ANGE POSTECOGLOU dished out a death stare in another chilling exchange with a Tottenham fan.
The Aussie boss even walked BACK to the tunnel confrontation after Leicester inflicted Spurs’ sixth defeat in seven Premier League games.
Just last month Postecoglou was guided away from visiting fans following a heated clash of words after a 1-0 loss at Bournemouth.
And this time he faced a torrent of criticism from above the tunnel – amid boos for his team – after Leicester’s 2-1 win at the King Power Stadium.
One supporter bawled: “You’re taking us down. We’re going down with you.”
Postecoglou initially continued striding towards the changing rooms.
But astonishingly he backtracked and glared up at the fan.
However, a club official appeared to point him inside again.
And the 59-year-old then heeded that advice as he disappeared out of view.
The footage was Spurs fan and podcast host Chris Cowlin and shared on his YouTube channel.
Supporters who saw the drama labelled Postecoglou an “embarrassment” for seemingly considering an angry encounter with the fan.
One viewer posted: “Who does he think he is? We’re 15th in the league. Walk in those changing rooms before you get battered.”

And a third wrote: “The guy’s just lost his 13th league game of the season against a crap team at home and steps back as if he’s gonna do something…what an embarrassment!”
Postecoglou said of Sunday’s defeat: “It hurts a lot.

We are going to look at a lot of things, but in terms of effort I can’t ask anymore of this group, things just didn’t go our way today.”
And he insisted: “I know it will turn. We’ll get some players back, we were short again today but in the next couple of weeks there’s some really important players coming back that I know will help this group.”
