Ange Postecoglou 'under pressure' at Tottenham as former Celtic boss may 'lose job before end of season'
The Tottenham boss is a hero at Celtic but is facing pressure.
A former Premier League star reckons Ange Postecoglou will be up for the sack at Tottenham under a certain set of circumstances before the end of this season.
The Australian is a hero at Celtic after two seasons as manager, winning five out of six available domestic trophies. He swapped Celtic for Tottenham in 2023 off the back of his silverware success and secured Europa League football last campaign, but his side have been up and down this campaign.
For wins over Man City and Aston Villa, they have lost to Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town. Ex-Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson that should Tottenham be out the cups by February and if a European spot does not look safe, the former Celtic boss could be packing his bags.
Robinson told Football Insider: “He’s under pressure now. But I think he’s bang under pressure at the end of the season if they fail to make it into the Champions League or Europa League again.
“I think there’s got to be some signs of progression under his management. They’re being beaten too easily and they’re too susceptible defensively. He’s stuck with this style when it doesn’t necessarily suit some of the players in his side.
“He’ll always be under pressure at Tottenham, because the stigma surrounding the need to win a trophy is not going to go away. It’s the stick used to beat them with by every other club, so if he wins a trophy and doesn’t reach European football, would that be enough?
“I’m not convinced. I think European football is vital for Tottenham and where they are as a club. Ange has earnt the right to have time, but they don’t seem to be learning from their mistakes.
“At the end of the season, yes, he’s bang under pressure if they don’t achieve what they want to achieve, but at the moment, he’s okay. In February, if they drop out of the cup competitions and it doesn’t look like they’ll compete for European places, he could lose his job before the end of the season.”
