Despite delivering Tottenham’s first trophy in 17 years with a Europa League triumph, Ange Postecoglou’s future at the club remains uncertain.

Ange Postecoglou faces an uncertain future at Tottenham Hotspur despite winning the club a Europa League trophy after securing a dominant 1-0 win over Manchester United in the final last Wednesday.

The Europa League final win secured Tottenham Hotspur their first trophy in 17 years, making that a historic achievement for the club.

However, Tottenham Hotspur have not had the best of seasons in the English Premier League as they were forced to end their campaign in 17th place. Out of their 38 matches, the Spurs won 11, drew 5 and lost 22.

In this article, Pulse Sports Kenya looks at five reasons why Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham Hotspur remains a mystery after a mixed season.

1) Ange Postecoglou is the Only One Addressing the Uncertainty

As quoted by Sky Sports, Ange Postecoglou made it clear that he feels alone in fielding questions about his future despite not being the one who has the answer.

The silence from management, including club chairman Daniel Levy, highlights a lack of transparency or communication from the board or senior management.

“I’ve had to answer the questions because no one else at the club is kind of in the position to do so, I guess... You’re asking the person who can’t give you that answer.”

The absence of a firm club statement or public support suggests either internal deliberation or hesitation, especially concerning growing links between Ange Postecoglou.

2) Ange Postecoglou Acknowledges the Doubts

Ange Postecoglou himself admitted that the questions about his future are not coming out of nowhere.

He acknowledged that there is external doubt, which indicates something real is causing the speculation, which could possibly be conversations behind the scenes, or his openness to opportunities.

“You're right to ask the question...you wouldn’t be asking it if there wasn’t a doubt.”

Ange Postecoglou has publicly conceded the possibility of departure, whether immediate or pending, fueling legitimate uncertainty about whether he will continue next season.

3) Ange Postecoglou’s Premier League Struggles with the Spurs

Tottenham began the season strongly under Ange Postecoglou, even topping the Premier League table briefly in the autumn.

However, the Spurs struggled to keep the momentum and have since finished distant 17th place in the Premier League table. They have endured a torrid Premier League season, losing 22 out of their 38 matches.

Their Europa League victory, however, guarantees them a place in the Champions League and this should be reason enough for him to stay.

“I really think this is a moment in time where this club can really push on... But I can't answer that question about me and my future.”

4) Ange Postecoglou is Emotionally and Physically Fatigued

Ange Postecoglou openly admitted he is mentally drained from the season and is not in the mindset to make big decisions at the moment. That exhaustion adds another layer of ambiguity.

“Probably I’m talking now because I’m tired, mate… I just want to go on a break and enjoy my family and reflect.”

His need for time away could mean from any major conversations about his role or future ambitions at Tottenham or elsewhere.

5) Ange Postecoglou Believes in the Project, But Others May Not

Ange Postecoglou is invested in what he is building at Tottenham. He referenced his history of lifting clubs like Celtic and Yokohama F. Marinos and sees Spurs as another project capable of long-term success.

“Wherever I’ve been, I’ve kind of made an impact... even after I’ve left, they’re still competing for things.”

However, belief from the manager is not enough, as it also depends on boardroom backing, squad investment, and alignment of long-term goals.

With no director of football, several transfer targets unclear, and the bigger question is whether the Spurs truly back Postecoglou for the next step, or consider a change.

While Postecoglou remains confident in the squad and his vision, his comments show frustration with the lack of clarity from Tottenham and tiredness after a draining season.
