Tottenham take major Postecoglou decision amid poor run of form – report

Ange Postecoglou continues to hold the confidence of Tottenham Hotspur’s board despite a dire run of results that has seen his side slide to the bottom half of the Premier League table, according to the Daily Mail.

The coming Carabao Cup semi-final clash with Liverpool will determine the Australian manager’s future.

Spurs travel to Molineux to face Wolves on Sunday, desperate to arrest a slump that has seen them lose four of their last five Premier League outings.

Their solitary win in this stretch came against rock-bottom Southampton. The poor form has left Tottenham nine points adrift of the Champions League qualification spots, a worrying position for a club with lofty ambitions.

Despite the bleak domestic outlook, the report claims that Postecoglou’s position remains secure for now.

They are still alive in the Europa League and the Carabao Cup, competitions that offer tangible opportunities to end their 16-year trophy drought.

Reaching the Carabao Cup final, in particular, would represent a significant milestone for a club starved of silverware since their triumph in 2008.

The two-legged semi-final against Liverpool begins on January 8 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the decisive second leg scheduled for February 6 at Anfield.

Postecoglou’s future could be heavily influenced by the outcome of these matches, especially if the team’s league performances fail to improve.

Tottenham’s Europa League campaign also hangs in the balance, with crucial group-stage fixtures against Hoffenheim and IF Elfsborg still to come. Progression to the tournament’s last 16 would further strengthen Postecoglou’s case to remain in charge.

Postecoglou’s managerial record offers hope for Spurs fans. He has a history of delivering trophies in his second seasons at clubs, including title wins in Australia, Japan, and Scotland.

The question is whether the former Celtic boss can replicate that success at Tottenham and weather the storm of recent poor results.

Postecoglou needs time and patience

Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, and Antonio Conte have all failed here, and the club needs some continuity.

Building a winning team takes time, and Tottenham have undergone significant squad changes. The club must provide consistent support and patience, even if they crash out from cup competitions.

Also, the club must provide Postecoglou with the necessary tools to succeed, including signing players who fit his tactical style and possess the necessary athleticism and technical ability to execute his high-pressing system.

Ambitious signings, coupled with a patient and supportive approach from the board, will be crucial for Postecoglou to achieve long-term success at Tottenham.
