Tottenham: ‘Interesting’ Ange Postecoglou replacement ‘option’ tipped to ‘leave’ Premier League rivals

Tottenham Hotspur have been tipped to replace under-fire head coach Ange Postecoglou with Fulham boss Marco Silva, who “would leave”.

Postecoglou is in his second season at Spurs and under immense pressure as the North London outfit have not kicked on after they narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification last term.

Injuries have ravaged Tottenham this season as they are the third-worst affected Premier League side.

Tottenham have struggled without their key stars as they are floundering in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

Injuries have been a contributing factor, but Spurs still should be doing better and Postecoglou is understandably the clear favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked.

Sunday’s match against Manchester United could force a ‘change’ in the Tottenham dugout and they are linked with several potential replacements.

Silva is doing a great job at Fulham as they sit tenth in the Premier League and he is one of the managers mooted as a possible replacement for Postecoglou.

The former Everton boss was previously linked with Chelsea and journalist James Olley reckons he “would leave Fulham” amid interest from Spurs.

“I think Marco Silva is another interesting option,” Olley said.

“I think that he would leave Fulham. I think he was quite keen to go to Chelsea, had they made a concerted effort to appoint him in the past.

“So I think he’s ambitious Silva. I think, obviously Fulham, I’m sure, would fight tooth and nail to keep him, but I can see a scenario where Marco Silva certainly courts some interest if there’s a possibility of that.”

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is also linked with Spurs and a report has revealed his ‘stance’ on extending his contract.

‘Bournemouth are keen to tie down Andoni Iraola to a new contract, but they have not yet opened talks with their highly-rated head coach.

‘The Spaniard has never been keen on signing a long-term deal thus far in his career, but things are set to change.

‘TBR understands that Bournemouth spoke with Iraola’s camp before Christmas, but the manager has thus far insisted that he wants to wait and not disrupt the campaign. However, they are increasingly worried by interest emerging in their coach.

‘TBR Football can confirm that Tottenham Hotspur have done their work on Iraola, as the club do their due diligence on potential replacements for Ange Postecoglou.

‘Bournemouth are determined to keep Iraola, and sources have told TBR Football that they are ‘confident’ that the Spaniard will commit to the Vitality Stadium – given the backing they have shown him since landing him in 2023 when he left Rayo Vallecano.’
