Tottenham sack Ange Postecoglou as head coach despite Europa League glory
Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Tottenham despite winning the Europa League. That European trophy, a first for 41 years, could not prevent him from being removed after a Premier League campaign in which Spurs lost 22 of their 38 games and finished 17th. Postecoglou departs after exactly two seasons in charge, leaving his successor with the benefit of Champions League football next season. Daniel Levy, the club chairman and a minority owner, will now seek to appoint a 14th permanent manager in 24 years at the boardroom helm. The club have met with intermediaries to discuss a potential move for Brentford's Thomas Frank. Advertisement Spurs's domestic season was woeful. A 4-0 victory at Manchester City in late November was followed by a dire campaign where they sank to 17th in the league, departed the FA Cup at Aston Villa and were comprehensively beaten by Liverpool in their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. In mitigation, Postecoglou was hampered by injuries for much of the season, including to the centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero and the goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. At times, his list of absentees at points ran to double figures, though critics suggested the Australian's tactics were not easy on his players' physical state. Through the second half of the season, Spurs shifted their focus to the Europa League and prevailed in Bilbao's final over Manchester United, Brennan Johnson's scruffy, deflected winning goal deciding a yet scruffier match.

After a 4-1 home defeat by Brighton on the Premier League season's final day, on the eve of a celebratory parade through the streets of Tottenham, Postecoglou was defiant and defensive. 'My gut feeling is I feel right now that I've done something that no one believed I could do,' he said. 'And I shouldn't be sitting here talking about it [his future]. You're right to ask the question but you're asking the person who can't give you that answer. I am so confident about what we can build at this football club and I want to push on and take it to the next level. We'll see whether that happens.' Advertisement Instead, Levy and his coterie of executives have decided to part company with Postecoglou, the first Australian to manage in the Premier League and also the first from that country to lead a club to a European trophy. Spurs are giving serious thought to Frank, having been impressed with his work at Brentford. The Dane joined them in October 2018 when they were in the Championship and got them promoted via the playoffs in 2020-21. He has established them in the top-flight; they finished this past season 10th with 56 points.

Gasperini takes over from Ranieri at Roma after successful run at Atalanta
Associated Press ROME (AP) — Gian Piero Gasperini was named Roma's new coach on Friday, taking over for the retiring Claudio Ranieri following his own successful run at Atalanta. 'I need a significant challenge,' Gasperini said in an interview released by Roma. He signed a three-year deal for the club owned by Texas-based businessman Dan Friedkin. In nine seasons at Atalanta, Gasperini guided the Bergamo club to a Europa League triumph in 2024, six top-four finishes in Serie A, and a Champions League quarterfinal. The 73-year-old Ranieri was hired in November when Roma was struggling in 12th place, and his contract specified he would take on an advisor role after the season. Rainieri guided Roma to a fifth-place finish as the Giallorossi lost just once during the second half of the season, and was involved in selecting the 67-year-old Gasperini, who is known for his free-flowing attacking tactics. Gasperini becomes Roma's fourth coach in the 1 ½ years since Jose Mourinho was fired, following Daniele De Rossi, Ivan Juric and Ranieri. ___ AP soccer: in this topic
