Most Tottenham supporters remain unsure about whether they are satisfied with the way the manager is handling the club.
Due to these ongoing concerns—along with the recent lack of victories and, of course, trophies—rumours of a potential departure continue to circulate.
However, despite the speculation, some reports claim that Ange Postecoglou is not leaving Tottenham simply because there is no immediate replacement.
Among the names being linked with a potential switch, one of the most prominent is Simone Inzaghi, who has established himself as one of Europe’s top coaches with Inter Milan.
Another name frequently mentioned is Andoni Iraola, the current AFC Bournemouth manager.

Football expert Ben Jacobs spoke to GIVEMESPORT and had this to say about Andoni Iraola:
"It’s true that Tottenham appreciate Andoni Iraola, but it’s nothing more than that at this stage, they’ve not made any kind of approach," Jacobs explained.
"They’ve not crystallised any kind of post-Ange plan, because they want to back Postecoglou.
"So if, hypothetically, there’s a vacancy, you would expect Iraola to be further discussed. But there isn’t a vacancy right now, and there isn’t an urgency to draw up that shortlist at this stage of the season."
So, while Iraola is indeed admired by Spurs and remains on their radar, his arrival at Tottenham is unlikely—at least not this season.
As Jacobs himself admitted, Tottenham’s board has no plans to part ways with Ange Postecoglou; in fact, they remain committed to his vision and philosophy.
Although the future is uncertain and things can change—especially with the Europa League on the horizon—the reality is that the club is unlikely to let Postecoglou go anytime soon.
After all, the club’s struggles are not solely down to the manager; they are the result of multiple factors.
Tottenham’s next match will be on 6th March in the Europa League Round of 16, where both the manager and the players will have to give it their all to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
