Tottenham Hotspur have reaffirmed their trust in manager Ange Postecoglou despite a dismal 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on Sunday, marking Spurs’ 13th loss of the Premier League season.

Postecoglou’s Position Safe Despite Mounting Pressure
Spurs currently sit in 15th place in the Premier League, with only 24 points from 23 matches. Sunday’s defeat to a struggling Leicester side highlighted the team’s ongoing struggles, exacerbated by a severe injury crisis that has sidelined key players like Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
Speaking after the loss, Postecoglou acknowledged the challenges facing the squad:
“The injuries are tough, and we’re doing what we can, but I can’t guarantee I’ll still be here by the time some of these players are back.”
Despite this, reports suggest that Postecoglou’s job is not immediately under threat. Tottenham officials reportedly understand the impact of the injury crisis and believe the manager deserves more time to turn things around.
Frustrations Mount Toward Chairman Daniel Levy
While Postecoglou is facing scrutiny, much of the frustration from Spurs fans has been directed at chairman Daniel Levy. The January transfer window has seen minimal activity, with only Antonin Kinsky and young winger Yang Min-hyeok added to the squad.
Postecoglou has avoided publicly criticizing the club’s transfer policy, instead choosing to defend the efforts of the recruitment team:
“I know they are trying to bring in reinforcements. We’re playing with fire if we don’t act soon, but I believe in the process.”
Levy has reportedly promised at least one more signing before the end of the transfer window, although no specific targets or positions have been revealed.
Can Tottenham Turn Their Season Around?
With fans growing impatient and the relegation zone looming closer, Tottenham’s future remains uncertain. However, Postecoglou’s ability to navigate the challenges of an injury-riddled squad could be crucial in determining the remainder of Spurs’ season.
