BREAKING NEWS Tottenham interested in ‘available’ manager who was in talks to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool last summer

Following defeat to Leicester City, talk of Tottenham Hotspur potentially parting ways with Ange Postecoglou has only intensified.

Tottenham remained 15th in the Premier League after the defeat, and the club are edging closer to a relegation battle with every passing week right now – Postecoglou is currently unable to stop the defeats.

That being said, Tottenham are sticking by Postecoglou for now, the former Celtic manager is still being backed by Daniel Levy.

Of course, fans in N17 have also been voicing their displeasure towards Levy himself recently, who is also taking a significant portion of the blame.

Tottenham fans unveiled a banner criticising Levy during the aforementioned 2-1 loss to Leicester, a difficult period for the club all round.

Tottenham admire former Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac

That being said, if Levy does decide to pull the trigger on Postecoglou’s time in north London, there’s already one or two candidates emerging to start a new era at the club.

According to Mail Sport, Tottenham ‘admire’ former Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac, who is currently out of work.

Kovac’s agents were in contact with Liverpool to replace Jurgen Klopp last summer according to reports, who ended up appointing Arne Slot.

53-year-old Kovac was most recently in charge of Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, where he didn’t enjoy a lot of success.

Kovac was sacked in March given the club’s on-the-pitch struggles, although that hasn’t deterred Borussia Dortmund’s interest in the Berlin-born Croatian.

In the report mentioned, Kovac is said to be of interest to Spurs and ‘available’, although it’s also added that he could be destined for the Dortmund job.

Daniel Levy is right to stick by Ange Postecoglou for now

Of course, with all these potential replacements being mentioned, it has to be asked – are they actually better than Postecoglou?

Tottenham also like Edin Terzic according to reports, another manager who has enjoyed mixed success in the Bundesliga.

But both Kovac and Terzic might also struggle to get results at Spurs, such is the depth of the injury crisis at the club right now.

Gary Lineker warned Tottenham about sacking Postecoglou recently, citing other recent examples in the Premier League.

And despite poor results in north London, it’s understandable why Levy is currently reluctant to let Postecoglou go, a manager who is dealing with so many issues at Spurs.
