Ange Postecoglou may have narrowly escaped the sack at Tottenham Hotspur, according to former Premier League striker Troy Deeney.
Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou, has been under pressure for much of the season following his side’s slump into the bottom half of the Premier League table and their early exits from two cup competitions.
However, in recent weeks, Spurs have shown signs of a resurgence, with the Lilywhites winning three consecutive league matches to restore some optimism among supporters.
Their latest victory came at Portman Road where Brennan Johnson and co endured a shaky start but eventually asserted control, with Spurs securing a dominant 4-1 win against Ipswich Town.
A brace from Johnson and a goal apiece from Djed Spence and Dejan Kulusevski ensured a third successive Premier League win.
Troy Deeney says Tottenham win at Ipswich saved Postecoglou’s job
Following their triumph at the weekend, Troy Deeney suggested that Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham hinged on that result.
Speaking in his BBC Sport ‘Team of the Week’ column, Deeney claimed the Australian manager could have been dismissed had Spurs lost.
