Under pressure: Which Big Six Premier League manager could be next to go?
Several managers in the Premier League’s Big Six are under pressure, but who will be the next to face the sack?
The Australian coach is facing increased pressure after his side suffered a 2-1 loss to the Foxes on January 26th, 2025. Tottenham had taken the lead early on but were pegged back by two quick goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannous just after half-time. The result left fans frustrated and raised serious questions about Postecoglou's future at the club.
Postecoglou's project at Tottenham, which began with high hopes, has lost momentum in recent weeks. The Spurs have struggled for consistency and have been unable to challenge for the top spots in the Premier League. Despite some promising attacking play, defensive lapses and a lack of clear ideas in crucial moments have cost the team valuable points.
Replacement Options
Following the defeat to Leicester City, rumors of a potential managerial change have intensified. Sources close to the club suggest that Tottenham have already informed Postecoglou that his position is under threat. The loss to Leicester appears to have been the final straw for the club's hierarchy, who are now actively considering alternative options.
One name that has been linked with the Tottenham job is Erik ten Hag, who was recently sacked by Manchester United. Ten Hag's experience and ability to rebuild teams could make him an attractive option for Tottenham, who are seeking stability and immediate results. However, no final decision has been made, and Postecoglou remains in charge for the time being.
Crucial Days Ahead
The next few days will be crucial for Postecoglou's future. The club cannot afford to prolong a situation of uncertainty, as it could have a negative impact on the team's performance. In the meantime, fans will be hoping that the club makes the right decision to restore Tottenham to the upper echelons of English football and secure a place in European competition.
