Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly under consideration to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur.
Ten Hag was sacked by United in late October, with his final game being a 2-1 loss at the hands of West Ham.
The Dutchman had been in the dugout since 2022 and led United to Carabao Cup and FA Cup glory during his two-and-a-half years in charge.
He has been linked to multiple managerial roles, most notably at RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.
Now, Fichajes report that Spurs are eyeing Ten Hag as a potential replacement for Postecoglou, who is under immense pressure following the London club’s extremely poor form.
Spurs are in turmoil at the moment, having lost five of their six games in the Premier League. They’re currently in 15th position in the table and just eight points above the relegation zone.
The club’s defeat on Sunday at the hands of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City saw fans chant against chairman Daniel Levy, while Postecoglou also got his fair share.
According to Fichajes, Postecoglou is “on the ropes” and Spurs have informed him that his position is in danger.
“Among the names that are beginning to be mentioned is that of Erik ten Hag, who was recently sacked by Manchester United after a period of ups and downs at Old Trafford.
“Ten Hag’s experience and ability to rebuild teams could be key in Tottenham’s decision, as they seek stability and immediate results.”
The report further notes that the next few days will be “crucial” in determining who will take charge of Spurs if Postecoglou were to be relieved of his duties.
It’s understood that at the moment, Postecoglou retains the support of the Spurs hierarchy but results need to dramatically improve.
