Along with reports that Tottenham will replace coach Angie Postecoglou immediately after the end of the season, three successive coaches appeared.
The Atlantic reported on the 28th (Korea time) that Tottenham is looking for current Premier League managers to replace Postecoglou, and Postecoglou's future at Tottenham is seriously threatened.
Tottenham remains 14th in the league with 34 points, 10 wins, 4 draws and 15 losses (55 goals and 43 goals) in 29 games this season. The club and fans had high expectations for Postecoglou, who had a pleasant jinx to lift the trophy without fail in his second year, but the Europa League is the only remaining opportunity after being eliminated from the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. Tottenham are currently in the quarterfinals of the Europa League. Considering the league's performance and the current situation, Tottenham's only way to advance to the European Champions League and Postecoglou's only solution to prolong his life as a head coach is to win the Europa League.

The Atlantic reported that if Tottenham miss the Europa League, it will bring in Bournemouth coach Andoni Aiola immediately after the end of the season. Aiola has led the team to impressive changes since taking over at Bournemouth earlier last season. He ranked 12th last season and 10th this season (44 points, 12 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses, 48 goals and 36 goals). The difference between 14th place Tottenham is 10 points, and the difference between 4th place Chelsea (49 points) and 5th place Manchester City (48 points) is 4-5 points. He also advanced to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. Since he still has a year left on his contract with Bournemouth, he will have to pay a penalty of £10 million under the release clause to bring in Aiola. Coach Postecoglou also has a year left on his contract and has the option to extend his contract to four seasons at Tottenham.

In addition to Aiola, DeAtlantic mentioned two more active Premier League managers, Marco Silva Fulham and Thomas Frank Brentford. Silva's Fulham are currently eighth (45 points, 12 wins, 9 draws, 8 losses), and Frank's Brentford are 11th (41 points, 12 wins, 5 draws, 12 losses). Both coaches have promoted the team from the Championship to the Premier League and continue to have a strong team color in the Premier League. Silva, who was also named when Postecoglou was recruited, is known as the second-ranked candidate after Aiola.
Meanwhile, the 30th round of the Premier League will resume after the A-match break. Son Heung-min's Tottenham will go to Chelsea at 4 a.m. on the 4th.
