Tottenham Hotspur sack Ange Postecoglou on his two year anniversary
Tottenham Hotspur have parted company with Ange Postecoglou, with Daniel Levy giving the Europa League winner the sack after two years despite ending a 17-year trophy drought.
The Australian manager did enjoy a successful few weeks at the helm of Spurs in his first ten games during the 2023/24 season, where he had Tottenham topping the Premier League table.
However, injuries have since hit his squad, and it has only derailed the club’s league trajectory ever since, with Postecoglou suffering more league defeats than wins in his 76 games in charge during his time at Hotspur Way, losing 34 Premier League matches, while winning 31.
The 59-year-old’s second season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has only raised more concerns about the form of the Lilywhites, as the north London club ended their 2024/25 campaign in 17th place, after losing 22 games.
Tottenham sack Ange Postecoglou after two turbulent seasons
Ange Postecoglou did manage to bring about success on the continental stage, winning Tottenham their first ever European trophy after 41 years, while also ending their 17-year wait for a piece of major honour.
However, that has proven to be no saving grace for the Australian, as Spurs have now confirmed his sacking after two full seasons as head coach of the Lilywhites.
It has been reported that Tottenham would have to pay Postecoglou a six-figure sum of £7 million should they pull the trigger, with Spurs having to pay Postecoglou a full year’s salary of £5 million, including a £2 million bonus for winning the Europa League.
Postecoglou joins long list of managers sacked by Spurs
Ange Postecoglou now joins the long list of 15 managers that have been sacked by Daniel Levy in his 24 years in charge of Spurs.
A list that includes the likes of Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pochettino, Nuno Espirito Santo, Andre Villas-Boas and the likes, some of whom have gone on to have successful managerial careers after.
Tottenham’s focus would now turn to identifying the man to lead the club forward as they look to plan for the 2025/26 season, with transfers and pre-season now in the mix.
The likes of Thomas Frank, Andoni Iraola, Simone Inzaghi and Marco Silva have all been linked with a move to Tottenham. A decision would be expected soon, with sporting director Fabio Paratici set to play a role in deciding the man to lead Spurs next season.
