Ange Postecoglou and Andoni Iraola
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is reportedly on Tottenham's shortlist if they decide to sack Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham reportedly have Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola and Fulham coach Marco Silva on their shortlist of candidates should they axe Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs' disastrous season continued on Sunday after they were beaten 2-0 by Silva's Fulham and have now recorded 15 defeats in the Premier League with nine league matches still to play.
Tottenham, who are 14th in the table, still have a chance of ending the season with silverware after reaching the Europa League quarter-finals and have a two-legged tie against Eintracht Frankfurt coming up next month.
But there has been growing fan unrest towards Postecoglou after yet another poor display and result, with a chorus of supporters calling for an immediate change.

According to the Telegraph, Iraola and Silva would be top candidates to succeed Postecoglou in the event the Australian was sacked, with both impressing in their roles this season.
Bournemouth are tenth in the table but still just four points off fifth place - which is likely to guarantee Champions League football. They have caught the eye with some vibrant attacking displays that have seen wins over Forest, Newcastle, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City this season.
Fulham, meanwhile, are eighth after their late win over Spurs on the weekend and they are just three points off fifth.

The report claims Bournemouth would fight to keep Iraola on board at the Vitality Stadium - with sources suggesting he would be interested in the Spurs job - though there are doubts over Silva's future despite his superb work at Craven Cottage.
It adds that the Europa League will be crucial to Postecoglou's job security given that winning the trophy would guarantee Champions League football.
However, it goes on to say that there has been no indication the former Celtic boss would be sacked if Tottenham fail to win the competition.
Postecoglou still has support from the board, who are understanding about the team's major injury crisis this season, the report continues.
