If Ange Postecoglou was not already under pressure at Tottenham, he certainly is now.
Spurs suffered an embarrassing 3-2 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park earlier on Sunday, with all three goals for the Toffees coming in the opening 45 minutes as things went from bad to worse for Tottenham.
It is now six Premier League games without a win for Ange Postecoglou and Spurs – with five of those coming as defeats.
It would – admittedly – be harsh for Daniel Levy to sack the Australian given the ridiculous amount of injuries Tottenham have at the moment, with stars such as Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Dominic Solanke, Rodrigo Bentancur and others absent.
However, if the 62-year-old does decide to make a change in the dugout, there are several unemployed managers he could hire immediately, with TBR Football now selecting the three we think are most feasible.
Daniel Levy has already spoken to two managers in the past who could replace Ange Postecoglou
Paulo Fonseca
The name Paulo Fonseca might ring a bell for some Tottenham fans.
Spurs actually agreed a deal with the 51-year-old after he spoke to Levy back in 2021 before opting for Nuno Espirito Santo instead.
Fonseca – who Everton considered before hiring David Moyes – revealed that information himself, telling the Telegraph: “The agreement was done. We were planning the pre-season and Tottenham wanted an offensive coach. It wasn’t announced but we planned pre-season players.”
Erik ten Hag
Erik ten Hag is another available manager who Levy has already spoken to.
The Daily Mail claimed that the Dutchman failed to impress Levy during an interview back in 2021 – specifically mentioning his poor English – and Nuno was eventually hired.
Ten Hag eventually secured the Manchester United job – winning the FA Cup last season – but was sacked in October.
Edin Terzic
Edin Terzic – who guided Borussia Dortmund to the UEFA Champions League final last season – is another coach Spurs can hire immediately, and a comment from Serdal Adali in Turkey has now intensified rumours linking the German to Tottenham.
Before hiring Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the 60-year-old, who is President of Besiktas, told Tivibu Spor: “Edin Terzic was one of our foreign alternatives. In the meeting, he said he was expecting an agreement with Tottenham.”
Will that supposed agreement now come into action after Postecoglou was embarrassed by Everton? Only time will tell.
