A while section of North Londoners supporters at White Hart Lane are of the opinion that the former Celtic manager should be shown the door through Hotspur Way alongside pundits, with Richard Keys suggesting that Postecoglou’s sack feels “inevitable” if the results don’t improve.

And although Daniel Levy is reportedly standing by his coach for now, the chiefs at N17 have already been prepping for a probable plan if they were to sack Ange, and among the potential candidates for the managerial post would be Brentford’s boss, Thomas Frank, with Sami Mokbel reporting via the Daily Mail that Technical Director Johan Lange is an admirer of Frank.

Frank is not the only one…

It is not only Frank, though; should the Lilywhites part ways with the Australian, Thomas Frank isn’t the only name being linked to the role, with Italian tactician Massimiliano Allegri also reportedly being considered by Levy. Bournemouth’s Iraola is another candidate alongside former Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic.

There are ample options that Levy has if he were to choose to sack Postecoglou, but it is to be seen if the club chairman goes on to get rid of Ange given how Tottenham has started a new project at N17 under his tutelage.
