Ange Postecoglou sack Exclusive: Tottenham board update today
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou still has the backing of the board and club chiefs – for now – after a chastening week, sources have told Football Insider.
Spurs exited the League Cup and FA Cup in the space of four days at the hands of Liverpool and Aston Villa respectively.
However, sources say there is still sympathy for Postecoglou over the club’s injury crisis despite sack pressure building for the Australian boss.
He went on the defensive after the loss at Villa Park with a passionate defence of his depleted squad – insisting his team will be “outstanding” once back to full strength.
Tottenham won’t make knee-jerk Postecoglou sack decision
Tottenham will make no knee-jerk reaction to recent results but it is clear results will have to improve in the coming weeks.
The Lilywhites face three Premier League fixtures in February against Man United, Ipswich Town and Man City.
Postecoglou’s side currently sit 14th in the English top-flight but did progress directly to the last 16 in the Europa League after finishing fourth in the league phase.
Tottenham currently have around 11 first-team players on the treatment table but the manager has come in for criticism over his tactical decisions.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp claimed Postecoglou has caused bafflement with his tactics amid the disastrous run of results for Spurs.
Levy also under fire at Tottenham after January window
Tottenham have won five of their 11 games in 2025 so far but have emerged victorious in just one from five in the Premier League this year.
Club chairman Daniel Levy has endured chanting for his departure from supporters over a perceived lack of backing for Postecoglou in the transfer market.
Tottenham made a club-record bid for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi in January – but that move has been described by ex-Everton CEO Keith Wyness as a “PR stunt” from Levy.
Spurs added Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel in the mid-season window to remedy their injury problems.
