Ange Postecoglou’s job is reportedly safe for now, but the Australian’s future is expected to be dictated by the results of two matches that Tottenham have coming up over the next months.
Despite Tottenham’s continued struggles, reports indicate that the club are not looking for a new head coach, although there is an expectation that results would have to be turned around soon.
That might be down to the fact that the decision-makers at Spurs are sympathetic to the injury crisis that the Australian is having to deal with at the moment.
However, it has now emerged that Spurs will have to produce a favourable result in two upcoming matches if the 59-year-old is to be safe in his job.
This update comes from The Daily Mail, who say that the fact that Tottenham are still going strong in the Carabao Cup and Europa League is working in Postecoglou‘s favour.
With Spurs not having tasted silverware since 2008, it is revealed that the hierarchy will view winning a trophy this season as a major success.
That is why Tottenham’s upcoming two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool is expected to have a major influence on how the club view Postecoglou’s position.
If Spurs are not able to get through to the Wembley final and the team’s form in the league does not show a dramatic improvement, the Spurs boss could find himself out of the job.
The first leg of Tottenham’s semifinal clash against Arne Slot’s men will be in North London on January 8, with the Lilywhites travelling to Anfield for the second leg on February 6.
Daniel Levy and the Tottenham hierarchy have been ruthless in sacking managers if they feel that a top-four finish is out of reach.
While Ange Postecoglou is getting more leeway than most of his predecessors, he too will not be safe from the axe unless Spurs start quickly climbing up the league table.
He might not even get the chance to guide Tottenham to a cup final if the current slump continues for a couple of more weeks.
