Ange Postecoglou is set to retain his role as Tottenham manager despite questions over his 'ability' to steer the club in the right direction. The Aussie technician is facing mounting scrutiny following Spurs' latest setback on Sunday. They succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Leicester City, marking their eighth loss in ten Premier League outings.

Richarlison’s 33rd-minue header had Tottenham on course to return to winning ways in the division for the first time since December 15, but Jamie Vardy levelled for Leicester within a minute of the second period before Bilal El Khannouss fired in what proved the winner after 50 minutes.

LONDON – Ange Postecoglou admitted he does not know if he will avoid the sack after Tottenham Hotspur hit a new “low” with a dismal 2-1 home defeat by struggling Leicester City on Jan 26. Postecoglou’s side crashed to a sixth defeat from their last seven English Premier League matches to increase the pressure on the under-fire Australian.
