Ange Postecoglou proud of bringing ‘glory' back to Tottenham
Postecoglou masterminded the club's first trophy in 17 years when he guided Spurs to Europa League glory with a 1-0 win over Manchester United on May 21. The long-awaited silverware came amid heightened speculation over his future, following a 17th-placed Premier League finish which represents Tottenham's worst top-flight position since they were relegated in 1977. 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 🤍 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) June 6, 2025 The outpouring of affection that followed from fans flipped the narrative around Postecoglou's future, with the Australian serenaded on multiple occasions at a subsequent trophy parade in front of an estimated 220,000 supporters. Further chants in support of Postecoglou came in a final-day 4-1 loss to Brighton before several Spurs players backed him to stay, but Daniel Levy has dismissed the head coach who earned him much-craved silverware. Postecoglou, via a statement from his agency CAA Base, said: '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. There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. A post shared by CAA Base (@caabase) 'We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. 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. '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. 'We are forever connected. Audere est Facere. Ange.'

Piers Morgan reacts to Ange Postecoglou's 'inevitable' Spurs sacking
Spurs confirmed the bombshell decision to sack Ange Postecoglou on Friday with infamous Arsenal fan Piers Morgan having reacted to the announcement with a short message on social media Piers Morgan has joked that Ange Postecoglou 's sacking was 'inevitable' once he won the Europa League. The Australian was brutally dismissed by Spurs on Friday just over two weeks after ending the North London side's trophy drought. Postecoglou's side narrowly beat Premier League rivals Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao - securing them their first trophy in 17 years. Despite that, chairman Daniel Levy has opted for a change due to their rotten Premier League form. Arsenal fan Morgan has reacted, jokingly suggesting that the success Postecoglou brought to the club has led to his departure. Writing on Twitter, he said: 'Inevitable… can't have a Spurs manager who actually wins European trophies.' Despite that claim, Spurs have explained exactly why they decided to show Postecoglou the door - their disappointing Premier League campaign being a major factor. A statement on Friday read: 'The Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. 'Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. 'At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph. 'It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision.' Tottenham are now on the hunt for Postecoglou's eventual replacement, with Thomas Frank having been earmarked as one of the favourites for the job. But a deal for the Brentford tactician looks tricky. He has a £10m release clause written into his deal with the Bees and it remains to be seen whether Spurs would be willing to activate that having already paid out £5m in a severance package to end Postecoglou's time at the helm.
