Tottenham Hotspur still have to make a decision on manager Ange Postecoglou, and even though it's been weeks since the Australian coach captured a historic Europa League title for Spurs, chairman Daniel Levy continues to leave both the big man and the entire Tottenham fanbase and organization in the dark.
Levy dragging on an important decision is nothing new, but it doesn't make the situation any less frustrating. If there's one silver lining for the Spurs fans who back Big Ange after he brought them a prestigious trophy this season, then it's the reality that the longer Levy waits, the more likely it is for Postecoglou to stay, especially with top options like Simone Inzaghi getting closer to their own decision points.
Postecoglou has more support in the Tottenham dressing room than anywhere else, and that could be enough to save his job at the end of the day. Star center back Cristian Romero, the actual best player at the Europa League tournament, is such a big backer of Big Ange's that, apparently, he is more willing to stay with Spurs this summer if they keep they coach.
Key midfielders James Maddison, Archie Gray, and Lucas Bergvall all gave Postecoglou a ringing, public endorsement, and now another vital player to Spurs success has thrown his full support behind the manager.
Ange Postecoglou's future outlook is more positive
Right back Pedro Porro was the team's most consistent star throughout the 2024/25 season, and the Portuguese international told The Guardian's Sid Lowe in an interview that Tottenham should stick with Postecoglou: “Him continuing would be good for the dressing room. He has built a very good group and coaches also need time. In the league things didn’t go well but he makes you win a trophy. That’s important too.”
It seems almost unanimous from the dressing room that Postecoglou should stay, and whlie you could argue on two fronts 1) That the players shouldn't make the ultimate decisions and 2) That detractors are far less likely to give public statements than supporters, the future looks brighter for Big Ange after comments like this one from Porro.
There's also the matter that some of Spurs most important players are backing Postecoglou. Romero, Maddison, Bergvall, and Porro are arguably the four best players at Tottenham for the next five years, and all of them want to continue working with Postecoglou.
So even if backing from players only goes so far, comments like these from a player like Porro should go further than the typical public, supportive comments of a player to a manager. These guys all seem to think Postecoglou is an asset who deserves another chance and full marks for winning the Europa League, regardless of the results in the Premier League. And as Levy continues to drag his feet on some sort of an official stance, Postecoglou's future looks more likely in North London.
