“Rodgers’ Odds Slashed as Postecoglou’s Tottenham Future Hangs by a Thread”

Rodgers’ Odds Slashed as Spurs Managerial Saga Intensifies

Ange Postecoglou is under immense pressure at Tottenham, clinging to his position as the club’s season spirals out of control.

A disastrous domestic campaign has seen the North London side slump to 14th in the Premier League, while early exits from both domestic cup competitions have only worsened the situation.

With the Europa League now Spurs’ only hope for silverware, Postecoglou’s future at the club may depend on how far they progress in the competition.

Rodgers in the Frame as Postecoglou Faces the Axe

As speculation grows over Postecoglou’s potential departure, Brendan Rodgers has emerged as a surprise candidate for the Tottenham job.

According to The Sun on Sunday (23 March, page 55), the Celtic boss could be in line to replace the Australian should Spurs crash out of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Rodgers’ odds have been cut to 12/1 with BetVictor, putting him in the mix for the role, though still considered an outsider. Meanwhile, Andoni Iraola and former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino remain the frontrunners, with odds of 2/1 and 7/2, respectively, should Daniel Levy opt for a managerial change.

Why Tottenham Should Think Twice About Rodgers

Despite his success at Celtic, a move for Rodgers may not be well received by Spurs fans, given the club’s recent experience with former Hoops boss Postecoglou.

Rodgers’ most notable Premier League stint came at Liverpool, where he came agonizingly close to winning the title in 2013/14. However, his tenure unraveled soon after, culminating in a humiliating 6-1 defeat to Stoke City in Steven Gerrard’s farewell match.

Brendan Rodgers’ Managerial Career:

Watford (2008-09)

Reading (2009)

Swansea (2010-12)

Liverpool (2012-15)

Celtic (2016-19)

Leicester (2019-23)

Celtic (2023-present)

Sacked in 2015/16 with Liverpool languishing in 10th, Rodgers later rebuilt his reputation with trophy-laden spells at Celtic and Leicester before returning to Glasgow. However, questions remain about his ability to manage an elite club, especially given his poor European record.

For Spurs, a Rodgers appointment would be a gamble—one that may not inspire confidence among supporters already frustrated by the club’s struggles.
