And the Portuguese gaffer has sensationally claimed he'll LEAVE THE CLUB FOR FREE if the Red Devils brass don't believe he's the right man for the job.
The 40-year-old said: 'In this moment, I am not going to be here defending myself.
"It's not my style, I cannot do it. It is really hard for me.
'So I have nothing to show to the fans and say, 'I'm going to improve because of this, I have these problems…' I will not do nothing.

'In this moment, it is a little bit of faith. Let's see.
'I'm always open, if the board and the fans feel that I am not the right guy, I will go the next day without any conversation about compensation.
'But I will not quit. I am really confident in my job.
"As you can see, I will not change nothing in how I do things.'

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. '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.'

Big price Tottenham have paid to sack Ange Postecoglou as decision finally made
Tottenham Hotspur and Ange Postecoglou have finally parted ways, despite the club's Europa League success, as the club's dire Premier League performance ultimately proves costly In the end, Tottenham Hotspur emperor Daniel Levy and the Spurs hierarchy decided it wasn't enough. Ange Postecoglou, despite winning the Europa League and earning Champions League football, had to go. Confirmation came on Friday afternoon, after months of speculation, that the ex-Celtic manager had been sacked. Ironically, the man who broke the club's 17-year wait for a trophy was binned on the two-year anniversary of his appointment. A club statement declared: "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, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw. "However, 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." In a week where both coach Ryan Mason and executive director Donna-Maria Cullen left the club and Levy was quoted when both exits were announced, it was startling that there were no words from the chairman. The decision to part ways with Postecoglou will cost the club £4million in compensation. That is on top of the £2m bonus he has earned for winning the Europa League. A replacement may also be expensive, particularly if they pursue Brentford chief Thomas Frank, who is high in their thinking. All in, it was a decision Spurs decided they had to make. It is also a costly one. Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
