Tottenham Hotspur’s recent 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final marked a significant achievement, ending the club’s 17-year trophy drought and securing Champions League football for next season. Manager Ange Postecoglou, in his second season, fulfilled his promise of delivering silverware.
However, despite European success, Spurs’ performance in the Premier League has been dismal, with a 17th-place finish on their cards. This has led to speculation about Postecoglou’s future despite the Europa League triumph.
There have been highs and lows, where Ange Postecoglou’s time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is concerned. Yes, the Australian has guided the club to their first European trophy since 1984, but the league form has been concerning. Postecoglou remains steadfast in his belief there is more to come from this team and hopes success in Bilbao will have saved him from the axe.
The Potential Replacements
Due to the terrible form shown by Spurs in the Premier League, the next Tottenham Hotspur manager odds list has been around for a while, with the market changing regularly.
There are currently three managers, two in work, who lead the way in the betting at 4/1. They are Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, former Barcelona manager Xavi, and Brentford manager Thomas Frank. The fact that the shortest price available is 4/1, where a £10.00 stake would return £50.00, suggests that right now, Big Ange is expected to remain in a job.
An interesting but not surprising name on the list is former Spurs manager and fans’ favourite Mauricio Pochettino at 5/1. Ever since departing North London, the Argentinian has been linked with a return to the club. As he’s currently working as the USA men’s national team head coach, it feels unlikely that the timing will be right for him to make an emotional return.
Over previous weeks and months, multiple managers have been linked with replacing Postecoglou in the Spurs’ dugout. Andoni Iraola, who has impressed at Bournemouth, is one, and he’s 10/1 in the betting, while former Spurs coach Kieran McKenna, currently managing Ipswich Town, is another and is the same price.
However, the Europa League win could have changed everything. It could be enough to ensure Postecoglou gets a bit more time to bring his vision to life, regardless of Spurs finishing the lowest they’ve ever finished in the Premier League.
Is It Big Ange For Now?
If Tottenham Hotspur had lost in the Europa League final, it would have been almost certain that Ange Postecoglou would depart the club this summer. However, winning Europe’s second biggest cup competition could be a sign that this is a manager who can deliver more for Spurs than any other.
While Big Ange’s future will remain up in the air for a while to come, stay tuned to the latest manager odds at BetVictor sports betting. As there will be more managerial changes to come this summer.
