Ange Postecoglou sacked despite guiding Spurs to first trophy in 17 years
- Tottenham Hotspur has sacked Ange Postecoglou despite him leading the club to their first trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League.
- Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League with 22 losses in 38 games, but their Europa League campaign culminated in a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Bilbao on May 21.
- Daniel Levy decided to dismiss Postecoglou ahead of a summer of significant changes across key departments, despite Postecoglou fulfilling his vow to "always win things in my second year."
- Postecoglou's frustration grew during the Premier League season due to fitness issues and poor results, despite an unbeaten start in his first 10 games and leading the league in November 2023.
- Thomas Frank, Oliver Glasner, and Xavi are among the potential candidates to replace Postecoglou, as the club aims to build on Champions League qualification and improve their Premier League position.
