Postecoglou was brutally SACKED by Daniel Levy a little over two weeks after ending the club's 17-year wait for silverware by winning the Europa League.
Several Spurs players were reportedly disappointed by the club's decision to axe the Aussie, whom Romero paid a heartfelt tribute to less than an hour after Spurs confirmed Frank as their new manager.
Along with a picture of himself and his former manager, the Argentina international wrote on Instagram: " Ange, thank you for these two incredible seasons.
"You're a fantastic coach, but above all, a great person who deserves the best.
