Will the time between Tottenham Hotspur and Enze Postecoglou end in the end.
British sports media Give Me Sports reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'Andoni Iraola Bournemouth has emerged as a candidate to replace Postecoglou as Tottenham. They added that `Iraola is one of the best young leaders in the world and would be a top consideration if Tottenham broke up with Postecoglou.'
Coach Iraola, who is from Spain, played as a fullback when he was active. He began his leadership career after retiring in 2016 and has been leading Bournemouth since 2023 through AEK Larnaca, Mirandes and Rayo Bayecano. Active pressure using a back 4 is a tactical feature. Bournemouth are currently seventh this season, following their success in staying in the Premier League in 12th place under Iraola last season.

The view toward Postecoglou is cold.
Tottenham has only eight wins in 24 league games. With only 14th place with 27 points, there are even concerns that the mid-range will now struggle for relegation, aside from the leap forward. There is no sign of a rebound, as they were eliminated one after another in the Carabao Cup (League Cup) and FA Cup.
Coach Postecoglou is also in a sensitive state due to the unusual atmosphere. After losing the FA Cup to Aston Villa, he said "I have a good opinion of myself. What's clear is that I can't blame the players for their performance. "If you want to kick me out, do it. But these players will be a tremendous team in the future."

It is uncertain whether Tottenham will try to change its leadership right away. Although there are variables depending on future league moves, it is true that it is not easy to bring in an incumbent coach at the end of the season. Although he went straight to the Europa League tournament, he is less important than the Champions League. Unless it is the worst situation of the 'league relegation zone crash', he is expected to finish the season under Postecoglou. Give Me Sports also predicted that if Tottenham replaces Postecoglou, that period will be after the end of the season.
