[Saba Sports News] In the 23rd round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 1-2 home defeat to second-bottom Leicester City, marking their eighth loss in the last ten league games, currently placing them 15th in the standings. According to British media, despite the poor performance, Tottenham still supports manager Ange Postecoglou and plans to address injury issues through signings in the next week or two. Postecoglou is aware that the team’s performance under his leadership is far from satisfactory, especially given the strong squad at the start of the season, and the defense has been lacking. However, he hasn’t received the necessary support from the club’s higher-ups. Notably, Postecoglou’s annual salary is £5 million, and he signed a four-year contract with Tottenham. Having been in North London for only 18 months, if he is sacked now, Tottenham would have to pay him £12 million. If Daniel Levy and Tottenham decide to change managers, it would be the 14th managerial change in 25 years. Who would come in mid-season and adapt to the club’s ongoing turmoil? A managerial change at this time may not bring sudden hope.
