A very reputable outlet has now claimed that Tottenham Hotspur have already settled on Andoni Iraola as their top choice to replace Ange Postecoglou and has explained one factor which could aid the Lilywhites’ efforts to appoint him.
Over recent weeks, various outlets have suggested that Spurs have already started considering candidates to replace Postecoglou.
Some outlets have even claimed that Daniel Levy has informed Postecoglou that he will need to secure European qualification to stay in his Spurs job.
It has been reported by a few sources that Andoni Iraola has emerged as Tottenham’s top managerial target, and we have now received a big update on Spurs’ pursuit of the Spaniard.

Andoni Iraola’s release clause and Tottenham’s pursuit
The Athletic have now claimed that no matter what happens in the Europa League, Postecoglou is not guaranteed to be in the job next season.
The 59-year-old’s future at the club is ‘in serious doubt’ beyond the summer, with the Lilywhites having set their sights on Iraola.
The Bournemouth boss has a release clause of £10m in his contract, but this is not expected to be a barrier for Tottenham Hotspur and Daniel Levy.
