Tottenham's plan for Ange Postecoglou revealed as sack talk ramps up after humiliating home defeat to Leicester

Richarlison's 33rd-minute strike had put Spurs in the lead but Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester City staged a remarkable comeback to clinch the clash 2-1 and pile more misery on the North London side. After Sunday's defeat at home, Ange Postecoglou's side are now just eight points above the relegation zone and currently 15th on the league table.

The series of poor results in the Premier League has fuelled speculations over the manager's future at the club, however, Football.London reports that the Lilywhites are not planning to part ways with Postecoglou amid a huge injury crisis in the squad and would rather focus on buying new players before the January transfer window closes next Monday and bolster the squad.

After the clash against the Foxes, the 59-year-old Spurs boss got involved in a tense exchange at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with an angry fan who screamed “You’re taking us down” from the stands.

After suffering four successive defeats in the Premier League, Tottenham will be back in action in the Europa League on Thursday as they take on IF Elfsborg in their final league-stage match.
