A tough decision is facing Daniel Levy as he decides whether to sack Ange Postecoglou as manager of Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite helping Spurs end their 17-year wait for a trophy, Levy could sack Postecoglou following what was a shocking Premier League campaign.

The verdict on Postecoglou’s future is expected to arrive this week, and the North London club’s supporters will be eager for clarity over their plans for next season.

There are several Tottenham players still backing Postecoglou, and one of those players is Lucas Bergvall, who is a huge supporter of the Australian.

Lucas Bergvall has big admiration for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham

Bergvall has ‘a lot of admiration’ for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham and the midfielder would be upset if he were to be sacked, according to James Olley.

Postecoglou has done a lot for the young Swede this season, who has established himself as one of Spurs’ best players.

Olley told ESPN FC: “There will be a lot of players who have done well, Lucas Bergvall is one, I know that he particularly has a lot of admiration for Postecoglou.

“He’s done a lot for him this year, broken into the team this season and signed a new contract. My understanding is that it came about because he was rewarded for the way he’s played and Postecoglou by all accounts the driving force behind that.”

The 19-year-old played a big role in Tottenham’s Europa League triumph, and his form across the season earned him a new contract.

After signing his new contract, Bergvall’s value has increased to £50m and even at that price, the Lilywhites are unlikely to part ways with him.

Ledley King’s been very impressed with Bergvall, with the former Tottenham captain singing his praises earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Postecoglou also hailed Bergvall, admitting that he wouldn’t be happy if he wasn’t still coaching him in two or three years.

Other Tottenham players still backing Ange Postecoglou

Pedro Porro doesn’t want Tottenham to sack Postecoglou and has spoken out this week about why the Lilywhites should continue with the Australian in charge.

The Spaniard revealed that keeping the 59-year-old would be great for the dressing room after he helped the club to win a trophy.

Elsewhere, Cristian Romero will push to leave Tottenham should they opt to sack Postecoglou, with the Argentine becoming very close with the manager.
