Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has found himself under scrutiny after a rocky start to his second season in charge.

Despite high expectations following a successful first year, Spurs have managed only four points from their opening four Premier League games, marking their worst start in nearly a decade. This has raised concerns, with questions arising over how long the Australian coach can withstand the pressure of underwhelming results.

Postecoglou, who has a history of delivering success in his second season at previous clubs, remains defiant. After a bitter home loss to Arsenal in the North London derby, he confidently told Sky Sports, "I always win things in my second year, nothing’s changed." However, the patience of fans and the wider footballing community is being tested.

Pundits like Matthew Upson have hinted at the pressure building on Postecoglou, with Upson stating that the Australian coach could soon face greater scrutiny if Tottenham’s form does not pick up.

However, amidst the growing concerns, Fabrizio Romano has offered clarity on the situation. Speaking on The Debrief, Romano dismissed any talk of a potential sacking. He stated emphatically that Postecoglou is not in danger of losing his job, declaring, "Zero percent chance, no, no, and no."

The club’s board remains fully behind the 59-year-old coach, despite the disappointing start. Tottenham’s summer signings, including Dominic Solanke, were made with Postecoglou’s input, indicating that the club is committed to his long-term vision. The idea is to build a team not just for immediate results but for sustainable success, which takes time.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, for example, endured a tough start at the club, with many calling for his dismissal. Yet, after three seasons, Arteta has implemented a winning culture and style of play that has propelled Arsenal back into title contention. Tottenham may be hoping for a similar trajectory under Postecoglou.
