Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has broken his silence amid speculation he could replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
Postecoglou has been under pressure for the majority of this season, with Spurs seriously underperforming and sitting 14th in the Premier League table with 15 defeats in 29 games.
Fans have generally been split on his future but a new report has suggested his position could be considered in the summer with other targets already being sounded out.
Postecoglou earlier this year vowed to win a trophy in his second year in charge – this season – but has just one shot left at fulfilling that promise in a campaign to forget.
Spurs have endured a dismal Premier League season, while the north London club also suffered exits in both domestic cups, leaving the Europa League as their only trophy to play for.
Iraola has been tipped to become the north London club’s new manager should they fail their bid to end their long trophy drought this term.

Iraola says he’s ‘really happy’ in the South Coast and wants to take the club to the next level.
However, the Cherries boss says he’s ‘really happy’ in the South Coast and wants to take the club to the next level.
‘I want to do my job the best I can. I don’t know how far we can go, where we will finish,’ Iraola said ahead of Bournemouth’s FA Cup quarter-final clash with Manchester City.
‘If I don’t do the job very well, they (Bournemouth’s owners) will find someone else who does the job – it is like this in every job.
‘I am really happy here. We have a great opportunity for the first time in the (club’s) history to go to (the FA Cup) semi-finals. That would be amazing for me personally and for the club to achieve new heights.
‘But we know that we have to also be realistic, that there are better teams than us and we have to fight against teams that are very good, so we will try to give the best level we have.’
Iraola has overseen an impressive transformation at Bournemouth since he joined the club at the start of last season. After leading them to 12th in the table last term, they are currently in 10th, just four points off the Champions League spots.
He will be a man in demand in the near future, and his team are 10 points ahead of Spurs in the table while also having an FA Cup quarter-final to look forward to this weekend.
The Spaniard has one year left on his deal with the Cherries, meaning Spurs would have to pay his £10million release clause if they want to secure his services.
