Tottenham will not dismiss coach Enze Postecoglou even if he is eliminated from the Europa League.
Tottenham will play the second leg of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) round of 16 at 5 a.m. on the 14th (Korea time) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, in the 2024-2025 season. Tottenham, which lost 0-1 in the first round, must win to bring a ticket to the quarterfinals.
Rumors have spread that Postecoglou will be replaced if he fails to bring a ticket to the quarterfinals against AZ Alkmaar this time. English Football London will win against AZ Alkmaar ahead of the match, with Tottenham's season getting a second boost and competing until at least next month. There will also be momentum to bring great results. If you're eliminated, the season is almost over. Everyone knows what's going to happen next in this club, where evaluations are coming from above,' he said, predicting that Postecoglou will be replaced indirectly.
Surprisingly, however, the club seems to have a different idea. Peter O'Rourke, who plays for English Football Insider and is very good at Tottenham, said on the 12th that Tottenham are unlikely to fire Postecoglou even if he is eliminated from the UEL.
He went on to say that the game against AZ Alkmaar means a lot to Postecoglou's future, but at the moment, the defeat is unlikely to lead directly to his dismissal. Instead, sources added, Tottenham plan to review the 2024-2025 season after the season is over, with many key player injuries expected to be a factor protecting Postecoglou.
O'Rourke added: "Tottenham fans have shown frustration with their performance in recent weeks, and Postecoglou's style of football is in the spotlight. Club leaders are optimistic that key players could be hugely successful in the competition as they begin to return after lengthy treatment`Unlike the fans, the club continues to support Postecoglou,' he said.
This is shocking news. Tottenham are currently having their worst season in the league in recent years. As it is pushed out of the top 10, it is impossible to even advance to the European competition next season. It is not expected to be easy even if it rebounds from now on.
In addition, Postecoglou's worst season has not been compensated for his performance in the Cup. The Carabao Cup and FA Cup have already been eliminated. The only competition that can win is UEL. Tottenham is considered a favorite at the UEL, but is on the verge of being eliminated by AZ Alkmaar, who is much weaker in objective power.
If they fail to reach the UEL quarterfinals, there is no justification to wait for Postecoglou, but the team's leadership seems to be not considering changes.
