Tottenham consider three Premier League rival managers as Ange Postecoglou pressure ramps up

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is under huge pressure after his side suffered their 17th Premier League defeat of the season against Wolves and three managers are in the frame to replace him

Fulham will face a major battle to keep Marco Silva if Tottenham come calling. And Crystal Palace in-demand manager Oliver Glasner is another name in the frame along with Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is under increasing pressure with a growing belief that he could go even if they win the Europa League.

Postecoglou admitted himself last week there was a “general sentiment” that he could be axed this summer no matter what.

Tottenham crashed to a 17th Premier League defeat of the season at Wolves on Sunday which is unthinkable for a club with ambitions of being in the Champions League.

Spurs have been supportive and stuck with Postecoglou through a difficult season which has seen the squad ravaged by injuries.

But the Spurs fan base have got major doubts and that may force the hierarchy to act with Silva gaining admirers for the job he has done at Craven Cottage.

Fulham will be determined to keep him but Silva – who has managed previously at Olympiacos, Hull, Watford and Everton – may find it difficult if a club with top six ambitions comes in.

Silva has been at Craven Cottage since 2021, it has been reported that he has a £6m get-out clause and has previously turned down big-money approaches, including one from the Saudi Pro League.

When asked last week about his future, Silva – who has one year left on his existing deal – insisted he is fully “focused” on his current job.

Iraola has also been one of the managers linked with Spurs but Bournemouth are pulling out all the stops to keep their highly-rated boss.

Bournemouth have had a superb season even if their form has tailed off in recent weeks but they will back their manager in the market.

Palace boss Glasner is also gaining admirers with RB Leipzig heavily linked in Germany while Bayern Munich expressed an interest last year.

Tottenham face a Europa League second leg trip to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday with the chance to progress after drawing 1-1 at home last week. Winning the trophy would also offer a passport into the Champions League.
