Tottenham had been considering reorganizing their squad and replacing their manager in the upcoming summer. Postecoglou's position was also faltering. There has already been a prospect that Tottenham will replace him. Postecoglou's possible replacement has already been discussed since the end of the season. Britain's BBC said 'What is clear to Tottenham is that if leadership change is needed, it must be done smoothly. Until the Europa League final, there were many doubts about Tottenham. However, Tottenham have become a much more attractive option for managers ahead of their qualification for the European Champions League.
Tottenham, which fell to 17th place with the worst performance in the league this season, was eliminated from all competitions except the Europa League, including the League Cup and the FA Cup. The club's leaders initially wanted to maintain Postecoglou's system, but it was known that they are now weighing on the replacement while watching the performance decline.
Reporter David Onstein, who already boasts the highest public confidence in the European football transfer market ahead of the Europa League final, also said, `It is unlikely that Postecoglou will remain. Regardless of the final result, Tottenham will be looking for a change in the summer. Tottenham's situation was so bad in the league this season. There is an opinion that the club did not perform as expected. No matter what happens in the final, there is a high possibility that a new coach will be appointed in the summer."

However, the factor hanging over Tottenham's leadership was that Postecoglou gained support by giving the team the trophy this season. Tottenham won the Europa League (UEL) final 1-0 against Manchester United in the 2024-2025 season at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain, on May 22, winning the trophy for the first time in 17 years. It was the first time since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. However, Tottenham seems to have dismissed Postecoglou even considering this.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are reportedly considering replacing Thomas Frank. Frank, who has led Brentford since 2018, is one of the competent coaches who is challenging Brentford's promotion to the English Premier League (EPL), staying in the first division, and even advancing to the European tournament this season. In particular, he was recognized for his ability to find players in Brentford, which has a limited budget, and his tactical style is also well-received as a coach who finds the best way.
