The manager who Tottenham now want to appoint more than anyone else if Ange Postecoglou gets sacked
Even if Ange Postecoglou has been assured about his future as Tottenham Hotspur boss, the former Celtic boss would be worried about whether his time is slowly but surely running out at Spurs.
Tottenham are sticking with Postecoglou for the time being but their patience will naturally be tested if the North Londoners keep losing imꦆportant games.
In any case, it would perhaps be wise if Daniel Levy and the other decision-makers at Tottenham have contingency🐠 plans in place if Ange Postecoglou’s job indeed becomes untenable aft𝔍er a stage.
Levy has been told to appoint Simone Inzaghi to replace the Australian at the end of the season by Fabio Paratici. But the bad news for Paratici is that Inter Milan are keen on extendജing Inzaghi’s contract.
Another manager who has been linked with the Tottenham job is AFC Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola.

Iraola has impressed Tottenham and peඣrhaps the rest of the Premier League as h🐈is Cherries side are placed seventh in the Premier League.

Andoni Iraola on top of Tottenham’s manager shortlist if they sack Ange Postecoglou
Andoni Iraola, 42 is one of Europe’s most exciting young managers and since heading to Bournemouth, his high-risk brand of football has🙈 made the Vitality Stadium one of the toughest places to visit in England.
With Iraola’s contract set to expire in 2026, it is only natural that several teams are taking a very ♔close look at his future a🅰t Bournemouth.
Tottenham are certainly one of the sides who hugely admire Andoni Iraola, with the reporting that the Spaniard is at the top of their managerial shortlist in case they decide to sack Ange Postecoglou.
Bournemouth feel they can keep the former Rayo Vไallecano boss at the club for longer and the man himself is not expected to jump at the chance to head to Spurs if they come calling, especially this season.
Sources have told TBR Football that Bournemouth🍌 are looking to extend Iraola’s contract, who is also a name Manchester City considered bringing in if Pep Guardiola had left the Etihad Stadium i﷽n the summer of 2025.
Whether that means that Spurs potentially reaching out to 🍒him will definitively not turn the Bournemouth manager’s head around remains to be seen.
Even lifelong Tottenham supporter and former player Jamie O’Hara would like Iraola to replaceꩲ Postecoglou as he woul🀅d like the 59-year-old to be sacked once and for all.
The you🐠ng manager is exactly the up-and-coming manager that would potentially be best-suited to 🦩lead the Spurs project.
Tottenham would like to hold talks with Iraola
Tottenham would like to speak to Andoni Iraola if they decide to move on from Ange Postecoglou.
Iraola has lauded Tottenham’s players previousl🦂y, namely James Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Yves Bissouma and the highly-rated manager will have a clear understanding of how massive a club Spurs are.
As ꦫthings stand, however, it is impossible to deny that Bournemouth’s project looks far more promising than that ꦍof Tottenham’s.
