Tottenham are unlikely to make an announcement on Ange Postecoglou’s future before the Europa League winner goes on holiday, talkSPORT understands.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank is emerging as a strong contender to replace Postecoglou after Marco Silva publicly stated he will remain as Fulham manager next season.
Postecoglou’s position is still under threat despite delivering Tottenham their first trophy for 17 yearsGetty Frank is a strong contender to replace Postecoglou should Daniel Levy sack the AustralianGettyHowever, chairman Daniel Levy is mulling over whether to proceed with plans to sack Postecoglou after Spurs’ Europa League triumph over Manchester United last week.
Before that 1-0 win in Bilbao, sources close to Postecoglou were convinced the Australian would definitely be axed.
Frank has a hefty release clause in his Brentford contract, believed to be in the region of £9million.
The Dane also has a long-standing relationship with Spurs’ technical director Johan Lange.
Tottenham’s 4-1 defeat at home to Brighton on Sunday saw them finish just one place above the relegation zone, losing 22 of their 38 Premier League games, the most by any team avoiding the drop in the competition’s history.
Despite this new low, Postecoglou was very upbeat at the way the season had panned out for Spurs after the game.
When asked how he’d assess Spurs’ season, he responded: “Outstanding.”
“We won a trophy, which we have not done for 17 years, and we’re in the Champions League.
“Ask any supporter at the start of the season if they’d take that and there wouldn’t be a person in the house that wouldn’t.”
Postecoglou was also in no mood to discuss his future after the match and labelled such talk as ‘unnecessary’.
Spurs chairman Levy is yet to decide whether he’s going to give Postecoglou the chopGetty“You know my gut feeling? My gut feeling is I feel right now that I’ve done something that no one believed I could,” Postecoglou said.
“And I shouldn’t be sitting here talking about it (my future).
“That’s my feeling, but it is what it is.
“As I said I am and probably I am talking now because I’m tired, mate. I have to [talk] about another game and I just want to go on a break and enjoy my family and reflect on being part of something unbelievably special, unbelievably special.
“I’ve been fortunate to be in this position a number of times, but seeing those scenes Friday and people have reached out and talked to me about how it has affected them what has happened over the last couple of days. It’s a beautiful thing and I just want to enjoy that.
“To be honest, the rest of it? You know I don’t even want to be talking about it. I just think it is unnecessary.”
Postecoglou has completed his second season at Spurs, and hinted next term would be even better if he remained at the helmGettyBreaking news. More follows…
