If Tottenham parts ways with manager Ange Postecoglou (60), Andoni Iraola (43), the Bournemouth manager who is regarded as the top choice for the next head coach, is expected to have a good synergy with Son Heung-min (33).

Tottenham is likely to part ways with manager Postecoglou. This season, they have suffered 15 losses in 29 league matches, and they are currently in 14th place under Postecoglou's regime. They have already been eliminated from both the Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) and the Football Association (FA) Cup.

Tottenham's last hope is the UEFA Europa League. As they advance to the quarterfinals to face Eintracht Frankfurt, if they do not win the tournament, the chances are high that Postecoglou will not have a next season.

Global 'The Athletic' spotlighted three current managers who could be candidates if Postecoglou were to be dismissed, with Iraola of Bournemouth being the top priority.

Despite his young age, Manager Iraola has been achieving better-than-expected results since joining Bournemouth in the summer of 2023. This season, he is 10 points ahead of Tottenham and recorded 1 win and 1 draw against them.

Iraola is particularly regarded as a manager who can recreate the era of Mauricio Pochettino. Pochettino, who was with Tottenham from May 2014 to November 2019, led the team to the Champions League final and established it as a 'Top 6' club.

This outlet claimed, "Currently, Tottenham has many young and promising players such as Mickey van de Ven, Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Beryval, Mikey Moore, and Archie Gray, who may fit Iraola's tactics."

Iraola, who hails from Spain, prefers aggressive tactics, similar to Postecoglou. However, he is known for a style that emphasizes pressing rather than ball possession.

Above all, Iraola's tactics favor disrupting the opponent's buildup through pressing and quick transitions for counterattacks. This is ideal for Son Heung-min, who enjoys making runs into open space using speed.

However, Iraola still has a year left on his contract with Bournemouth. There is also a buyout clause of £10 million, which is not high but exists. This outlet explained, "Iraola himself could receive offers from other big clubs. The vacancy of the Real Madrid managerial position is also a variable."

Marco Silva (48), the Fulham manager from Portugal, and Thomas Frank (52), the Brentford manager from Denmark, are also candidates for consideration. Manager Silva transformed Fulham from a lower-tier to a mid-tier team. He is also noted for his flexible tactics and outstanding ability to utilize strikers.

Manager Silva also has a year left on his contract, similar to Manager Iraola, and includes a buyout clause of over £10 million. The Fulham club wants to keep Manager Silva.

Frank, from the Kim Ji-soo news team, has kept Brentford in the Premier League after promoting them. He is ensuring that Brentford can remain competitive despite a limited budget.

Frank is said to have a friendship with Tottenham's technical director Johan Lange, who is also from Denmark, and is praised for his ability to develop young players. This could align with Tottenham's long-term plans.
