Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs Era Nears a Bitter End—Even Glory Won’t Save Him
So, it looks like the Ange Postecoglou era at Tottenham is coming to a dramatic close—and honestly, it feels like the writing’s been on the wall for a while now. Despite the Aussie manager guiding Spurs into the Europa League semi-finals, reports are swirling that even lifting the trophy won’t be enough to keep him in the job. That’s right—even if he delivers their first piece of silverware in 17 years, it appears his fate is already sealed.
It’s a rough reality for Postecoglou, who came into the club with high hopes and a reputation as a bold, attacking manager. But let’s face it—this Premier League campaign has been nothing short of a disaster. After Monday night’s 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest, Spurs are sitting 16th in the table with 18 defeats on the books. One more, and they match their all-time worst record for losses in a Premier League season. That’s a statistic nobody wants attached to their name.
There’s been tension in the air for weeks now, and Ange himself hasn’t exactly dodged the pressure. He’s been pretty upfront about not knowing whether he’ll be around next season, openly admitting he “couldn’t care less” about speculation over his job. His stance? You either believe in him as a manager now, or you never did. Fair play to him for staying defiant—but the board doesn’t seem to share his confidence.
Tottenham’s leadership, especially technical director Johan Lange, is already eyeing alternatives. Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Fulham’s Marco Silva, and even a possible Mauricio Pochettino return are all being thrown into the mix. Meanwhile, Postecoglou’s closest ally at the club, football officer Scott Munn, is reportedly on his way out too—which only tightens the noose.
What’s painful in all of this is that Postecoglou really wanted to fight through it. He spoke with passion before the Frankfurt win, saying he wasn’t going to let a golden opportunity slip away without a battle. And that’s exactly what he’s doing—fighting to the last breath. But when the decisions are being made in boardrooms rather than on the pitch, sometimes even heart and grit aren’t enough.

For Aussie football fans, the question now becomes: what’s next for Ange? Wherever he ends up, you can bet he won’t go quietly.
Ange Postecoglou Set for Spurs Exit Despite Europa League Hopes
So, it looks like Ange Postecoglou’s time at Tottenham Hotspur is winding down—whether he lifts the Europa League trophy or not. It's a bit surreal to say out loud, but here we are. The Aussie manager, who came in with so much promise and excitement, is reportedly on the chopping block regardless of how this season finishes.
Now let’s be honest, it’s been a nightmare Premier League campaign for Spurs. They're sitting a dismal 16th on the table, having already racked up 18 losses. One more, and they match their all-time worst record from the 2003-04 season. Monday’s 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest was dubbed a “car crash” and honestly, it felt like the wheels had completely fallen off. There’s just this aura of inevitable doom surrounding Ange’s tenure right now.
What’s wild though is that Tottenham still have a legitimate shot at silverware. They beat Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-finals, and now they’re gearing up to face Bodo/Glimt in the semis. If they somehow go all the way and win it, it would end a 17-year trophy drought for the club. You’d think that might be enough to buy Ange some time, right? Nope.
Reports from the Telegraph and The Sun are pretty clear—Spurs’ hierarchy has already decided to pull the plug. Even if he brings home the Europa League, Ange is out. And that’s rough, because you can see he’s still fighting. He’s been vocal, even defiant in press conferences, saying things like, “If you don’t think I’m a good coach today, you won’t tomorrow,” and stressing that one match doesn’t define his ability. It’s that classic Ange fire—head held high even when the storm’s brewing.
But Spurs seem ready to move on. Names like Andoni Iraola from Bournemouth, Fulham’s Marco Silva, and even former boss Mauricio Pochettino are being tossed around as replacements. It’s a sign that the club’s looking to reset entirely. And to make matters worse, Postecoglou’s closest ally at the club—Scott Munn, the chief football officer—is reportedly getting the axe too. It’s like the ground is shifting under Ange’s feet with no stable footing left.
What’s next for him? That’s the million-dollar question. He’s too proud, too experienced, and honestly too talented to stay unemployed for long. Whether it’s another European club or a return closer to home, there’s no doubt Ange will land on his feet. But for now, it’s looking more and more like his chapter at Tottenham is closing—no matter how the final pages read.
Tough end to a wild ride.
