Enze Postecoglou is expected to achieve the worst record in Tottenham's history.
Tottenham suffered a 1-5 defeat in the 34th round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Liverpool in the 2024-2025 season at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on the 29th (Korea time). Liverpool confirmed its EPL victory with the victory and lifted the trophy in front of Tottenham, which has been suffering from no spectators for 17 years.
Coach Postecoglou also lowered his head. Tottenham operated some rotations of the game on the same day. Key defenders Christian Romero, Mickey Panderpen and Pedro Porro were placed on the replacement list. It was a choice to focus on the match against Glimt, as seen in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.
However, it was not enough to face Liverpool, the league's leading team, due to its lack of power. Dominic Solanke led with the first goal in the 12th minute of the first half, but immediately collapsed with three goals lost in the first half alone. Tottenham allowed two more goals in the second half and lost with as many as five runs.

The defeat marked Tottenham's 19th defeat in the league this season. It matched the club's worst history. Tottenham's most losses in a single EPL season are 19 losses recorded in the 1993-94 and 2003-04. It will be the worst defeat in the club's history in 21 years. The record of the most losses ever is an area that has not been experienced by previous coaches such as Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte, and Nunu Santo, who have had difficulties leading Tottenham.
Considering these records, it is also fully understandable that Tottenham recently decided to replace Postecoglou. England's Telegraph said 'Enze Postecoglou is likely to leave Tottenham after the end of this season regardless of the result in the Europa League.

The problem is that Tottenham's season is not over yet. In addition to the Europa League schedule, Tottenham has league games against West Ham (away), Crystal Palace (home), Aston Villa (away), and Brighton (home). Except for West Ham, ranked 17th, which is below Tottenham in the worst atmosphere in recent years, all of them are against a team ranked higher than Tottenham. It could lead to more than three losses. If the performance does not rebound, Tottenham could break the record of the most EPL losses in a single season under Postecoglou.
In addition to Tottenham's victory in the Europa League for the rest of the season, it is expected that Postecoglou will continue to attract fans' attention to the worst defeat record in the club's history.
