have made contact with boss about replacing under-fire , according to reports from Germany. Postecoglou is under increasing pressure after leading Spurs to 16 defeats this season, with his side 14th in the table.

Postecoglou's tenure at Spurs looks to be riding on his team's success in the as they prepare for a crucial quarter-final tie against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday. Should the Australian's side go out of the tournament, it will ramp up the heat on his position and there have been multiple reports the club are looking at alternative options in the dugout.

However, it's claimed Glasner is not interested in returning to Germany - having previously coached at Wolfsburg and Frankfurt, where he won the Europa League in 2021-22.

Tottenham would also have the advantage over Leipzig in terms of being able to offer Glasner a much higher salary. Leipzig are spearheaded by former boss , who was appointed head of global soccer for Red Bull last year.

Despite Tottenham chasing Glasner, the 50-year-old recently revealed he is set to pay a visit to his former side's hotel in London to wish them good luck against the North London outfit.

He said: “I will visit them the day before (the Tottenham game) in their hotel - not the players but of course many of the staff are still working there. I am pretty sure Frankfurt are having a fantastic season, they are positioned third in the and also in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. These games are so important for the club and fans - and I know there will be many at the Spurs stadium.

“I really know what a good team Tottenham is and I expect a very good quarter-final with two attacking teams. These are two teams with a lot of pace in their squads - I am looking forward to watching this game but I will watch it on TV.”
