GOOD NEWS;Tottenham’s board reveal the sack of Ange Postecoglou after Europa League loss

TBR Football understands that Tottenham Hotspur’s hierarchy were ‘deeply concerned’ by their result against AZ Alkmaar and have told Ange Postecoglou that the result was unacceptable

Postecoglou has been under a lot of external pressure this season as many have called for the Australian to be sacked amid Tottenham’s poor run of form.

However, Tottenham have stuck by Postecoglou so far, and the message out of Tottenham has largely been that of sympathy amid Spurs’ recent injury crisis.

Unfortunately for Postecoglou, that sympathy can only go so far, and after Tottenham’s defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League this week, the pressure is amping up on the Australian.

What Tottenham have told Ange Postecoglou after AZ Alkmaar loss

According to TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey, Tottenham have told Ange Postecoglou that this week’s result was unacceptable and there is a deep concern around this defeat.

Spurs have nothing else to play for this season other than the Europa League. The competition is the primary focus given the winner will gain entry to the Champions League – something that Tottenham will be unable to accomplish via the Premier League.

Tottenham have provided constant backing for manager Ange Postecoglou – pointing out the injuries the squad has sustained this season as a primary reason for their relatively dismal campaign.

However, as TBR Football has previously revealed – some sections of Spurs’ hierarchy have felt that a change of head coach could be required and work has been done on possible alternatives.

As we confirmed Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Fulham’s Marco Silva are all names that have been discussed within the corridors of power at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and all are admired for the work they have and are currently doing.

Iraola is stalling on a new Bournemouth contract as things stand.
