As the under-pressure Ange Postecoglou confronts an extremely unclear future at the club, chairman Daniel Levy is aware that one title-winning manager is apparently in love with the thought of a possible switch to Tottenham Hotspur.

It is widely assumed that Levy might still leave Postecoglou at the conclusion of the season, regardless of Spurs’ Europa League participation (Matt Law).

Postecoglou is facing the prospect of an undesirable record on his résumé as Tottenham is only one game away from matching their highest amount of losses in a Premier League season. They also have a difficult trip to Anfield coming up.

Liverpool’s victory over Spurs on Merseyside this weekend might ultimately crown them champions, therefore it’s likely that Arne Slot’s team will throw caution to the wind against a weak Lilywhites team that has also dropped four of their past five top flight games.

After a lacklustre domestic campaign, Postecoglou’s salvation is in Europe, where the Australian has the opportunity to create history by leading Spurs to their first major trophy since their 2008 League Cup victory under Juande Ramos.

 

The focus is already shifting to the potential successor of the former Celtic manager in N17, though, as winning the competition does not even ensure that Postecoglou would remain in his position for the upcoming campaign.

In recent weeks, Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth, Marco Silva of Fulham, Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace, and Thomas Frank of Brentford have all been linked, while Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tottenham likes Simone Inzaghi, the manager of Inter Milan.

The Mail also reported earlier this week that Burnley manager Scott Parker had some supporters at Spurs, although the return of former fan favoriteMauricio Pochettino would be arguably the most exciting addition.

You could say that the north Londoners haven’t had the same level of consistency since Pochettino left, despite the fact that the Argentine had a brilliant time as Tottenham’s manager from 2014 to 2019, which includes an incredible run to the Champions League final in 2019.

Mauricio Pochettino would “love” to return to Tottenham

Journalist Graeme Bailey has stated for The Boot Room that Pochettino hasn’t fully adapted to his first international position as manager of the United States national team, which is getting ready to co-host the 2026 World Cup.

On the other hand, Levy is reportedly “aware” that Pochettino would “love” to rejoin Tottenham if he were to leave the United States. The 53-year-old would also be Levy’s first pick to take Postecoglou’s post because of their tight contact and connection.

Pochettino is reportedly under pressure following a run of disappointing performances with the USA, and Levy is considering him as a possible Postecoglou replacement.

The former manager of Southampton, Chelsea, and PSG won a Ligue 1 championship with the latter, and it looks like Spurs are considering three trophy-winning managers, Glasner and Inzaghi being the other two.
