Coach Enze Postecoglou is expected to be on the money cushion if he is replaced by Tottenham.
According to sources, Postecoglou will receive a penalty of 7 million pounds (about 13 billion won) if he is replaced as Tottenham manager on the 29th (Korea time). 'Last week we reported that Tottenham's leadership had held new discussions about Postecoglou's future and said his future was 50-50'
Currently, Postecoglou's future is in mystery. In the days leading up to the Europa League (UEL) final, Postecoglou looked set to be replaced regardless of whether he won or not. This is because it made the worst season in Tottenham's Premier League (EPL) history. It wasn't a performance that could be overshadowed by the victory.
However, in the end, when he won the UEL, there is an atmosphere that he should continue his company with Coach Postecoglou. The Athletic in England says 'Tottenham has never had a happier, more proud, more positive or unified time than it is now in modern times. It's all thanks to Postecoglou's win over Manchester United in the final after leading Tottenham to Bilbao.
With the situation like this, Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy has no choice but to be in trouble. How to evaluate Postecoglou is now in Tottenham's hands. It is time for a clear position to be sorted out over whether he is the leader who gave the trophy to the club for the first time in 17 years or the person responsible for the worst performance in league history. After all, the key to this critical judgment is held by Chairman Daniel Levy. The future of the coach is expected to be determined by what value will be prioritized between his performance at the European tournament and his league performance.
Postecoglou was not convinced why he should be replaced, but chairman Levy is likely to have a different idea. Before the pre-season begins, the best scenario is to make a decision on coach Postecoglou's future.
Another concern for Chairman Levy would be the penalty. Football Insider reported that Postecoglou will receive a bonus of 2 million pounds (about 3.7 billion won) after leading Tottenham to lift the European Championship trophy for the first time since 1984, and Postecoglou's annual salary is 5 million pounds (about 9.2 billion won).
Football Insider predicted that if Postecoglou is replaced, he is likely to receive a full year's salary and explained that the existing salary is £7 million plus the UEL winning bonus. Even if Postecoglou is replaced, he will become a 10 billion won man.
However, it is not a large amount compared to past coaches. Mauricio Pochettino reportedly received £12.5 million (about 23.1 billion won) and Mourinho more than £15 million (about 27.7 billion won) when he was replaced by Tottenham.
