Tottenham have identified a £4.5m “class” coach to potentially replace Ange

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is facing the most pressure since joining the club from Celtic in 2023, with Spurs down to 15th Premier League table after the 3-2 defeat by Everton last weekend.

Ange Postecoglou criticized amid Tottenham’s hot form

The Lilywhites showed real spirit to come back from 3-0 down at half-time on Merseyside, reducing the deficit to just one, but Postecoglou’s defeat was Spurs’ fifth in their last six top-flight matches and their 12th of the season.

So far, Tottenham haven’t lost so many games at this stage of the season for decades, and Postecoglou has been criticized for his one-man approach to games at the time, while also failing to solve his side’s leaky defense in need of tactical tweaking.

It simply has to be said that Postecoglou suffered a host of injuries to key first-team players, including star striker Dominic Solanke shortly before their defeat to Everton, and that left the critical Spurs boss with very few options.

Brennan Johnson is also expected to be out for weeks after injuring himself in last week’s north London derby defeat to Arsenal, but Sky Sports pundit Jamie O’Hara he says Postecoglou should be given his P45 regardless.

Reports suggest that Postecoglou is not under immediate threat of being sacked by Tottenhambut the 59-year-old faces a crucial week and that could change if results continue this way.

Tottenham could make a statement about former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzić if they decide to part ways with Postecoglou, according to some reports, while another media source has now linked them with the Brentford manager Thomas Frank.

Tottenham identify Thomas Frank as “top” managerial target

According to TEAMtalk, the Bees boss is highly regarded by Tottenham’s hierarchy after a productive few years at the Gtech Community Stadium where he worked wonders on a shoestring budget.

The £4.5 million a year The manager led Brentford to promotion back in 2021 and they have never been under real threat of relegation since. Their highest league finish, ninth in the 2022/2023 season, is impressive given the lack of resources available to Franko, and that stuck around N17.

It is believed Frank would be a “top” target for Tottenham if they decide to fire Postecoglou. TEAMtalk added that president Daniel Levy and co even considered the 51-year-old as an option to succeed Antonio Conte, before eventually settling on Postecoglou, with the media hailing Franco as a “class act” (Adam Keys).

The Dane is also expected to leave Brentford at the end of the season, meaning he could be available.
