Ange Postecoglou is set to leave Tottenham at the end of the season, irrespective of whether he leads the club to Europa League glory.
A report in the Daily Telegraph this afternoon claims the Australian will depart the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after two years in charge.

Postecoglou was brought in largely because of his profile as an attack-minded coach with Spurs fans disillusioned with the perceived negative approach adopted by the likes of predecessors Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte.
In his first season, he led them to a fifth-placed finish and won over the crowd with his front-foot tactics and likeable demeanour in interactions with the media.
But it has turned sour this season, both on and off the pitch, although his cause has not been helped by a series of long-term injuries to key players.
Season to forget for Postecoglou and Tottenham
Tottenham are 16th in the Premier League and, in other years, may have been dragged into a relegation battle while they exited the FA Cup at the fourth-round stage.
They did make the semis of the EFL Cup and face Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals of the Europa League but the Telegraph suggests even a European trophy would not be enough to stave off the sack.
Postecoglou has also come under fire from sections of the club’s support this season, although he denied cupping his ears to the away end after his side scored against Chelsea, only for it to be ruled out by VAR.
Earlier in the game, he faced chants of “you don’t know what you’re doing” after taking off Lucas Bergvall and bringing on Pape Sarr.
Spurs beaten by Forest
Spurs lost again last night, 2-1 to Nottingham Forest to suffer their 18th league defeat of the campaign, just one shy of the club record.
And chairman Daniel Levy is seemingly now prepared to act.
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola and Brentford boss Thomas Frank are likely to be contenders, as is Fulham’s Marco Silva.
