Fabrizio Romano reveals Bournemouth manager has caught the attention of Tottenham | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur’s season has been turbulent, and with every poor performance, questions about the future of Ange Postecoglou seem to grow louder.

The Australian coach, who took charge of Spurs at the start of the season, has faced mounting pressure due to the team’s underwhelming form in the Premier League.

With the fans expressing concern over the club’s direction, Tottenham's hierarchy finds itself in a delicate balancing act, trying to navigate between their faith in Postecoglou and the growing expectations of success.

The current rumblings in the media suggest that Spurs are not ready to part ways with Postecoglou yet, but the manager's future may depend on the next few games.

With two crucial fixtures against Hoffenheim and Leicester approaching, it has been reported that Postecoglou has just a short window to turn things around if he wants to keep his job.

While pressure mounts, Tottenham's board is allegedly drawing up a list of potential replacements, and some familiar names from the Premier League have emerged as options.

One of the names making the rounds is Andoni Iraola, currently at the helm of Bournemouth.

Fabrizio Romano, a renowned football journalist, told GIVEMESPORT that he believes that the Spanish manager’s work at the Vitality Stadium has undoubtedly caught the attention of Tottenham’s decision-makers.

Bournemouth, a club with lower expectations, has significantly overperformed this season, sitting in seventh place in the Premier League, just two points behind fourth-placed teams.

It’s clear that Iraola’s ability to exceed expectations has impressed Spurs’ hierarchy.

However, Romano adds a key piece of information regarding the potential move, "Andoni Iraola will no doubt be catching Spurs‘ eye with his work at Bournemouth but the Spaniard is highly unlikely to leave the south coast in mid-season and even he can’t magically heal injuries."

This statement hints that, despite Tottenham’s interest, Iraola is likely to stay committed to Bournemouth for the remainder of the season.

Therefore, Spurs might have to wait until the summer or explore other alternatives if Postecoglou’s future is to be decided sooner.

Is Ange Postecoglou’s position really under threat?

With all the rumours circulating, the situation remains fluid. The decision regarding Ange Postecoglou’s tenure at Tottenham seems tied to the club’s upcoming performances.

If Spurs fail to show significant improvement, the managerial changes could come sooner rather than later.

On the other hand, Postecoglou’s position could stabilise with a few strong results, meaning the club will continue to back him in the short term.

Tottenham’s next few matches will be crucial, not only for Postecoglou’s future but for the club’s direction in this uncertain season.
