Gary Neville believes Daniel Levy will sack Ange Postecoglou if Tottenham Hotspur are knocked out of each of the domestic cup competitions. The 59-year-old faces an uncertain future in North London after some disappointing results, yet the Lilywhites still have a shot at winning some silverware.

Next week, Tottenham will lock horns with Liverpool at Anfield in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. Spurs clambered past the Premier League leaders in the first leg earlier this month, with Lucas Bergvall netting a late winner to give his side a one-goal lead on aggregate.

Then, a few days later, the Lilywhites will face Aston Villa at Villa Park in the FA Cup fourth round. While Tottenham have dropped to 15th in the Premier League, with only nine points stopping them from falling into the relegation zone, Postecoglou looks well positioned to win the club its first trophy since 2008.

A piece of silverware – or at the very least, a cup run – could very well save his job. But, if Spurs were to be knocked out of either of the domestic cup competitions, then Neville believes it could cost Postecoglou his position.

Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast by Sky Sports, the former Manchester United defender said: "If he loses the second leg of the Carabao Cup to Liverpool and he goes out of the FA Cup, I think that it will become so toxic that Daniel Ley will act. If they’re out of the cup competitions, I think he will act."

Wayne Rooney added: "I think Daniel Levy’s in a tough place in terms of, if he does it now, the fans will absolutely kill him. Even if he wants to, I don’t think he can."

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Postecoglou was asked about his future at Tottenham. He said: "My message would be to all Spurs fans because I represent them all not just the angry ones that you are referring to or maybe talking to. All Spurs fans.

"We are working hard to turn this around. Obviously we know the situation, notwithstanding the fact the possibilities and opportunities in the second half of this season are still very much in our hands to capitalise on and still make it a successful season."

Meanwhile, Dejan Kulusevski backed Postecoglou to transform Tottenham's fortunes, branding him the 'right man' for the job. The Spurs midfielder said: "Three cups, we’re doing really well in the cups so it’s easy to focus on league but we’re doing really well in the cups.

"This is an important game and if we win we go to the next round so I think we can do good things in these last four months," added Kulusevski. "We had games when we showed perfect football. Football that not many teams can play in the world.

"We played beautiful games against United, against City 4-0 so I think he is the right man. We play for him. We want to win for him and to be honest we have similar ideas.

"I am very positive as a guy and I always want to play that football he wants. I have to fight for him because I believe in that football too. Yes, I think he’s the right man."
