Edin Terzic is the favourite to replace Postecoglou however, having been out of work since leaving Borussia Dortmund after guiding them to last season’s Champions League final. Fulham’s Marco Silva, Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola are also leading contenders.

Tottenham finished the game just eight points clear of the relegation zone ahead of Ipswich's meeting with Manchester City, leaving Postecoglou under mounting pressure to address their dismal league run.

Former Tottenham star Jamie O’Hara said he would be ‘surprised’ if Ange Postecoglou managed to survive the sack as the club collapsed to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Everton. Postecoglou was already facing intense scrutiny after a wretched run of just two wins in seven games and the situation went from bad to worse at Goodison Park this afternoon.

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou accepted responsibility for their embarrassing first-half performance at Everton which led to a 3-2 defeat and left the club floundering in 15th place. A 12th league defeat of the season was only made to look slightly better by the two goals scored by Dejan Kulusevski and former Toffees forward Richarlison in the final 13 minutes.

Ange Postecoglou has fought off pressure amid a disappointing run for Tottenham but the two biggest tests to his tenure could still be yet to come
