Reports suggest that Tottenham Hotspur are considering two Premier League managers as potential replacements for Ange Postecoglou.
The pressure on the current Tottenham boss is increasing due to a challenging season.
After enduring a difficult period in December and January, Tottenham also faced elimination from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup within a few days in early February.
The North London team has not secured a victory in their last three Premier League matches, facing Manchester City, Bournemouth, and Fulham.
Despite narrowly defeating AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League round of 16, the recent defeat at Fulham has intensified the scrutiny on Postecoglou.
Currently, Tottenham is positioned 14th in the Premier League, only ahead of Everton and West Ham due to goal difference.
In the event of the club deciding to dismiss Postecoglou, they have reportedly identified two potential candidates to succeed him.
According to The Telegraph, Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva are the leading contenders for the Tottenham managerial position.
Marco Silva was managing Fulham during their 2-0 victory against Tottenham on Sunday, with his team currently in eighth place.
Bournemouth, managed by Andoni Iraola, are just one point behind Fulham and two places lower in the league, with Iraola being praised for his excellent work.
Both Fulham and Bournemouth have also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals, holding aspirations for success at Wembley in May.
Bournemouth will likely make efforts to retain Iraola, who is expected to be a sought-after manager in the summer, with reports linking him to Real Madrid.
They might consider extending his contract, which runs until 2026, but it is suggested that the Spaniard is interested in the Tottenham job opportunity.
As for Marco Silva, his future with Fulham is uncertain, with indications that both parties might consider parting ways at the end of the season.
Silva’s contract also extends until 2026 and reportedly includes a £6 million release clause.
Postecoglou’s frustration became evident when he had a heated exchange with a fan after the defeat to Fulham.
Tottenham’s last hope for silverware this season remains in the Europa League.
While Postecoglou’s future isn’t solely dependent on winning the Europa League, an early exit to Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals would not be favorable for him.
