Spurs facing ‘dressing room revolt over Ange Postecoglou sacking
Whoever replaces Ange Postecoglou could walk into a dressing room revolt at Tottenham, according to reports. The Aussie was axed just over two weeks after lifting the Europa League to end the club's 17-year trophy drought. Brentford's Thomas Frank is the leading candidate to take over, with Fulham boss Marco Silva and Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola also tipped to be in the running. And the new man's first job could be to lift spirits in a devastated dressing room full of players that have spoken out in support of Postecoglou, The Sun reports. The Telegraph claims the sacking has angered many and some stars now want to leave this northern summer. A 'player revolt' is a worry for chief Daniel Levy as players are unhappy over the way 'Postecoglou's exit has been handled'. The Spurs squad penned touching goodbyes to their boss on social media, possibly hinting at their dismay over the decision. Captain Son Heung-Min called him a 'legend', who 'changed the trajectory of the club and believed in us'. 'You knew what we were capable of all along,' Son wrote on Instagram. 'You did it your way. And your way brought this club the best night it's had in decades. We will have those memories for life. 'You trusted me with the captaincy. One of the highest honours of my career. 'It's been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close. I am a better player and a better person because of you. 'Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate.' Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario wrote: 'You are not only a top manager, you are an incredible person to work for, a real leader, a mentor and someone I'll always look up to. 'What we achieved TOGETHER will stay in the history books.' Pedro Porro said: 'For mentoring me early on, helping me settle into the club, and trusting me out on the pitch. 'I'll always be grateful for the way you led us, defended us, and kept us going through all the highs and lows. 'Above everything, you gave us one of the greatest moments in the club's history and for that, you'll always be celebrated.' Striker Dominic Solanke added: 'Thank you for bringing me to this wonderful club, thank you for bringing us a wonderful trophy. 'Won't ever forget the convo we had before I signed and we achieved a dream! All the best in your next adventure.' An official Spurs statement said it was a unanimous choice to get rid of Postecoglou despite it being a 'tough' decision. They said: '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.' Yet it did little to calm raging fans, who said: 'What an absolute joke of a football club.' Another commented: 'This club is addicted to self-sabotage. Embarrassing. Thanks Ange, for reminding us what it's like to actually win something.' The last word can go to England legend Alan Shearer, who replied to Spurs' tweet confirming the sacking: 'What a stupid game football is!!!!'
