Tottenham Hotspur Consider Managerial Change Amidst Premier League Struggles
- Tottenham Hotspur’s current Premier League campaign has been underwhelming, with the team positioned 14th in the standings.
- Speculation suggests a potential managerial alteration at the season’s conclusion.
Ange Postecoglou’s tenure as Tottenham Hotspur manager is reportedly under scrutiny following a challenging Premier League season. The club is allegedly exploring potential replacements, with a current Premier League manager topping their list of candidates. Spurs have struggled throughout the season and are currently languishing in 14th place in the league table after a string of disappointing results.
Postecoglou’s Position Under Pressure
Postecoglou has faced mounting pressure for a significant portion of the season as Tottenham have underperformed expectations. The team’s current standing at 14th in the Premier League, with 15 defeats in 29 fixtures, reflects a season of inconsistency.
Fan sentiment regarding his future is reportedly divided, and recent reports indicate that the club may consider a change in management during the summer break. Potential targets are already being assessed as Tottenham evaluates its options.

Trophy的目标与赛季表现 (Trophy Targets and Season Performance)
Earlier in the year, Postecoglou declared his ambition to secure silverware in his second season in charge. However, with the season progressing, only the Europa League remains as a viable avenue to fulfill that objective after exits from domestic cup competitions.
Tottenham’s Premier League campaign has been described as dismal, compounded by early exits from both the FA Cup and EFL Cup. This leaves the Europa League as their sole opportunity to claim a trophy this season.
To secure Champions League qualification for the next season, Tottenham must emerge victorious in the Europa League. Failure to do so could prompt the club to consider Andoni Iraola as a replacement, according to reports from The Athletic.
Potential Managerial Candidates
Andoni Iraola – Leading Candidate
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham future is reportedly uncertain, according to recent reports.
Andoni Iraola (right) is reportedly the primary target, while Marco Silva (left) is also considered a potential option.
Brentford’s Thomas Frank is believed to be a third option, should Tottenham decide to make a managerial change in the summer.
Iraola has been credited with orchestrating a significant turnaround at Bournemouth since his arrival at the beginning of last season. After guiding them to a 12th-place finish in the previous campaign, Bournemouth currently sit 10th in the league standings, just four points adrift of a Champions League qualification spot.
Iraola is expected to be a sought-after manager in the near future. Bournemouth currently sit 10 points ahead of Tottenham in the Premier League table and are also preparing for an FA Cup quarter-final.
The Spanish manager has one year remaining on his contract with Bournemouth. Tottenham would reportedly need to activate his £10 million release clause to secure his services.
Postecoglou also has a year left on his current contract, with the club holding an option to extend for a fourth season.
Marco Silva and Thomas Frank – Other Options
Iraola is not the sole candidate under consideration for Tottenham. Two other Premier League managers, Marco Silva and Thomas Frank, are also reportedly being evaluated.
Silva’s Fulham are currently positioned eighth in the league table, while Frank’s Brentford are in 11th place. Both managers have successfully established their respective clubs as consistent Premier League teams after achieving promotion from the Championship.
Silva, who was reportedly considered when Postecoglou was initially appointed, is believed to be the second choice behind Iraola. However, Fulham are reportedly confident in retaining Silva.
Upcoming Fixtures
All three managers are set to return to Premier League action this weekend following the international break. Tottenham will face Chelsea, Fulham will travel to Arsenal, and Brentford will play against Newcastle at St James’ Park.
