Ange Postecoglou’s downfall looms: Tottenham boss warned to “pack his bags” following latest twist.
Ange Postecoglou’s fate sealed: Tottenham manager told he can “start packing” after recent developments.
Tottenham’s disappointing Premier League season hit a new low with a 4-2 loss to Wolves on Sunday.
Vitor Pereira’s side struck early, scoring within two minutes and setting the tone for a match that only intensified the pressure on Ange Postecoglou.
Djed Spence accidentally scored an own goal to make it 2-0 for Wolves, before Mathys Tel pulled one back for Spurs.
Richarlison found the net for the North London side as well, but his effort was overshadowed by goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha, securing a commanding victory for Pereira’s men.
Wolves loss seals Postecoglou’s fate
Tottenham’s crushing defeat at Molineux highlighted Postecoglou’s inability to reverse the club’s fortunes.
The North London side now finds itself in 15th place in the Premier League, sitting only two points clear of Wolves and 17th-placed West Ham.
Spurs’ recent run has been nothing short of alarming:
Opponent | Result
Chelsea (A) – 1-0 Loss
Southampton (H) – 3-1 Win
Frankfurt (H) – 1-1 Draw
Wolves (A) – 4-2 Loss
Given this slump, it’s no surprise that Tottenham are reportedly eyeing Fulham’s Marco Silva and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola as possible successors to Ange Postecoglou.
Sunday’s humiliating defeat to Wolves told a familiar tale for Tottenham fans, as their team delivered another dismal defensive performance that could spell the end for Postecoglou.
Despite enduring struggles of their own this season, Pereira’s side comfortably dismantled the North London club, exposing Spurs’ alarming lack of defensive organization in the West Midlands.
Spurs look poised for a challenging evening against Frankfurt on Thursday.
Their defensive woes were on full display Sunday, conceding four times to a Wolves side that had only managed 47 goals in 32 league matches.
The loss at Molineux marked Tottenham’s 17th Premier League defeat of the season, adding to a string of humiliations—including a 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Leicester in January.
Tottenham’s strong run to the Europa League quarter-finals has undoubtedly delayed what seems to be an inevitable sacking for Ange Postecoglou.
Following a 1-1 draw with Frankfurt at home in the first leg, Spurs now face an uphill battle in Germany. Frankfurt, who have netted 55 goals in 28 Bundesliga games, will be eager to exploit Tottenham’s fragile backline in the return leg on April 17.
Keeping Postecoglou in charge for such a crucial fixture now feels like a major gamble—one Daniel Levy is surely aware of.
After the damaging loss to Wolves, Postecoglou’s departure feels all but confirmed, with a victory in Frankfurt looking increasingly unlikely. His time at Spurs may be nearing its end.
