Ange Postecoglou holding the Europa League trophy while beaming with smiles
Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have dismissed head coach Ange Postecoglou following unconvincing performances at the end of the 2024/2025 season.
The decision comes 17 days after he led the club to win the UEFA Europa League competition 1-0 over Manchester United at the San Mames Stadium, giving the club a major trophy after several years.
The triumph also qualified the team for the 2025/2026 Champions League, as they missed out in the previous seasons.
Despite these remarkable feats, the club hierarchy, led by Chairman Daniel Levy, was unimpressed with his overall performance in the entire season, hence the decision to relieve the manager of his coaching duties.
In a statement released to the public, the club appreciated the coach as the manager who won the Europa League trophy for them.
“We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy. Thank you, Ange,” a statement from Tottenham read, shared on X.
Postecoglou had a torrid Premier League season, presiding over the club’s worst-ever campaign, finishing 17th after suffering 22 defeats, resulting in their lowest-ever points tally of 38.
He played 101 games in total, won 47, drew 15, and lost 39.
The dismissal comes two years after his appointment, when he signed a four-year contract from Celtic on June 5, 2023.
Reports from England indicate that Brentford Manager, Thomas Frank, is in talks with Tottenham to take over as the next head coach of Spurs; however, an official announcement is yet to be made.
