Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is facing mounting speculation about his future after a series of poor results, with bookmakers already listing potential replacements.
Among the frontrunners are Andoni Iraola and Thomas Frank, both of whom have impressed with their tactical approaches at Bournemouth and Brentford, respectively.
Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has also been mentioned as a possible return candidate, given his past success at the club.
Despite the growing rumors, Postecoglou remains focused on his work, stating, “I’m not concerned about the noise; my focus is on improving this team every single day.”
However, Tottenham’s recent struggles in domestic cup competitions have only intensified the discussions surrounding his future.
While some supporters believe Postecoglou deserves more time, others argue that a managerial change is necessary to revive Tottenham’s ambitions.
Club chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly assessing all options, with an insider noting, “Levy is always keeping an eye on potential managerial changes, but he still backs Postecoglou—at least for now.”
With Tottenham currently outside the Champions League qualification spots, the pressure continues to mount, and a string of poor results could force the club’s hand.
A former Spurs player weighed in on the situation, saying, “This is a crucial period for the club. The next few matches will determine whether Postecoglou stays or if a new face steps in to take charge.”
As uncertainty looms, Tottenham fans will be eagerly watching how the club navigates this delicate situation.
Bayern Munich, under the guidance of head coach Vincent Kompany, secured a 2-1 victory over Celtic in their Champions League playoff first leg at Celtic Park.
The match saw Michael Olise open the scoring with a stunning strike just before halftime, followed by Harry Kane doubling the lead early in the second half with a volley from a Joshua Kimmich corner.
Despite Bayern controlling 70% possession in the first half, Celtic's disciplined defense kept them at bay until Olise's breakthrough.
Celtic's Nicolas Kühn had an early effort ruled offside, and Daizen Maeda later reduced the deficit with a close-range header in the 79th minute.
Celtic pressured Bayern in the final stages, but Bayern's defense, including a crucial late save from goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, preserved their lead.
Reflecting on the performance, Kompany stated, "Celtic pushed us to the limit in the final minutes, but our squad showed great composure under pressure. These are the moments that define top teams."
Celtic, backed by a passionate home crowd, displayed determination and intensity as they fought to find an equalizer.
The Scottish club came close on multiple occasions, forcing Bayern's defense into crucial interventions.
Despite the loss, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers took positives from his team’s performance, saying, "I'm incredibly proud of the fight we showed. We went toe-to-toe with one of Europe's best, and on another night, we could have taken something from the game."
With this result, Bayern holds a narrow advantage heading into the second leg in Munich, while Celtic faces the challenge of overturning the deficit to keep their Champions League aspirations alive.
