Tottenham have announced the sacking of Ange Postecoglou. The Premier League side released a statement on Friday afternoon, confirming that the Australian was relieved of his duties.
In the statement on their official website, Spurs stated that the decision was taken after ‘a review of performances and after significant reflection’ on the manager’s 2 seasons at the club.
Spurs board believes that winning the Europa League was not enough to cover the club’s worst-ever finish in the Premier League. The win over Manchester United in the final saw them end their 17-year wait for a trophy, but the cup run could not save the Australian’s job.
Tottenham went on to state that the board believed that it was crucial that they had a new manager in place from the start of next season if they were to compete on multiple fronts.
David Ornstein of The Athletic have reported that Brentford manager Thomas Frank is the front runner for the job. However, no contact has taken place between the two London clubs.
Ange Postecoglou was quick to post a message for the Tottenham fans after the club announced his sacking. He believes that his team have laid the foundation for the club to keep winning trophies and not have to wait another 17 years for silverware.
He said:
Ange Postecoglou joined in the summer of 2023 after a successful stint at Celtic in the Scottish Premier League. He managed 101 matches for Spurs and finished with 47 wins and 40 losses.
