David Ornstein has stated that Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou will keep his job in north London despite the derby day defeat to Arsenal on Sunday – claiming that the club will likely be fully behind the former Celtic boss to rebuild the club in the same way that Mikel Arteta did for the Gunners.
Gabriel’s header in the second half proved the only goal of the game, and a failure to reply against their local enemy has left Tottenham on just four points from their opening four Premier League games and already with some catching up to do against European chasing sides. But whilst there has been discourse over fans being uninspired by the results on offer, Ornstein claims that Tottenham’s board will have full faith in the Australian gaffer.
Ornstein: Postecoglou Criticism ‘Not Replicated’ by Club
Speaking on The Athletic FC’s podcast on Monday, Ornstein stated that despite Tottenham fans being displeased with Postecoglou for the result against Arsenal, he believes the top brass in the white half of north London won’t budge on their stance on keeping him. The Athletic journalist said:
“So this noise and understandable reaction from a lot of the public, and Spurs fans post the north London derby defeat, I suspect will not be replicated inside the club and in the hierarchy.
“If they are fully behind Ange Postecoglou in the way that Arsenal were when Mikel Arteta was facing external pressure, then you’d like to think that in time, things will improve.
“Whether it’s in the way that Arsenal have, or better, or worse, we will have to wait and see.”
