Coach Enze Postecoglou will be replaced as early as this week.
England's Football Insider exclusively reported on the 15th (Korea Standard Time) that "Coach Postecoglou's replacement could be confirmed as early as this week if he loses the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals."
Tottenham will face Frankfurt in the second leg of the 2024-25 UEFA UEL quarterfinals at Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt, Germany, at 4 a.m. on the 18th. Tottenham had a 1-1 draw in the first round. Victory is essential to advance to the semifinals.
Tottenham's fate is at stake this season. Currently, Tottenham ranks 15th in the Premier League. All of its cup competitions have been eliminated. Tottenham has had no title since the 2007-08 season, but if it is eliminated from the UEL, it will have no title for 17 consecutive years.
Postecoglou's fate also depends. "Football Insider" said, "According to sources, Postecoglou's replacement could be decided on Thursday. If Tottenham is eliminated from the UEL, it could decide whether to appoint a new coach sometime this week. Postecoglou's contract is valid until June 2027, but he could leave the team two years after succeeding Antonio Conte.
Postecoglou joined Tottenham ahead of the 2023-24 season. In his early days, he was loved by Tottenham fans for delivering a hot victory with aggressive tactics that put weight on the front. However, he began to show his bottom line midway through last season. His unique offensive tactics caused players to suffer from an increase in physical strength, and eventually Tottenham ended up with a flood of injuries from a certain point on. Tottenham, which had been leading the league in the early stages of the season, suffered ups and downs to finish the season in fifth place in the league.
It seemed that Tottenham Hotspur F.C. had high expectations for Postecoglou's second year under Coach Postecoglou by taking lessons from last season's disappointment. However, expectations collapsed. Tottenham, which had been crawling on the floor since the beginning of this season, was completely stormy due to its insistence on "Plan A" and a series of injuries. They were eliminated in both the EFL Cup and FA Cup, where they had chances to win a trophy.
There are also many problems with Postecoglou's season operation. Currently, Tottenham has fallen to 15th place in the Premier League, and Postecoglou's Tottenham, which has completely announced the remaining schedule of the league in the extreme name of its challenge to win the UEL. In the 32nd round against Wolverhampton, he also suffered a crushing defeat of 2-4 by filling the squad with bench resources.
There are plenty of reasons to be sacked. What's left is timing. Tottenham faced Frankfurt in the second round of the UEL quarterfinals as a watershed moment in its decision to be sacked. Moreover, Tottenham is also working on a search for a new coach. 메이저사이트
