Jamie O’Hara has told Ange Postecoglou exactly what he must do in order to save his job at Tottenham Hotspur following yet another defeat.

Tottenham Hotspur lost 1-0 to Man City at Tottenham H♊otspur Stadium with Erling Haaland’s first-half goal proving to be the only goal of a very dull game.

The defeat now places more pressure on Postecoglou whose team are seriously struggling in the Premier League and European football looking very unlikely.

But O’Hara insists ⭕there is one thing the Australian can do in order to make sure he is in the To﷽ttenham dugout ahead of next season.

Jamie O’Hara urges Ange Postecoglou to focus on the Europa League

Jamie O’Hara urged Ange Postecoglou to focus on the Europa League and forget about the Premier League witওh Tottenham sitting in 13th place.

The former Sp🦩urs mid🀅fielder is confident that when the Lilywhites have their best players fit and available, they are the best placed team to win the competition.

Following their defeat to Man🏅 City, O’Hara told Sky Sports: “The Premier League for Tottenham is done. It’s over. It doesn’t matter where we finish, 12th or 9th, we’re not getting European football.

“But what we can do is win the Europa League – AZ Alkmaar is t🐎he biggest game of Ange Postecoglou’s career – that’s next week.

“He wants his best players fit, fresh and ready to go, that’s all his whole focus is, when we play Bournemouth in between that game – play a B-team, the Premier League doesn’t matter ✃now.

“If we win the Europa League, we get Champions League football, Ange Postecoglou could go down as🐈 one of the most successful managers that we’ve had in recent tim🐼es.

“Spurs with their best team, I would say, have got the be𓂃st chance of winning the Europa Leagu💟e.”
