TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Tottenham Hotspur have identified Thomas Frank and Andoni Iraola as candidates in case Ange Postecoglou is sacked, however, Daniel Levy remains fully supportive of his current boss.

Tottenham are 12th in the Premier League after 20 matches and have now lost over half their games this season after being beaten at home by Newcastle United.

Usually, such underwhelming performances would see the manager sacked, but TBR Football has learned that the North London club are understanding of the situation given their extensive list of injuries.

Daniel Levy is still backing Ange Postecoglou

Ange Postecoglou retains the full support of Daniel Levy despite the team’s recent poor run of results, sources have told TBR Football's chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.

Levy actually believes that Postecoglou has performed as well as could be expected with Tottenham’s squad being decimated by injuries.

Spurs’ current injury list features Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore and Richarlison.

The Lilywhites are keen to secure Champions League football this term and whilst that looks unlikely at this stage, there is a belief at the club that almost all their issues are down to the squad not being able to cope with injuries.

But, as is often the case when things aren’t going so well at a football club, Tottenham’s hierarchy have started doing their due diligence should they feel the need to part ways with Postecoglou.

Tottenham impressed by Thomas Frank and Andoni Iraola

TBR Football can reveal that Thomas Frank and Andoni Iraola are the two managers who have impressed the North London club.

Frank has done an excellent job in the West of the capital having taken Brentford from a Championship team into a side now competing for European places.

Iraola has also made quite an impression at Bournemouth with his team sitting in seventh place and just one point behind Manchester City.

Whether Spurs could attract either of the Premier League managers away from their current clubs is uncertain, but what’s clear is that Postecoglou’s job at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is safe for now.
