Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou faces an uncertain future at the club, and Andoni Iraola is being eyed as his replacement.
Tottenham were expected to fight for Champions League qualification this season and do well in domestic cup competitions. Instead, they find themselves out of the domestic cup competitions, and they are 15th in the league table.
Although they have reached the semifinals of the Europa League, Postecoglou could be shown the door at the end of the season. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has been linked as a potential replacement. According to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham are keen on the 42-year-old Spanish manager after his exploits with the Cherries.
Andoni Iraola offered new deal at Bournemouth
Spurs are set to be dealt a major blow in their pursuit of the 42-year-old manager. The report claims that Bournemouth do not want to let Iraola leave the club this summer, and they are hoping to tie him down to a new contract with “talks ongoing” between the two parties. It will be interesting to see if the two parties can iron out an agreement.
The opportunity to manage Tottenham could be quite attractive for the Spanish manager, and it remains to be seen whether the north London outfit can convince him to snub a new deal at Bournemouth and join them instead.
It is evident that Tottenham need a fresh start, and Iraola could be a quality appointment. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he will look to make an instant impact at Tottenham. Postecoglou has been criticised for his overly attacking system, and Tottenham need a manager with a more balanced approach. The Spanish manager could be a good fit for them.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
