Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher agree on Ange Postecoglou's fate after Europa League win

Ange Postecoglou's second season at Tottenham has seen a drop-off in form compared to his first, and there were suggestions he might leave at the end of the season regardless of the result in the final. It was a view shared by and , who were on punditry duty for the game against in Bilbao.

The final at San Mames saw two strugglers face off for a shot at qualification. Spurs sat 17th in the league before kick-off, with United just above them, and CBS Sports regular Carragher thought even a win wouldn't save Postecoglou in the long-term - and a win is what they got, with Brennan Johnson's scrappy goal at the end of the first half proving the decider.

"I'll be very surprised, no matter what the result is tonight... well, not surprised, I don't think he'll be manager [next season]," before kick-off. "Basically he'll have two games left as the Tottenham manager, tonight and at the weekend."

"I think so," Keane said when asked if he agreed with his fellow pundit. "The pressure he's been under - to lose 21 games, that's hard to take.

"But if he can win a trophy, you'd think this is probably in a strange way a good time to leave, but of course if he loses I think the pressure will just be mounting on him.

Spurs have one more league game to go, against on Sunday. If Carragher and Keane are proved right, that would be Postecoglou's final game in charge.

Carragher praised the Australian for his first season in charge in North London, but recognised the second has been tougher - both in terms of on-field results in the league and spikiness in press conferences. He wasn't prepared to accept the excuse of a lengthy injury list, either, arguing the manager's style of play was a factor in that too.

"I think he had a really good first season considering they lost arguably the greatest player in the history of the club in ," Carragher said. "This season there's no doubt they've had injuries, but the injuries come, I think, on the back of his style of play.

"It's very intense, very on the front foot; he doesn't change, and I think his press conferences are probably more entertaining than the team this season. Even yesterday, on the eve of a European final, he was still going at people and being on the front foot.

"I haven't been a manager, and I know sometimes I'd probably be like that with reporters, but it's every game. It's almost like a constant fight and a battle, and every press conference feels like an event."
