“Cascarino Blasts Postecoglou Sacking Talk as Spurs Turmoil Deepens”
Cascarino Warns of Postecoglou’s Uncertain Future as Spurs Enter Pivotal Phase
Tony Cascarino believes Ange Postecoglou’s tenure at Tottenham Hotspur may be on the brink following recent developments in North London.
Postecoglou’s second season has been plagued by inconsistency and missed opportunities, leaving the Europa League as the only remaining chance to salvage something from an otherwise underwhelming campaign.
Currently struggling in 14th place in the Premier League, Spurs have already suffered early eliminations in domestic competitions—bowing out of the FA Cup in the fourth round and suffering a 4-1 aggregate defeat to Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-finals.
With a crucial Europa League showdown against Eintracht Frankfurt approaching—and potential ties against Bodo/Glimt or Lazio ahead—Postecoglou’s fate could rest on Tottenham’s performance in Europe. However, reports suggest the club is already assessing alternative managerial options.

Cascarino: “No Way Back” If Spurs Fall in Europe
Postecoglou’s position is hanging by a thread, with Daniel Levy reportedly scouting possible replacements in case Spurs opt for a managerial shake-up.
Speaking on talkSPORT (23 March, 9:40 am), Cascarino was asked whether winning the Europa League is Postecoglou’s only chance to secure his future at Tottenham.
“It feels that way,” Cascarino admitted. “And whether you think it’s fair or not, that appears to be the inevitable outcome.”
He also pointed to growing speculation about a potential successor list being drawn up behind the scenes:
“Ange will have had two seasons, and that’s a considerable amount of time—this season has been deeply disappointing, no doubt about it.”
Emphasizing the significance of Tottenham’s European campaign, Cascarino added:
“If they crash out of the Europa League, there’s only one possible conclusion—I don’t see Ange getting a third season.”

Postecoglou’s Future Rests on European Success
With Tottenham’s long-standing trophy drought frequently used as a point of criticism, Postecoglou’s bold claim that he “always wins a trophy in his second season” has only amplified the pressure.
Spurs had a golden opportunity to end their 16-year silverware wait in the EFL Cup—their last triumph coming in 2008—but instead delivered one of their worst performances of the season in a heavy defeat to Liverpool.
Now, their Europa League journey stands as Postecoglou’s final chance to prove he is the right man for the job. However, with mounting pressure and Levy reportedly considering a managerial change, failure to make an impact in Europe could mark the end of Postecoglou’s tenure at Tottenham.
