Ange Postecoglou reacts to Tottenham sacking: ‘We are forever connected'
Ange Postecoglou has said he and Tottenham fans will 'forever' be 'connected', after the club sacked him as coach on Friday. In May, Postecoglou guided Spurs to the Europa League trophy – their first silverware in 17 years – but also their worst-ever Premier League finish, as Tottenham ended up 17th. Advertisement The north London side lost 22 out of 38 league games amid that campaign, which also saw them exit the FA Cup to Aston Villa in January and suffer a thrashing by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-finals four days earlier. Postecoglou, who joined Tottenham from Celtic in 2023, vowed: 'I always win things in my second year.' And he did, but his stint at Tottenham has come to an end at the culmination of that second year, regardless. 'When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham, my overriding emotion is one of pride,' said the Australian, 59, in a statement via his agency CAA Base. '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. Advertisement '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 [to dare is to do].' Ange Postecoglou with the Europa League trophy at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (PA Wire) Tottenham's own statement read: 'Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties. Advertisement 'Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to Uefa Europa League glory in Bilbao last month – an achievement that will live with us all forever. '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 pos itive 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. Postecoglou with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy (PA Wire) '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. Advertisement 'We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future – he will always be welcome back at our home. 'News on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course.' The Independent understands that Brentford manager Thomas Frank is the frontrunner to take over from Postecoglou.

Texas A&M basketball re-offers 2027 5-star small forward With Texas A&M's basketball program under new management, head coach Bucky McMillan is off and running this offseason after adding 13 players to the 2025 roster, including highly coveted Spanish guard Rubén Domínguez, who announced his commitment on Friday afternoon. While the future is bright, the present is even brighter amid the talent McMillan will work with this fall. On the recruiting trail, McMillan has yet to land a 2026 prospect, but has made significant progress over the past month. In the 2027 cycle, Texas A&M has officially re-offered five-star small forward Ryan Hampton, whose previous praise of former head coach Buzz Williams' coaching staff was more based on all-time scoring guard Wade Taylor IV, while the Aggies offered his brother, former NBA guard RJ Hampton. "I've been around that program a lot since they recruited my brother. They have a player presently on their team, Wade Taylor, he is a great player. And he is the guy they need to go out and win them a game.' With the new and exciting Texas A&M staff led by McMillan, Hampton is back in the fold and will continue to consider the Aggies moving forward. With the talent the program has acquired this offseason, Hampton has a baseline to work off of regarding McMillan's ability to recruit. During his 2024-2025 season with Dynamic Prep, Hampton averaged 7.8 points per game and shot above 60% from the field. According to 247Sports Composite, Hampton is currently positioned as the 2nd-ranked prospect in the class, 2nd-ranked small forward, and the No. 1-ranked prospect in Texas.

Introducing England Women's Euro 2025 squad: Every player analysed
We knew who wasn't going before we knew who was. A trio of announcements from key pieces of England's last two tournaments brought an air of uncertainty to head coach Sarina Wiegman's 23-player selection for the 2025 European Championship in Switzerland this summer. First, goalkeeper Mary Earps announced that she was retiring from international football. Then England trounced Portugal 6-0 in the UEFA Nations League. Midfielder Fran Kirby was a second-half substitute in the match, but she didn't feature in the following 2-1 loss to Spain. Shortly after the final whistle, she too had announced her retirement from international football, saying to ESPN: 'I just didn't want to overstay my welcome.' Advertisement And then Wednesday morning, ahead of today's squad announcement, defender Millie Bright shared that she was withdrawing from selection, saying she was 'not able to give 100 per cent mentally or physically'. By themselves, each of these things would have come as a shock. Altogether, they've caused questions, if not alarm, ahead of the Lionesses' European Championship title defence. Still, the core Wiegman has been building on the field remains. In the years since Euro 2022 and the 2023 World Cup final, Wiegman, who prefers consistency in starting XIs above almost all else, has had to manage her way through a spate of injuries to her squad. Even still, players such as Lauren James, Alex Greenwood and Georgia Stanway are working their way back to full fitness. James' inclusion in the Euros squad, in particular, shows Wiegman is willing to take a risk to have one of her most game-changing players there for gameday selection. The shake-up among more established players has also made way for striker Michelle Agyemang, who burst onto the scene with a goal 41 seconds into her debut for the Lionesses earlier this year. She adds an element of mystery for England as Agyemang only has one cap to her name. Wiegman can change the roster in cases of injuries up until England's first game on July 5 against France. So there's still time for relatively untapped talents such as Laura Blindkilde Brown and Missy Bo Kearns, who also recently earned their first caps, to get a chance. Here are the 23 players Wiegman has selected to attempt back-to-back European trophies… Hampton will get plenty of scrutiny given Mary Earps' retirement, but Wiegman had previously indicated that she was ahead in the pecking order anyway. Hampton was a backup at Euro 2022 and the 2023 World Cup and has thrived since moving to Chelsea from Aston Villa two years ago. She didn't miss a minute of their 2024-25 Women's Super League (WSL) title-winning campaign. A reliable shot-stopper, Hampton is also very good in terms of distribution, crucial to Wiegman's coaching. She's perhaps not as vocal as Earps, but Hampton has the advantage of playing behind several England team-mates for her club. Now bumped up the pecking order, this is Keating's first major tournament. Wiegman recalled her to the squad in March after an eight-month absence during which she lacked game time while competing for the No 1 spot at Manchester City last season. Advertisement She was the youngest player to win the WSL's Golden Glove award for the 2023-24 season and is a solid shot-stopper. However, she was prone to errors playing out from the back last term. Moorhouse was the most likely goalkeeper not to have made the Euros squad had Earps not retired. The 30-year-old was a surprise inclusion when she was first called up last July and she has kept her place ever since. A former WSL player at Everton and Arsenal, she made the move to Orlando Pride in 2022. She made 96 saves in the 2024 NWSL season, conceding only 23 goals, and recorded 14 clean sheets. Her efforts helped the Pride to both a championship title and the NWSL Shield, awarded to the team that secured the most points in the regular season. She has never played for England but fits the bill as a Wiegman squad member. England's most experienced player just keeps running and remains a surefire starter. Bronze drives standards among the squad and is a vocal leader. Having returned to England from Barcelona in July 2024, the right-back had a very impressive maiden campaign at Chelsea, winning the domestic treble — although a Champions League title with a third team eluded her. She likes to get forward on the flank and poses an aerial threat, but she is susceptible to conceding possession, as demonstrated in the 2023 World Cup final. A no-nonsense, solid defender who is quick, Carter does the hard yards and is savvy in one-on-one situations. Having gone from Chelsea, where she played under Emma Hayes, to National Women's Soccer League side Gotham last year, Carter remains a versatile player Wiegman trusts to play anywhere across the back line. Advertisement She started five matches at the 2023 World Cup at centre-back but may be used at left-back this time around. Charles has always felt on the fringes of the side, having missed out on Euro 2022 and only then making two substitute appearances at the 2023 World Cup. She enjoyed an excellent 2023-24 campaign for Chelsea, driving forward from left-back to record the most goal-creating actions in the league. At that point, she seemed to establish herself in the England side, but a dislocated shoulder at the start of 2024-25 prompted a lengthy absence. She is naturally right-footed, but is comfortable enough on her left that it's not noticeably a problem when attacking. Greenwood is a player who, having not started a single game at Euro 2022, has become a vital cog in the England machine and, with Millie Bright absent, is set to start alongside Williamson at centre-back. Her left foot — she can play at centre-back or left-back — offers the back line much-needed balance. A capable reader of the game, her positioning is astute, interceptions are well-timed and passes break lines. The graphic below shows Greenwood's most common pass is across the back line to circulate possession, but her second most common pass is to her left full-back or winger, showing her willingness to look forward. The Manchester City captain is building back from a knee injury sustained in December and played her first 90 minutes against Spain on June 3. A standout player for Manchester United last season, Le Tissier is a robust centre-back who marshals her defence well. A wise head on young shoulders, the United captain was on the standby list for the 2023 World Cup but did not make the final tournament squad. She has never played consistently under Wiegman given the number of centre-backs ahead of her, but the England boss sees her instead as a Bronze understudy at right-back. Advertisement Morgan missed out on Euro 2022 because of a broken leg, but Wiegman has consistently called up the centre-back. Conscious of the Euros taking place, in 2024, Morgan sought a move away from Manchester City as she was not getting game time. She joined NWSL side Washington Spirit — a move Wiegman supported — and settled in well under the watchful eye of former Barcelona manager Jonatan Giraldez. She has always been a backup, but started in England's 6-0 win against Portugal alongside Williamson, a relatively green centre-back partnership. Williamson was installed as England's captain ahead of Euro 2022 before she had really become an automatic starter, and played in midfield when Wiegman first joined. She missed the World Cup two years ago with an ACL injury and her England performances since then have been shaky, notably in a 4-3 home defeat to Germany in October. But she was magnificent in Arsenal's 1-0 Champions League final win over Barcelona last month. At her best, she is positionally excellent and comfortable bringing the ball forward. An eloquent, outspoken player, Wubben-Moy was the driving force behind the Lionesses' successful campaign for girls to have equal access to football in schools. A sturdy defender who is also comfortable on the ball, she seemed to have established herself as an Arsenal regular in the couple of seasons after Euro 2022, but has been relegated to a backup this season and has been in and out of Wiegman's squads. A hybrid player between a No 8 and a No 10, Clinton is tidy on the ball, can link play well and turn out of tight spaces. Wiegman has, however, previously said she needs to be more disciplined defensively. The United midfielder scored on her senior debut in February 2024 and finished the year with three goals in five appearances. This is her major tournament debut, and despite her inexperience, England may need to call upon her, especially given the lack of depth in the No 8 position. Park is a potentially world-class player who feels somewhat unusual. She initially received starting opportunities in the WSL as a winger, but Park is actually a battling, skilful midfielder who thrives in fast-paced midfield zones where she can jink away from challenges and dribble into attack. Wiegman has sometimes used her in the No 10 role, including when she scored the winner in a 1-0 Nations League win over Spain in February. She is not a guaranteed starter, but could explode into a superstar. A battler who grafts in midfield, runs box to box and connects play, Stanway will make her presence felt with meaty challenges. Wiegman's midfield has not looked as solid without her since she suffered her first major career injury in January, ruling her out of Bayern Munich's second half of the season. However, she is gradually finding her competitive rhythm. Advertisement She is also England's dedicated penalty-taker. Toone is one of those attacking midfielders whose contribution is primarily scoring goals. Sometimes, Toone isn't overwhelmingly involved in play, but then she pops up with a big goal: the equaliser against Spain and the opener against Germany in the quarter-final and final of Euro 2022, then the opener in the Finallisma against Brazil, then the opener against Australia in Sydney in the 2023 World Cup semi-final. At times, it seems like managers want more from her, and despite being Manchester United's vice-captain, she was omitted from the FA Cup final starting XI. An outstanding player in the Euro 2022 final victory over Germany, Walsh is a calm, intelligent deep midfielder who dictates England's play. In the wake of that tournament, opponents concentrated on marking her out of the game. An injury midway through the World Cup the following year forced Wiegman to completely change her system and she remains England's most irreplaceable outfielder in a position with few obvious replacement options. After a two-and-a-half-year spell with Barcelona, she moved to Chelsea in January. An elite goal within 42 seconds of her debut is how Agyemang announced herself on the international stage. A regular member of the England Under-19s, the Arsenal academy graduate was only called up in April because Russo withdrew with a knee injury. Wiegman has taken a gamble given her vast inexperience — just three and a half years ago she was a ballgirl for England's 4-0 victory over Northern Ireland at Wembley — but the centre-forward is technically sharp, physically dominant and can rattle opponents' back lines. Beever-Jones transformed from a promising talent to a seriously good player over the last season. She played in a variety of roles when emerging at Chelsea, but now seems an obvious centre-forward, offering good link play, clever runs and calm finishing. Advertisement She was the top goalscorer for WSL winners Chelsea last season and smashed in a superb hat-trick in the 6-0 win over Portugal when Russo was unavailable. She will probably be a substitute this summer, but she could have a major impact. Hemp has looked sharp on her return from her knee injury and comes into the Euros with competitive league minutes under her belt. England's brightest spark at the World Cup, the deadly Manchester City winger runs directly at the opposition and also puts in a shift defensively. Wiegman likes her versatility as she can also be used as a backup striker or partner to Alessia Russo up top. James' unpredictability raises England to new levels. The fact Wiegman has taken a chance on her despite doubts regarding her fitness — she has not played since sustaining a hamstring injury in April — shows how influential she can be for this England team. A fluid player who likes to find pockets of space between the midfield and attacking lines, James can unlock opposition blocks with her creativity and guile. Wiegman has also praised her for her increased defensive awareness. Whether she can get up to speed in time and perform consistently is the key question. The winning goalscorer from the Euro 2022 final endured a difficult first half of the season due to a breakdown in her relationship with Manchester City manager Gareth Taylor, only starting one game before Christmas. But a surprise January move to Arsenal completely rejuvenated her season, and she ended the campaign starting in a Champions League final victory. Wiegman dropped her from the England squad in February over concerns about her lack of playing time, but then she was immediately recalled due to an injury to Mead, and ended up coming on as a substitute in the 1-0 win over Spain. Hard-working, a good crosser and a regular goalscorer, she's the complete wide player. Advertisement The star of Euro 2022, Mead was a notable absentee at the 2023 World Cup because of an ACL injury. Everything she touched three years ago seemed to turn to gold. It is hard to replicate that same form, but with her quick feet, intelligent movement and pressing intensity, she is still one of England's greatest attacking threats on the right wing. Russo was England's regular substitute striker at Euro 2022, scoring four goals despite not starting a game — including a brilliant turn-and-finish goal against Northern Ireland and a memorable backheel against Sweden. Wiegman has always appreciated Russo for her all-around qualities: she uses her body well to shield the ball, links plays and encourages others forward into attack. She was crowned FWA Player of the Year after an excellent season for Arsenal, where she exploded into life after the appointment of head coach Renee Slegers, and finished as the WSL's joint-top goalscorer alongside Bunny Shaw.
