Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has revealed why he substituted striker Richarlison during Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester. Spurs lost their fourth consecutive Premier League game on Sunday to pile further pressure on Postecoglou.

LONDON – Ange Postecoglou admitted he does not know if he will avoid the sack after Tottenham Hotspur hit a new “low” with a dismal 2-1 home defeat by struggling Leicester City on Jan 26. Postecoglou’s side crashed to a sixth defeat from their last seven English Premier League matches to increase the pressure on the under-fire Australian.

Ange Postecoglou dismissed questions over his future after Tottenham hit a new “low” with a 2-1 defeat to Leicester, but retains belief the club can still achieve something special this season.

Sunday's 2-1 home defeat to Leicester extended Spurs' poor run to just one win in 11 league games, increasing the pressure on Postecoglou. The Australian was without 10 injured players for the match and said "at least two others", including midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, were not fit enough to start the game in less extreme circumstances.

Ange Postecoglou has brushed off mounting speculation over his future as winger Dejan Kulusevski backed the beleaguered Tottenham boss by insisting he's the "right man" for the job.
