7th Jun. Tottenham Dismisses Postecoglou Weeks After Historic Europa League Triumph
Tottenham Hotspur made a surprising managerial decision by parting ways with Ange Postecoglou, just over two weeks after he led the club to its first trophy in 17 years—a Europa League victory over Manchester United. The win not only ended a long silverware drought but also secured a Champions League spot for the upcoming season. Despite this achievement, club leadership concluded that a managerial change was necessary to better position the team for long-term success across various competitions.
Postecoglou’s tenure, while marked by European success, was overshadowed by a disastrous domestic campaign. Tottenham recorded 22 defeats in the Premier League, finishing a disappointing 17th—barely above the relegation zone. This poor league form prompted internal reviews, and the club ultimately determined that continuing with the current leadership would not be in its best interest. The board emphasized the need for a more consistent approach capable of handling both domestic and international demands.
The search for a successor is already underway, with several names being considered including Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Fulham’s Marco Silva, and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola. Postecoglou exits after two seasons, receiving a reported severance package of up to £4 million, along with a £2 million bonus for the Europa League win. Though his time at the club was brief, he becomes only the third manager in Tottenham's history to secure a European title, placing him among iconic figures in the club’s legacy.
In his farewell remarks, Postecoglou expressed pride in leading Tottenham and gratitude toward the fans, players, and staff who supported him. He acknowledged the highs and lows of his spell in charge but emphasized the lasting impact of their collective efforts. The Australian coach highlighted the foundation laid for future success and maintained belief in the potential of the young squad he helped shape. Despite his departure, he leaves the club with a renewed sense of ambition and a restored connection with its supporters.
