Daniel Levy intends to give Ange Postecoglou the opportunity to revive Tottenham’s fortunes, with the under-pressure manager to remain in charge for the games this week against Hoffenheim in the Europa League and Leicester in the Premier League, although the situation is precarious.
Levy would normally be expected to sack a manager who has presided over a league run of five points from 10 matches, as Postecoglou has done to leave the club languishing in 15th place. The 3-2 defeat at Everton on Sunday was the latest low, with Spurs 3-0 down at half-time against a team that had scored 15 goals in 20 previous league matches this season. Their rally towards the end did not obscure the faultlines.
