Ange Postecoglou has endured yet another bitter blow in the Premier League, as his Tottenham Hotspur side slumped to their 17th defeat in just 32 top-flight matches this season.

A loss in Frankfurt could bring Spurs\u2019 season to a premature and anticlimactic end, devoid of any silverware or meaningful progress.Such a scenario could spell the end for Postecoglou, whose initial promise has faded with the team\u2019s continued inconsistency.

News 365","og_description":"Ange Postecoglou has endured yet another bitter blow in the Premier League, as his Tottenham Hotspur side slumped to their 17th defeat in just 32 top-flight matches this season. The Australian manager, once hailed for bringing attacking flair and a fresh identity to North London, now finds himself under mounting pressure with his job hanging by a thread.Spurs traveled to Molineux on Sunday to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in what many dubbed a must-win game. The stakes were high \u2014 Wolves, who had just nine points when Gary O\u2019Neil was dismissed in December, were poised to close the gap to just two points with a win. Unfortunately for Tottenham, their defensive vulnerabilities and lack of intensity once again came back to haunt them as they fell to a 4-2 defeat. The result pushed them further down the table and intensified concerns over the club\u2019s direction.If Tottenham fail to secure the Europa League title this season, it could go down as one of the most disappointing and forgettable campaigns in the club\u2019s modern history. They only managed a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt at home, meaning the German side holds a slight edge heading into the return leg at the Deutsche Bank Park. A loss in Frankfurt could bring Spurs\u2019 season to a premature and anticlimactic end, devoid of any silverware or meaningful progress.Such a scenario could spell the end for Postecoglou, whose initial promise has faded with the team\u2019s continued inconsistency. There\u2019s already growing speculation that Spurs may look to make a change before the season concludes \u2014 and one name that continues to surface is Thiago Motta.Motta has earned widespread acclaim for his recent managerial work, particularly with Bologna, where he guided the Serie A side to an impressive fifth-place finish. His tactical acumen and progressive football style saw him labeled a \u201cgenius\u201d during his rise. That success earned him a move to Juventus in the summer, but despite losing just seven of his 42 games in charge, he only managed 18 wins and was ultimately dismissed in March.Still, Motta\u2019s credentials remain impressive. He\u2019s a four-time Serie A Coach of the Month winner and brings valuable European experience from this season\u2019s Champions League campaign. These qualities have reportedly put him high on Tottenham\u2019s managerial shortlist \u2014 with some sources suggesting he\u2019s now their second choice behind Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola.Iraola has performed miracles at Bournemouth, steering them from relegation favorites to a comfortable top-half team in just 18 months. His side plays an eye-catching, high-tempo style of football, and he\u2019s overseen some astute signings like Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez. But despite his success, luring him away mid-season could be tricky.That\u2019s where Motta has the edge. Currently without a club, he would require no compensation package and would likely leap at the opportunity to manage a Premier League giant. His availability makes him an attractive and low-risk option for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who may be tempted to act swiftly if results don\u2019t improve.Sunday\u2019s 4-2 defeat could have been even more damning. Had West Ham managed to beat Liverpool in the concurrent 2pm fixture, Spurs would\u2019ve slumped as low as 16th in the table. Remarkably, Tottenham are not even mathematically safe from relegation yet \u2014 a staggering fall from grace for a club that began the season with such high hopes. Ipswich Town\u2019s draw with Chelsea and Spurs\u2019 own loss to Wolves means that, however unlikely, the newly-promoted Tractor Boys can still technically catch Postecoglou\u2019s team in the closing weeks.For a club with ambitions of returning to the Champions League and competing for silverware, the current trajectory is unsustainable. And unless there\u2019s a dramatic turnaround in both performances and results, Tottenham may be forced to pull the plug on the Postecoglou project \u2014 and look toward a new era under Thiago Motta.","og_url":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954","og_site_name":"News 365","article_published_time":"2025-04-14T16:16:50+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1642,"height":2048,"url":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_7561.jpeg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"MsTrinh","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"MsTrinh","Est. reading time":"1 minute"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954","url":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954","name":"Tottenham mu\u0455t \u0455ack Ange today and h\u0456re \u2018gen\u0456u\u0455\u2019 manager to \u0455ave the\u0456r \u0455ea\u0455on, he\u2019\u0455 ava\u0456lable now - News 365","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_7561.jpeg","datePublished":"2025-04-14T16:16:50+00:00","dateModified":"2025-04-14T16:16:50+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/#\/schema\/person\/4ceee60ccedcaefdcdb92666e3638df8"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_7561.jpeg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_7561.jpeg","width":1642,"height":2048},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?p=52954#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Tottenham mu\u0455t \u0455ack Ange today and h\u0456re \u2018gen\u0456u\u0455\u2019 manager to \u0455ave the\u0456r \u0455ea\u0455on, he\u2019\u0455 ava\u0456lable now"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/","name":"News 365","description":"Your Daily Dose of Sports News and Updates","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/#\/schema\/person\/4ceee60ccedcaefdcdb92666e3638df8","name":"MsTrinh","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/6f334e513f44159c0cebc84de47ae8c06c54d423e5372ae7ac253be488b39650?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/6f334e513f44159c0cebc84de47ae8c06c54d423e5372ae7ac253be488b39650?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"MsTrinh"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/"],"url":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/?author=5"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52954"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52956,"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52954\/revisions\/52956"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/52955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
