football.london Writers Share Their Verdict on Postecoglou’s Future Following Leicester Defeat

Ange Postecoglou is under significant pressure at Tottenham following a disappointing Premier League defeat to Leicester.

Richarlison gave Spurs the lead at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, but two quick-fire goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss in the second half turned the game around.

The loss extended Tottenham’s winless run in the Premier League to seven matches.

Despite a victory over Hoffenheim in the Europa League earlier in the week, Tottenham’s poor performance against a newly-promoted team raised doubts about Postecoglou’s future.

After this latest setback, questions are being asked about whether his time in north London could be coming to a close.

Football.london’s writers have shared their opinions on whether the Australian manager should be dismissed.

Kieran Horn I have been a strong supporter of Postecoglou in recent weeks, but things need to change.

From the past few weeks, it’s clear that chairman Daniel Levy and sporting director Johan Lange won’t be backing the team in the January transfer window.

The absence of James Maddison highlighted the squad’s fatigue, yet no reinforcements have arrived.

While transfer decisions aren’t solely to blame, Spurs have been inconsistent and often poor for some time.

Though sacking a manager doesn’t automatically solve problems—players won’t suddenly recover from injuries, and a fatigued squad won’t be revitalized—it may be the only way to force change.

After the defeat to Everton, possible replacements for Postecoglou don’t seem particularly inspiring, and bigger names might be reluctant to manage Tottenham.

Ultimately, the club may need to stick with Postecoglou, especially since the players seem to still support him, though their performances suggest otherwise.

James Quinlan This is a tough question. On one hand, it’s proven that managers in the Premier League need time to implement their ideas, and Postecoglou hasn’t had nearly enough. On the other hand, he can’t escape criticism.

The injuries are a result of his methods in training and matches, and in the face of these issues, he has failed to adjust the system, continuing to play risky football.

What’s the point of scoring three if you’re just going to concede four? He hasn’t handled the situation well.

His project deserves time and backing, but Postecoglou is making it increasingly difficult for himself to remain in good standing with the board and supporters.
