Telegraph: Levi is under great pressure, Postkoglu is in the air

May 22, According to the Daily Telegraph, although Postkoglu led Tottenham to win the UEFA Cup, ending a 17-year trophy drought, his coaching position is still full of uncertainty. Levi is also facing tremendous pressure because he needs to deal with the coach's stay or leave.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Postkoglu is likely to leave Tottenham after the end of the season, but the UEFA Champions League victory and the qualifying for the Champions League have brought him huge support in the Tottenham fan circle, which also put Levi feeling huge pressure when deciding Postkoglu's future.

Postkoglu called himself a "winner" on Wednesday night and revealed that his decision to prioritize the Europa League and abandon the league in January this year was not unanimously agreed within the club, suggesting internal differences.

Although Tottenham ranked 17th in the Premier League and lost a record 21 games, their UEFA gamble in the Europa League finally paid off. Tottenham beat Manchester United in the final and won the UEFA Cup, and Tottenham fans expressed great gratitude to Postkoglu.

Ten thousand Tottenham fans are expected to welcome Postkoglu and the team in a victory parade on Friday night, and the final Premier League match against Brighton will also be seen as a celebration party.

If Levi fires Postkoglu or tries to negotiate a departure, this passionate excitement will quickly disappear, which will also leave Levi without fault tolerance when choosing a successor.

Levi was previously strongly dissatisfied by fans for firing Pochettino after losing to Liverpool in the 2019 Champions League final. Mourinho, Nuno and Conte were also unsuccessful, which aroused more fans' dissatisfaction until Postkoglu was hired in the summer of 2023. Spurs senior executives such as Levi have been under pressure from fans' protests this season, and the firing of Postkoglu will only put them in greater negative comments.

Postkogru's success this season is largely due to the support of CEO Moon, but the latter is also likely to leave Tottenham, with former Arsenal executive Vina Vene Venkatsch starting as Tottenham's new CEO in June.

Moon is considered to have played a key role in supporting Postkoglu this season, giving the latter a chance to save the team in the European arena. Both are Australians and are said to be close in collaboration, but Levi has been in touch with former football director Paratic, who will return to Tottenham after ending a global ban this summer.

Paratic is considered to be more inclined to return to Tottenham rather than accepting invitations from other teams, and it is unclear whether his return or Moon's future is related to Postkoglu's fate.

Postkoglu has won about £2 million for winning the Europa League, and Levi will also pay a compensation if the 59-year-old Postkoglu leaves Tottenham this summer.

When asked about his future and whether he would meet Levi after the UEFA Champions League, Postkoglu said: "There is no meeting plan for this, we have not had any discussions, and no one has talked to me about anything."

"Maybe they don't think they need it, or they're waiting for the game against Brighton. What I know is that I'll go back to my hotel room and get my family and friends together, open a bottle of good whiskey, have a few drinks, prepare for Friday's parade, and then prepare for Sunday's match against Brighton. Next Monday, my family and I go on vacation together because I deserve some relaxation."

Postkoglu also said that his belief in himself will not shake, no matter what the future will be. The support and gratitude of Tottenham fans for Postkoglu is obvious, and if he is fired, it is expected to cause greater controversy.
