Ange Postecoglou to leave Spurs despite Europa win

Posted : 23 April 2025

Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, is reportedly set to exit the club at the end of the season, regardless of their performance in the UEFA Europa League. Despite a possible route to next season’s UEFA Champions League through winning the Europa League, club sources indicate that his departure is becoming increasingly inevitable. Tottenham have suffered a poor domestic campaign, and Postecoglou could leave either by dismissal or mutual consent.

Names already circulating as potential replacements include Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Fulham’s Marco Silva, Brentford’s Thomas Frank, and even former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino. Iraola is expected to stay with Bournemouth, while Pochettino has hinted he may be open to a return in the future. Tottenham’s technical director, Johan Lange, is also a known admirer of Thomas Frank, suggesting a managerial change is imminent.

Meanwhile, centre-back Cristian Romero is drawing attention from Spanish giants Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The Argentine defender, who has two years remaining on his contract, reportedly has ambitions of playing in La Liga. His performances and long-term value have made him a prime target for both clubs, and Tottenham may face a fight to keep him.

Romero’s interest in a move to Spain aligns with Tottenham’s uncertain future, both in terms of management and squad stability. With the defender openly expressing admiration for La Liga, a transfer could be on the cards this summer, depending on offers and the club’s strategic direction.

In another potential transfer twist, Kalvin Phillips might make a return to Leeds United. After failing to make an impact at Manchester City and struggling on loan at West Ham and Ipswich, Phillips is keen on a comeback to his boyhood club. Leeds' management is reportedly planning a significant squad rebuild should they secure Premier League status.

Leeds are said to be preparing to invest over £100 million in new players, with Phillips one of the top targets to strengthen their midfield. Club president Paraag Marathe has confirmed the board’s commitment to manager Daniel Farke, who will be given the opportunity to prove himself again in the top flight.

Fulham, on the other hand, are waiting until the end of the Premier League season before making decisions on players with expiring contracts. Key names such as Kenny Tete, Tom Cairney, and Willian are all nearing the end of their deals, while the club holds one-year extension options for Raul Jimenez, Adama Traore, and Carlos Vinicius. Their final league position will influence which players are retained.
