A little more than two months after being sacked by Tottenham<\/a>, Ange Postecoglou<\/a> has been linked to two big jobs in Europe.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou, 60, was axed in June<\/a> and replaced by Thomas Frank at Spurs after the club finished 17th in the Premier League<\/a>, despite winning the Europa League trophy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the Australian might not be far away from a return according to football reporter Fabrizio Romano, who said Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen and Turkey’s Fenerbahce have mentioned Postecoglou as a potential replacement after they recently dumped their coaches.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou could receive offers from the two clubs before the end of the international break, according to reports.<\/p>\n

It’s understood the Aussie wants to return to the Premier League and there could be openings there as well, with West Ham boss Graham Potter under pressure.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou had previously been linked with Nottingham Forest after a rift between current manager Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo and billionaire Greek owner Evangelos Marinakis, and he was also linked with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A little more than two months after being sacked by Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou has been linked to two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-117163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
