WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT WAS SAID?
According to Fabrizio Romano, Fulham's Marco Silva and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola are two contenders to replace Postecoglou, while former Juventus head coach Thiago Motta has been ruled out. Speaking in the latest GiveMeSport newsletter, he said: "I’m still hearing about Iraola and Silva as two concrete options. For Motta, no contacts at this stage."

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Postecoglou's job at Spurs is hanging by a very thin thread and it appears only triumph in the Europa League will keep him safe. Both Silva and Iraola have impressed in the top flight this season, each fighting for Europe with their considerably cheaper squads and smaller resources.

WHAT NEXT?
Spurs face Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday in what could end up being Postecoglou's last game in charge, unless they can manage to pull ahead of the German side following a 1-1 draw in north London.
