Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League success may not be enough to secure Ange Postecoglou’s long-term future, as the club continues to assess its managerial options heading into the summer.
According to GiveMeSport, the Spurs hierarchy is still weighing whether to move forward with the Australian coach following a historically poor domestic season, with Brentford manager Thomas Frank emerging as a serious candidate to take over.
Despite leading Tottenham to their first piece of silverware in 17 years with their Europa League triumph, Postecoglou’s position remains under scrutiny.
Tottenham had their league season ever
Spurs endured their worst-ever Premier League campaign in terms of defeats, losing a staggering 22 of their 38 league matches and finishing in a disappointing 17th place.
The contrast between continental success and domestic disappointment has left chairman Daniel Levy with a difficult decision regarding the direction of the club.
Even though the club has had a poor domestic campaign, the fans are still happy to see their team win their first silverware in a long time.
While Postecoglou brought a refreshing attacking style and guided the team to European glory, many within the club remain concerned about his ability to deliver consistency in the Premier League.
Levy is taking his time before making a final call, carefully considering the implications of a managerial change.
Brentford’s Frank has caught their attention after doing a brilliant job with a limited budget.
Thomas Frank has admirers in the Premier League
He is known for his attacking style of player, similar to what Tottenham are looking for at the moment.
The Danish tactician has been widely praised for his tactical acumen and the impressive way he has developed Brentford into a stable Premier League side with a clear identity.
With discussions continuing behind closed doors, the coming weeks could prove decisive for the future of Postecoglou who would love to continue at Spurs but it all depends on what Levy wants for the future.
To some it may come as surprising to see Spurs consider a new manager but their domestic form needs to change soon before they risk losing touch with the Premier League elite.
Another Tottenham hero of the Europa League win, Cristian Romero, could be heading out of the club soon.
