Tottenham stand firm on Postecoglou despite relegation fears after Leicester defeat

Tottenham Hotspur have backed manager Ange Postecoglou despite mounting pressure following a humiliating 2-1 home defeat to Leicester City.

Richarlison’s first-half goal briefly gave Spurs the lead, but Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester staged a dramatic comeback, leaving the North London side just eight points clear of the relegation zone in 15th place.

Despite suffering four consecutive Premier League losses, reports from Football.London confirm that the club have no intention of sacking the 59-year-old manager.

Instead, Spurs plan to strengthen their squad during the January transfer window to address their ongoing injury crisis.

Postecoglou, who was confronted by a frustrated fan shouting, “You’re taking us down,” after Sunday’s defeat, faces increasing scrutiny as his side continues to struggle in the league.

The Australian tactician will look to turn Tottenham’s fortunes around when they face IF Elfsborg in their final Europa League group-stage match on Thursday.
