Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is under a lot of pressure after his team’s defeat in the North London Derby against Arsenal.
Tottenham have had a mediocre start to the Premier League campaign so far and it remains to be seen whether they can turn things around in the coming weeks. The Australian manager has been backed significantly in the transfer window, but he has not been able to deliver on the pitch.
There have been rumours that Postecoglou could be shown the door in the coming weeks, but Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that the Spurs manager has nothing to worry about and his future at the club is quite secure. Tottenham understand that it will be a long-term project and they are ready to give the Australian manager at the time to build a formidable squad at the North London club.
Romano said in his Daily Briefing with CaughtOffside: “It’s absolutely everything under control at Tottenham – a slow start, of course, a disappointing North London derby, but at the same time, they are not considering any shocking decision for the manager.
“This project is completely, completely involved in the ideas, the plan… the whole project is around Ange Postecoglou. Even in the summer transfer window, they were blending transfers together with him: [Dominic] Solanke, and also the others.
“This is something they are building with the manager – not just for the manager, but with the manager, so they are not going to change anything now. It was again a poor start to the season where they were also unlucky, if you remember the Leicester game. So it’s probably a difficult moment in general for Tottenham, but they absolutely trust in the manager and trust Postecoglou.
“So at the moment there is nothing negative ongoing at the club, no bad feelings, just the moment to change things, and they will do that on the pitch I’m sure.”
Tottenham have a quality squad at their disposal and it will be interesting to see if they can put together a series of impressive performances. They will be expected to compete for domestic trophies this season and they will be desperate to secure Champions League qualification as well. A club of their stature should be competing in the UEFA Champions League regularly.
