Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham Hotspur might depend on how they do in the Europa League. Doing well in this competition could really matter for how long he stays especially when you look at Erik ten Hag’s situation at Manchester United. Also Tottenham’s got some big problems with injuries before they play Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
- How well they do in Europa League could help Postecoglou keep his job
- Looking at Erik ten Hag shows how important European competitions are
- Tottenham has lots of injured players like Heung-min Son and James Maddison
The Role of the Europa League in Managerial Futures
The Europa League is really important now when clubs look at their managers. For Tottenham’s head coach Ange Postecoglou winning this competition could help him keep his job at the club. Times Sport posted something saying that winning Europa League would be better for keeping Postecoglou than what Manchester United did when they kept Erik ten Hag last season.
“Were he to win the Europa League, there is a far stronger case for keeping Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham than there was for Manchester United retaining Erik ten Hag last season”

This shows how European competitions can really change things for managers, and how doing good in just the local league isn’t enough anymore.
Tottenham’s Injury Woes Before Nottingham Forest Clash
While Tottenham Hotspur gets ready to play Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, they got some serious problems with injuries. Important players like Heung-min Son and James Maddison are hurt which makes things really hard for Postecoglou. These problems could mess up how Tottenham plays making this next game super important for how they do in the league.
These injuries make things way harder for Postecoglou while he tries to handle both the regular league and European games.
Comparisons with Manchester United’s Managerial Decisions
What’s happening at Tottenham is kinda like Manchester United where everyone watches real close what they do with managers. Last season Erik ten Hag stayed partly cause of how the team did in Europe. Players like Jadon Sancho and Casemiro were really important in United’s up-and-down season doing good stuff in both regular games and European ones.
How they played shows how important having your best players is for winning which Tottenham should remember while they try to win the Europa League.
