Tottenham Hotspur hasn’t confirmed or denied reports that Postecoglou is leaving the club, but the team’s recent defeats point to him bowing out before the end of the season.
If this happens, many fans believe (and hope) Andoni Iraola will take his place to help the club enjoy more success in the Premier League.
Also, betting odds have placed him as the favorite to replace Postecoglou, with the odds firmly in his favor.
However, Bournemouth is reportedly eager to extend Iraola’s contract, as his rock-solid defensive structure, aggressive playing style, and fluid attack have helped Bournemouth enjoy success in the Premier League this season.
Of course, there is no guarantee Iraola will want to leave Tottenham for Bournemouth, as he might be eager to help them become a top four team during his tenure.
Who Else Could Be the Next Manager at Spurs?
It is unlikely Tottenham Hotspur will put all their eggs in one basket when looking for a new manager.
While it might be eager to secure Andoni Iraola, it is likely discussing the possibility of other experienced managers joining the club next season.
For instance, Marco Silva is widely tipped to join Spurs as head coach, as he helped Fulham win the Championship title and secure a promotion to the Premier League during the 2021-2022 season.
Also, he has helped Fulham maintain a stable position since its return, as the team has consistently improved to compete with the biggest clubs and comfortably avoided the relegation zone.
Kieran McKenna is another potential candidate for the manager position at Spurs. As he has helped Ipswich Town secure back-to-back promotions, he has proved he has what it takes to turn a club’s fortunes around.
He has a strong history at Tottenham, too, as he spent seven years at its academy. However, his playing days came to an abrupt end following a hip injury. For this reason, he might be happy to return to the club that kickstarted his soccer career.
As he has the ability to maximize young talent, he might be a perfect fit for Spurs, as he could help its youngest stars enjoy more success on the pitch. It is for this reason that Manchester United and Chelsea were reportedly eager to secure him as manager last summer.
McKenna is yet to comment on the reports, as he is focused on helping Ipswich Town avoid relegation, meaning he likely won’t accept the Spurs management job until the end of the 2024-25 season.
Of course, other managers have been tipped to take over Postecoglou, such as Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Frank, Ryan Mason, Brendan Rodgers, and Roberto Martinez, to name a few options.
