"I don't care how people judge me, but don't judge Tottenham players. People can say I did very badly or I'm not good enough, that's fine," coach Ange Postecoglou hinted at the possibility that he is about to be fired.
Coach Ange Postecoglou is ready to accept being fired by Tottenham
Tottenham have been on a losing streak in cup competitions, having lost 0-4 to Liverpool in the second leg of the League Cup semi-final (1-4 on aggregate) and now losing 1-2 to Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Spurs are only in contention for the Europa League title as they have already reached the round of 16, while in the Premier League they are in 14th place with 27 points after 24 matches.
Recently, not only the opposing fans, but also Tottenham fans have been continuously calling for the dismissal of coach Ange Postecoglou and the resignation of the club's president Daniel Levy. Therefore, the pressure is weighing heavily on the 59-year-old Australian strategist.
Coach Ange Postecoglou said: "We have suffered significant losses, at times missing up to 12 players from the first team. So don't judge the current players, they have worked hard for the past two and a half months. If someone judges me, I am ready to accept it. But this group of players have done everything they have. Give them credit."
Coach Ange Postecoglou also mentioned Liverpool's 0-1 loss to second division Plymouth Argyle, to prove that coach Arne Slot had to make many changes to rotate the squad to avoid injuries.
"How did Liverpool play today?" asked coach Ange Postecoglou. "They had to make those choices for a game (bringing in a lot of young players and reserves). We also used teenagers in Europe, then last Thursday and in the Premier League. I think this group of players that is left at Tottenham will still be an excellent team. I have no doubt about that," added coach Ange Postecoglou.
Liverpool shockingly lost in FA Cup, dream of winning 4 titles shattered
According to Mail Sport , regardless of explanations and justifications, the future of coach Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham is extremely uncertain. The Australian strategist can be fired at any time. Most likely, he will have another chance in the match between Tottenham and MU in round 25 of the English Premier League at 11:30 p.m. on February 16.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's dream of winning four trophies in the 2024-2025 season was shattered when they lost in the fourth round of the FA Cup to lower-division Plymouth Argyle. Coach Arne Slot's team is leading the Premier League, in the last 16 of the Champions League and is in the League Cup final against Newcastle on March 16.
In La Liga, Barcelona beat Sevilla 4-1 to close in on the top two teams, now only 2 points behind Real Madrid and 1 point behind Atletico Madrid. This has heated up the three-horse championship race again.
