Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham job under threat as Spurs chairman meets former manager

Ange Postecoglou’s job at Tottenham is under serious threat, but a move from the club’s chairman appears to point to his fate being already sealed.

Ange Postecoglou’s future in charge of Tottenham continues to be called into question after a dire two years in charge, and a picture circulating online hints that his fate may already be sealed.

An abysmal domestic campaign has seen the North London side drop to 14th place in the Premier League and they are eliminated from both local cup competitions, in what has been a campaign to forget for the Aussie manager.

The Europa League is currently Spurs’ only chance at silverware this campaign and it is widely believed he will be sacked if they fail to lift the trophy.

However, a recent photo circulating online may suggest irrespective of whether or not Spurs go all the way in the European competition the Aussie could be headed out the door.

While it is unclear the exact date of when the photo was taken of the pair’s meeting, it comes as Pochettino admitted he hopes to return to the North London club in the future.

“When I left the club I always remember one interview I said I would like one day to come back to Tottenham,” he told Sky Sports last week.

“I am in the USA, so I am not going to talk about that now – but what I said then I still, after six years or five years, feel in my heart. Yes, I would like one day to come back.

“Not because of my ego, it’s because my feeling is I would like one day to win with Tottenham.”

The 53-year-old, however, had a relatively successful time at the helm despite failing to bring the club any silverware, leading the team to the 2015 EFL Cup final, a 2019 Champions League final and a second-place finish in the 2016-17 Premier League season.

But while many fans are calling for Postecoglou to be removed and Pochettino to return, BBC Sports reports it would come at an almighty cost.

The news outlet reports if Levy were to sack Pochettino he would be required to pay “one of the biggest compensation fees in football history”, with the sum suggested to be close to $40 million.
