A Manchester United legend has been backed to take over the reins at Tottenham after Ange Postecoglou was sacked by Daniel Levy.

Postecoglou led Tottenham to their first troph…

Former Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon believes Spurs’ silence on Ange Postecoglou’s future indicates that the club are planning to sack the 59-year-old this summer.

Postecoglou guided Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final last month.

However, the Australian’s future remains in doubt following Spurs’ woeful Premier League campaign which saw them finish 17th in the table with 22 defeats.

During Spurs’ Europa League trophy parade, Postecoglou indicated that he would be staying on as manager by telling supporters: ‘All the best television series… season three is better than season two.’

However, Lennon feels Spurs’ lack of clarification over Postecoglou’s future suggests a change of manager could happen.

Asked if Spurs need to clarify Postecoglou’s position, Lennon told talkSPORT: ‘One-hundred per cent, and that’s for everyone, everyone to do with the football club and for the players to know where they’re going.

‘And also you’ve seen the other clubs now they’re already spending early, so you need to get in the market.

‘Spurs know they need players, they’ve just got Champions League football, and that’s squad’s not strong enough, it’s not good enough, and the manager needs to be part of that process, so there does need to be clarification soon and fast to whether he’s going to be staying or not.

‘This awkward silence, I don’t know if it’s alarm bells, I don’t like it, I don’t think it looks good for Ange, in my opinion.’

Asked if he would support Spurs’ decision to sack Postecoglou, Lennon replied: ‘It’s a tough one for me. A lot of people have been asking me and I’ve been scratching my head about this one.

‘Because the thing I always take into account is how do I reckon the players are still playing for him, are the players still behind the manager? I do believe that they are.

‘Normally when a manager is getting sacked or he has lost the dressing room you can see that, you can see the way the team’s playing, you can see it in their interviews after.

‘But every player I’ve seen is so buzzing about Ange and they’ve always got so much good to say about him.

‘It’s a difficult one, I wouldn’t be surprised if they got rid of Ange, I wouldn’t be surprised.’

Lennon also insists Spurs will be making a mistake if they keep delaying a decision over Postecoglou and their summer transfer plans.

‘For me, if I was a manager and even for the players, it’s so much better to get the players in early,’ the former England winger said.

‘Get them in that group in pre-season, going on pre-season trips, getting them bonding, especially if they’re coming from different leagues, just to get them settled, their families settled, it’s vital.

‘For me, Spurs’ squad at the minute is not good enough to play Champions League and to play three games a week at the highest level and then to be pushing up the league where they belong. They need to make investments and make them fast.’

Ange Postecoglou is expected to discover this week his Tottenham fate and is at ‘extreme risk’ of being sacked despite ending the club’s trophy drought.

Spur…

Ange Postecoglou has urged Tottenham’s hierarchy to sign players with ‘experience’ in the summer transfer window.

Spurs head into Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season at home to Brighton on a high following their 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final on Wednesday night.

Postecoglou, who has ended Spurs’ 17-year wait for a trophy, admitted after the victory in Bilbao that he sacrificed the team’s Premier League campaign in order to focus on winning the Europa League.

Spurs have been hampered by multiple injuries to key players this season, forcing Postecoglou to heavily rely on 19-year-old duo Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, who were both signed last summer with no Premier League experience.

Postecoglou, who suggested during Spurs’ trophy parade on Friday that he is staying for a third campaign, believes the club now need to add more seasoned players to his squad ahead of their return to the Champions League next term.

‘You learn from every season,’ Postecoglou said ahead of Spurs’ game against Brighton.

‘Looking back at our pre-season last year, I don’t think it was ideal and there were certain things we needed to do differently, and certainly design differently for the coming year, how we get our guys ready for the biggest challenge of Premier League and Champions League football, we know it’s a massive challenge.

‘I think our players will be better equipped. People forget, we signed Dom [Solanke] who has been unbelievable for us but then we signed three teenagers, they weren’t ready for what was ahead. They’ve been unbelievable, obviously Wilson [Odobert] has missed a lot of the season but Lucas and Archie [have been] unbelievable.

‘We signed three teenagers and the start of next year they’re not going to be teenagers, they’re more than ready so we’ll be in a better space straight away.

‘That’s the other lesson learned, I don’t think it would be my sort of direction, you need to now bring in some experience for this group in terms of our recruiting. So that changes, you learn some lessons from that as well.

‘I said all along, I have still felt there has been growth this year and we’ll be much better placed at the beginning of next year to tackle what’s ahead than we were at the start of this one.’

Postecoglou also said he was ‘overwhelmed’ by the thousands of supporters who attended Spurs’ trophy parade on Friday.

‘Come Monday, I won’t have a care in the world, but I assume I’ll have an indication at some point. Only because you know there’s some serious planning to do more than anything else, but I won’t have any problem switching off,’ Postecoglou said.

‘I was overwhelmed by the sea of people and every demographic you can think of. There were grown men crying, women, girls and boys just so ecstatic.

‘When you see the sheer magnitude of the numbers, you realise it is a massive club.

‘I had a sense of that before I joined but I guess even for the club itself, it reaffirms that missing piece of success and what it can do to galvanise a supporter base and really show the size of the club.

‘It’s fair to say it is a massive club and the opportunity now is to make it bigger than ever.’
