Tottenham Hotspur’s struggles this season have cast doubt over Ange Postecoglou’s long-term future, with reports suggesting that Fulham boss Marco Silva is a top contender to replace him.
Spurs currently find themselves in 14th place in the Premier League, having already exited both domestic cup competitions. Their recent 2-0 defeat to Fulham marked their 15th league loss of the season, further raising concerns about Postecoglou’s position.
Marco Silva emerges as top contender for Tottenham job in case of Ange’s sacking
As reported by The Telegraph, Silva is among the leading candidates for the potential managerial role should they opt to sack Ange. The Portuguese coach, who masterminded Fulham’s victory over Spurs last weekend, has reportedly caught the attention of the club’s hierarchy.
Silva has done an impressive job at Fulham, guiding them to eighth place in the league and keeping them within reach of a European qualification spot. His ability to maximize squad potential and implement a structured tactical approach has made him a highly respected figure.
He has been strongly linked with the Spurs job this season as Ange’s struggles continue. journalist James Olley even claimed that the Fulham boss would even leave his current job for an opportunity to manager the North London side.
The 47-year-old’s managerial career has spanned several clubs, including Sporting CP, Olympiacos, Hull City, Watford, and Everton before he took charge at Fulham. Some of his notable achievements include winning the Greek Super League, securing Fulham’s promotion to the Premier League, and leading them to a strong top-half finish last season.

Tottenham’s lacklustre display at Craven Cottage only bolstered Silva’s credentials. Fulham dominated after halftime, with Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon capitalizing on Spurs’ defensive vulnerabilities to seal a convincing victory.
With the Premier League campaign all but lost, Postecoglou’s future at the club may depend on their Europa League journey. Spurs face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals, and winning the competition could be their only route to securing Champions League football next season.
If Tottenham fail to go the distance in Europe, a managerial shake-up could be on the horizon, with Silva emerging as a leading candidate to take charge in North London.
