Tottenham's stance on sacking beleaguered Ange Postecoglou revealed as Newcastle defeat extends Spurs' dire run of form

Spurs' terrible run of form continued in the Premier League as they suffered a third defeat in their last four Premier League outings against Newcastle United last Saturday. Dominic Solanke handed the north London side an early lead but it lasted for just two minutes as Anthony Gordon brought the Magpies back into the game before Alexander Isak scored the winning goal in the 38th minute.

The defeat against Eddie Howe's side meant that Tottenham dropped to the 12th position on the league table. The club's poor form in the 2024-25 campaign has led to speculation over manager Postecoglou's future, however, journalist David Ornstein has claimed that the club have faith in the head coach's abilities and are not thinking about sacking him midseason.

Speaking on NBC Sports, Ornstein said: "Ange Postecoglou is 100 percent safe in his job, I'm told. There is no uncertainty over his future despite the pressure he appears to be feeling in some of his public comments.

"They are backing him to lead this project forward and they would hope he delivers. They've got a chance of a League Cup trophy, of a Europa League trophy. They are focusing on that. They are also fighting to get into the top four, although, realistic about their chances on that too."

Spurs will aim to get back to winning ways on Wednesday as they take on Premier League leaders Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at home.
