LONDON - Ange Postecoglou admitted he does not know if he will avoid the sack after Tottenham Hotspur hit a new "low" with a dismal 2-1 home defeat by struggling Leicester City on Jan 26.
Postecoglou's side crashed to a sixth defeat from their last seven English Premier League matches to increase the pressure on the under-fire Australian.
Richarlison's 33rd-minute header gave Tottenham hope of a first top-flight win since Dec 15.
But Jamie Vardy levelled for Leicester less than 60 seconds after half-time, before Bilal El Khannouss fired the winner four minutes later.
Throughout the match, furious Tottenham fans called for chairman Daniel Levy to quit, while boos greeted the full-time whistle after Postecoglou was jeered for substituting Richarlison.
Tottenham are languishing in 15th place, just eight points above the relegation zone.
