Wait 5 sec.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are indeed fans of Andoni Iraola but has provided an interesting update on where the club stand regarding the future of Ange Postecoglou.Daniel Levy has been pretty trigger-happy over the course of his Spurs tenure when it comes to ruthlessly getting rid of managers if he feels the team is not moving in the right direction.However, the Spurs chairman has resisted the urge to sack Ange Postecoglou despite Tottenham’s continued struggle over recent months.Levy and the Tottenham hierarchy will hope that the Australian now repays their faith by guiding the club to a respectable league finish and Europa League glory as the Lilywhites’ injury situation continues to improve each passing week.(Credit @thefrederikkejensen / Instagram)Ben Jacobs reveals whether Spurs will make a move for Andoni IraolaJacobs has now confirmed that Iraola’s work at Bournemouth is admired by the Spurs decision-makers and he remains at the top of the North London side’s wishlist if they decide to part ways with Postecoglou.However, the journalist makes it clear that for the moment, Tottenham are not planning to get rid of their head coach at the end of the season and are instead determined to continue backing the 59-year-old.When asked about Spurs’ interest in the Cherries boss, Jacobs told GiveMeSport: “It’s true that Tottenham appreciate Andoni Iraola, but it’s nothing more than that at this stage, they’ve not made any kind of approach. They’ve not crystallised any kind of post-Ange plan, because they want to back Postecoglou.“So if, hypothetically, there’s a vacancy, you would expect Iraola to be further discussed. But there isn’t a vacancy right now, and there isn’t an urgency to draw up that shortlist at this stage of the season.”Ange Postecoglou’s future will be dictated by Europa League showingOne would think that Postecoglou has to at least take Spurs to the semifinals of the Europa League and achieve a top-six finish if he is to be in the Tottenham hotseat at the start of next season.Otherwise, it would be difficult for the club to justify keeping faith in the Australian and continue backing him in the transfer market.Iraola appears a readymade replacement for Postecoglou if Tottenham do pull the plug on the current project, but the Spaniard is not going to be short of options if he does decide to leave the South Coast club at the end of the season.The post Tottenham’s plans for Ange Postecoglou revealed amidst Andoni Iraola interest appeared first on Spurs Web.
