“Sorry”- From sources close to the club…’ – Fabrizio Romano shares critically Postecoglou sack update out of Tottenham

Another painful defeat in the Premier League has only deepened Tottenham Hotspur’s woes under head coach Ange Postecoglou. However, despite mounting concerns over the team’s form, the Australian manager’s job remains secure for the time being, according to respected journalist Fabrizio Romano. Writing in his newsletter for GIVEMESPORT, Romano emphasized that there have been no indications from sources within the club that Postecoglou is at risk of losing his position.

Another Blow for Spurs in a Disastrous Campaign

Fulham became the latest side to inflict misery on the Lilywhites, securing a comfortable 2-0 victory at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon. Goals from Rodrigo Muniz and former Spurs player Ryan Sessegnon sealed the win for the West London outfit, leaving Tottenham with their 15th Premier League defeat of the season. Worryingly, only the bottom four teams in the division have suffered more losses, a damning statistic that has left fans increasingly frustrated with how easily their team can be beaten.
Tottenham’s defensive frailties have been a recurring issue throughout the season, with Postecoglou forced to navigate a crippling injury crisis over the winter months. At one stage, he was forced to deploy an inexperienced backline, including teenage midfielder Archie Gray at center-back and natural right-back Djed Spence filling in on the left flank. While this instability in defense provided some context for the team’s struggles, the return of key players has not led to the anticipated upturn in results.

Spurs Stumble Despite European Comeback

Tottenham’s recent struggles could have been even worse if not for their dramatic comebacks against Bournemouth in the Premier League and AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League. Without those spirited fightbacks, Postecoglou’s side would have suffered consecutive league defeats while also crashing out of European competition. The inability to string together consistent performances has only added to the growing sense of frustration among supporters.
However, despite the dismal domestic form, Postecoglou retains the full backing of chairman Daniel Levy—at least for now. According to Romano, Tottenham’s hierarchy is entirely focused on the present, with their primary objective being success in the Europa League. The Italian journalist wrote in his GIVEMESPORT newsletter:
“At the moment, Tottenham’s full focus is on the present. Especially the Europa League, as a crucial target for Spurs this season. Nothing else coming from sources close to the club.”

Europa League: The Last Hope for Silverware

With Tottenham now mathematically out of contention for the Premier League title, the Europa League stands as their only remaining shot at ending a 17-year trophy drought. Their chances of winning silverware in domestic competitions have already evaporated, having been eliminated from the League Cup in the semi-finals and the FA Cup in the fourth round.
A potential failure in Europe, however, would stretch their barren run to 18 years, a scenario that would likely intensify the pressure on Postecoglou. Their upcoming two-legged tie against Eintracht Frankfurt represents a crucial moment in the season. If they fall short, it will not only leave them without a trophy once again but could also cast serious doubts over the club’s long-term direction under the Australian coach.
While Postecoglou’s position appears safe for now, the narrative could shift rapidly if Tottenham continue to falter. Levy’s patience may not be infinite, and with the club’s ambitions hanging by a thread in Europe, the coming weeks could prove decisive in determining the manager’s fate.
