Tottenham Part Ways With Head Coach Ange Postecoglou
Last Updated: Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years with the UEL title, only managed a 17th-place finish in the Premier League 2024/25 season. Premier League side Tottenham decided to part ways with head coach Ange Postecoglou as the London club gave the 59-year-old the sack on Friday. Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years with the UEL title, only managed a 17th-place finish in the Premier League 2024/25 season. 'Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties," the club said. '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," the London-based team expressed their gratitude to the man who ended their title drought. Postecoglou conveyed his thoughts to the fans in an emotional farewell letter that read, 'When I reflect on my time as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur my overriding emotion is one of pride." 'The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream," the 59-year-old wrote. 'There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 7 more years for their next success," he continued. 'I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them. I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters." 'I know there were some difficult times but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on," the Australian reflected. 'It's important to acknowledge the hard working people at Spurs who gave me encouragement on a daily basis." 'And finally, I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years. A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special," he added. 'We are forever connected. Audere est Facere," the letter concluded.

Next Tottenham Hotspur manager — Ranking the contenders for Spurs hot seat
Who will be the next Tottenham Hotspur manager following the firing of Ange Postecoglou in North London? One thing's for sure — the standards will be high and excuses not tolerated. MORE — USMNT's Cardoso reportedly nears Atleti move Postecoglou was canned by chairman Daniel Levy despite the club's Europa League triumph — their first trophy in 17 years — as an injury-ravaged season saw Tottenham Hotspur focus on the UEL at the expense of the Premier League. Their 17th-place finish was shocking even as Manchester United also plumbed their modern depths in domestic play. But that's in the past now. Who's next? Next Tottenham Hotspur manager — Ranking the contenders for Spurs hot seat No longer the England boss, could Southgate take a Premier League head job for the first time since leaving Middlesbrough in 2009? James Maddison and Dominic Solanke will be familiar with the ex-Three Lions coach. The one-time Spurs boss and current USMNT manager reportedly has a buyout clause that nears $20 million, and it would seem kinda ridiculous to rehire Pochettino, who famously didn't win silverware despite a colorful and positive time in North London, after firing the guy who ended their trophy drought. He just won a trophy, so he's got that going for him. And Glasner could have his head turned by the chance to scoot across town for a bigger budget and a place in the UEFA Champions League. He's well-regarded, and might just be able to bring over some familiar faces from Crystal Palace. More likely to leave his Premier League club than Glasner after the Cherries missed out on Europe, he's a system guy and the results of his time at Bournemouth promise that more resources could deliver even better results. We hate to say that a huge move from a club that hails your every move is an easy decision or a simple one — but there's a reason Frank is being eyeballed as a favorite here. Brentford play attractive football and punch above their weight. Frank would surely love the opportunity to throw haymakers from a favored position. Other names mentioned? Manuel Pellegrini (Real Betis), Xavi Hernandez (unattached), Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town), Simone Inzaghi (unattached), Eddie Howe (Newcastle United), Brendan Rodgers (Celtic)

Read more: Celtic player speaks out on future amid transfer interest Classy moment McCoist congratulates Ange Postecoglou after UEL triumph Key defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston, who missed games recently, are fit and available. 'Everyone else (apart from Reo Hatate) is fit,' the manager told Celtic TV. 'With not long to go now for preparation, hopefully it can stay that way. It has been a really, really good season for us in terms of the availability of players. 'The guys have done great in terms of the coaching team, in terms of the sessions. The players themselves have looked after themselves so well. 'Our medical and sports science team have prepped the players off the pitch really well. So, that has allowed us to not have so many muscular injuries. It's been purely based around some knocks and fractures and whatever else. 'But in the main, everyone is fit and strong and ready.'
