The Irish Suna day ago

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has already had interest from other clubs since his ruthless Spurs axing - but may take some time out before getting back into management.
The Aussie, 59, was brutally shown the door by Daniel Levy earlier this month, just 16 days since ending Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought with their Europa League triumph.

But the former Celtic treble-winner, who is enjoying some time with his family, is happy not to rush any decision over his future.
That does not rule out a quick return to management, however, should the right opportunity present itself.
Postecoglou, who has won trophies in the second season of every post he has had where he has lasted that long in the role, is believed to fancy another crack at the Premier League.

The Aussie was given the boot on June 6, which was exactly two years to the day since Tottenham announced his appointment in 2023.
Some had suggested that date might be related to some sort of clause in the deal.
Ange Postecoglou's BEST Press Conference Moments
Ange Breaks Silence On Tottenham Sacking
ANGE Postecoglou issued a statement just moments after being axed.
It read: "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 the foundations that means 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.'
But SunSport understands that was not the case at all and the fact the axe was swung on that date was a complete coincidence.

Spurs close to deal for Thomas Frank with Brentford

Tottenham are moving closer to reaching an agreement with Brentford over compensation to make Thomas Frank their new head coach, with talks now having entered a third day, it is understood. Spurs sacked Ange Postecoglou on Friday – 16 days after he led them to Europa League success – and quickly set their sights on Frank. After positive initial talks over the weekend, confidence started to grow on Monday that Frank would be the man to replace Postecoglou, and Tottenham made an official approach to their Premier League rivals later in the day. Discussions continued into Tuesday and centred on Frank's contract at Brentford, which runs until the summer of 2027 and contains a release clause reported to be in the region of £10million (€11.8m). Talks have continued into Wednesday, but an agreement between Spurs and Brentford over a compensation package to appoint Frank is close, RTÉ Sport understands. Further progress is required over Frank's backroom staff and how many will follow the Dane to Tottenham. The 51-year-old would take over a Spurs side which won the Europa League last month but finished 17th in the Premier League. One of the first issues he would be faced with, if appointed, concerns the future of captain Son Heung-min, who had a 12-month option in his contract triggered in January. "I still have one more year left on the contract," Son (pictured lifting the Europa League trophy) said on Tuesday, as reported by Korean agency Yonhap. "Rather than saying anything at this moment, I think we should all wait and see what happens." Meanwhile, Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven has acknowledged it was a "strange" decision to dismiss Postecoglou after the Australian ended the club's 17-year trophy drought. Van de Ven told Voetbalzone: "That was ultimately a choice from the club. "We will see what happens now. Of course, we see some rumours about the Brentford head coach, who it will probably be." On Postecoglou, Van de Ven added: "I think many of the players got along with him well. And of course he is the first coach who has brought success to Spurs in a long time. "That also shows that he has a certain quality. That also means that he has a winning mentality, 100 per cent. From that, you would of course say that it is strange that he was fired." As talks over Frank's move continue, Brentford centre-back Nathan Collins has backed the club to cope with his departure. told RTÉ Sport.
