Tottenham make decision on Ange Postecoglou as crunch clash emerges as key to Australian's future as manager

Ange Postecoglou maintains the backing of Tottenham’s board but the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool is emerging as key to the Australian’s prospects. Spurs face Wolves on Sunday off the back of a poor run of form that has seen them lose four of their previous five Premier League games - their only victory coming against bottom of the table Southampton.

The sequence leaves them languishing in the bottom half of the table already nine points adrift of the Champions League qualification places. Nevertheless, Mail Sport understands Postecoglou’s position remains safe for now, though there is an acknowledgment that results need to improve.

Crucially, that Spurs are still in the Europa League and are two matches from Wembley in the Carabao Cup is understood to be working in Postecoglou’s favour. Tottenham have not won a trophy since 2008 and the prospect of lifting silverware for the first time in 17 years would be viewed as major success.
Ange Postecoglou has been coming under pressure due to Tottenham's recent dismal form. The Australian has reatined the backing of Daniel Levy for now but results needs to change. Tottenham's Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool has emerged as key for Postecoglou's future.
However, defeat to Liverpool in the forthcoming two-legged semi-final is set to be a factor towards how the club view Postecoglou’s future, particularly if the team’s league form shows no sign of consistent improvement. The first leg of the clash against Arne Slot’s league leaders is scheduled for January 8, with the second to be played at Anfield on February 6.
