Fabrizio Romano Provides Insight on Ange Postecoglou’s Future at Tottenham
Fabrizio Romano: Tottenham Stand by Ange Postecoglou as January Window Becomes Crucial to Revival
Tottenham’s Struggles Under Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday extended a difficult period, with the team managing just one win in their last seven Premier League matches.
This poor run of form has left Spurs in 11th place, far below the expectations of fans who hoped to challenge for a top-four spot.
After 19 games, Tottenham find themselves 11 points adrift of fourth place, a concerning gap for a team with ambitions of European football.
A key factor in their struggles has been a spate of injuries to crucial players, which has hindered Ange Postecoglou’s ability to implement his attacking philosophy.
These absences have placed immense pressure on the squad as they attempt to halt their decline in form.
Club Backing for Postecoglou
Despite the disappointing results, Tottenham’s hierarchy remains steadfast in their support for Ange Postecoglou.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the club sees the upcoming January transfer window as a critical opportunity to strengthen the squad rather than considering a managerial change.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Romano stated: “It’s obviously a difficult situation, but what I’m hearing is that Tottenham keep supporting and trusting Ange Postecoglou.
The January window is going to be important. Obviously, they need to do something.”
Focus on Defensive Reinforcements
As the January transfer window approaches, Tottenham are expected to prioritize bolstering their defensive line.
One potential target is Borussia Monchengladbach’s Ko Itakura, a versatile Japanese international whose contract will have 18 months remaining in January.
While Itakura is not yet identified as Tottenham’s top priority, sources suggest the club is considering a move for the defender to address their ongoing defensive issues.
The challenge for Spurs lies not just in acquiring new players but also in quickly integrating them into Postecoglou’s system, which demands both tactical intelligence and technical skill.
While the Australian manager has a history of building cohesive teams, the pressure to deliver results is mounting as the season progresses.
Tottenham’s ability to navigate these challenges in the second half of the season will be pivotal in determining whether they can salvage their campaign and restore faith among their supporters.
