‘Kieran McKenna emerges as Tottenham replacement after Ange Postecoglou sack’

Tottenham face a big managerial decision on Ange Postecoglou in the coming weeks and a new name has emerged in the running to take over.6

It has been a dismal season in the Premier League for Spurs, who currently sit 16th in the top-flight standings, having lost 18 of their 33 league games.

They do still have hope of a trophy and qualification for the Champions League, with the club beating Eintracht Frankfurt last week to ensure they have progressed to the semi finals of the Europa League.

Despite that, there is a growing expectation that Tottenham will sack Postecoglou even if they win the Europa League at the end of the season.

Ipswich Town boss emerges as new Spurs target

A number of Premier League managers have already been discussed as potential replacements for Postecoglou in North London.

It is understood that Tottenham are considering triggering the release clause of Thomas Frank at Brentford as they search for a potential successor in the dugout.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth are believed to be working on a new contract for Andoni Iraola after the Cherries boss refused an approach from Spurs.

Now another candidate to have emerged as a potential replacement for Postecoglou is Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna.

It looks as though the 38-year-old’s side will suffer an immediate relegation from the Premier League this season.

Despite that, the former Man United coach has now been named as a contender to become the next Tottenham manager.

Speaking on talkSPORT about those who are potential candidates to replace Postecoglou at Spurs, including promoted Burnley’s Scott Parker, journalist Alex Crook noted: “So’s Kieran McKenna, and I wouldn’t completely rule that one out.”
