Why beleaguered Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou is set to end ties with the club at the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur is set to carry out an overhaul of it's football operation in the summer.

One of the big casualties of the wholesale changes at the London-based club is the prospect of manager Ange Postecoglou  leaving, in a wide-ranging summer overhaul according to the Daily Mail.

The former Celtic coach has overseen a deeply disappointing season in the Premier League with their loss against Nottingham Forest – the 18th of the season – leaving them in lowly 16th.

The loss against Forest was the final straw that broke the camel's back despite their different trajectory in the Europe. It has been a different story in the Europa League with Spurs in the semi-final and potentially three games away from the Champions League qualification awarded to the winner.

Should that be the case Postecoglou could avoid the axe, but belief has grown over the past few weeks that the 59-year-old will depart regardless.

Possible Ange Postecoglou replacement

Several names have been mentioned as potential replacement for the Australian.

Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola and Fulham’s Marco Silva would be among the leading candidates as a replacement, while Scott Parker, who guided Burnley to promotion, also has admirers within the club.

Parker played for Spurs, was well-liked by supporters and also coached within the club’s academy set-up. Iraola would, however, appear to be more suited to the shift in tactics and focus on attacking football engineered by Postecoglou while Parker’s success at Turf Moor has been built on the back of a resolute defence that has conceded just 15 times in 44 Championship matches.

Former boss Mauricio Pochettino would like to return at some point but is currently the USA coach and has a home World Cup to come next year.

Brentford’s Thomas Frank is also on the radar. Tottenham will play Norway’s Bodo/Glimt in the semi-final and, should they be successful, would face Athletic Bilbao or Manchester United in the final, which is in Bilbao.

Postecoglou has often spoken of his record of winning trophies in his second season at a club and doing so this year could open the door for a more dignified exit.

Spurs have not won a trophy since 2008 and Postecoglou has had to contend with a series of issues as he seeks to end that drought.
