Tottenham Part Ways With Head Coach Ange Postecoglou
Last Updated: Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years with the UEL title, only managed a 17th-place finish in the Premier League 2024/25 season. Premier League side Tottenham decided to part ways with head coach Ange Postecoglou as the London club gave the 59-year-old the sack on Friday. Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years with the UEL title, only managed a 17th-place finish in the Premier League 2024/25 season. 'Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties," the club said. '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," the London-based team expressed their gratitude to the man who ended their title drought. Postecoglou conveyed his thoughts to the fans in an emotional farewell letter that 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," the 59-year-old wrote. '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 7 more years for their next success," he continued. '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," the Australian reflected. '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," he added. 'We are forever connected. Audere est Facere," the letter concluded.

Flood situation improves in northeast; three die in Manipur
GUWAHATI: The flood situation in the northeastern region improved in the last 24 hours but the toll continues. According to Manipur's Directorate of Relief and Disaster Management, the State was dry on Friday, barring two areas, which experienced light rainfall. The rivers in receding mode, however, proved fatal for three persons, taking the death toll in rain-induced disasters across the region to 55. Assam recorded the most fatalities with 21 victims of floods and landslides, followed by 12 in Arunachal Pradesh, six in Meghalaya and Mizoram, four in Manipur, three in Sikkim, two in Tripura, and one in Nagaland. Nine persons, including a BJP Mahila Morcha leader from Odisha, are feared dead in Sikkim after the vehicle they were travelling in fell about 1,000 feet into the Teesta River on May 29. A Guwahati-based doctor, believed to have been caught in a landslide, has been missing in Arunachal Pradesh since May 31. While 1.66 lakh people continue to be affected by floods in Manipur, mostly in the Imphal Valley, the number of flood-hit people in Assam reduced by about 1.2 lakh to 4.44 lakh across 18 districts. A flood bulletin provided by the Assam State Disaster Management Authority said the Brahmaputra and four other rivers have been at certain stretches. 'We are currently operating 328 relief camps and relief distribution centres for 1.59 lakh people, who are yet to return home,' a spokesperson of the authority said.

Managing Bumrah: The key to India's chances in England
Mumbai: Some one-on-one battles have the power to shape the course of a team contest. Especially when bowlers begin to play with a key batter's psyche — whether it was Shane Warne leaving Daryll Cullinan in a tailspin, Glenn McGrath rolling over Micheal Atherton, Zaheer Khan making short work of Graeme Smith... the list is a long one. But few did it like Jasprit Bumrah versus Usman Khwaja during the last Australian summer. 'I was just getting Bumrah'ed,' Khwaja would say after six dismissals across eight innings. English wicket-keeper batter Jamie Smith is already in awe of Bumrah. 'Hopefully, (bat) down at No. 7, I can watch other lads go and face him first,' he said. That's the effect Bumrah can have on his opponents. India's No1 pacer can well find a new bunny on the England tour but that is only if his body supports him. To his credit, on returning to T20 action in the IPL after back troubles in the Sydney Test match in January, the speedster has looked fit but the five-Test series in England will be his real challenge. 'Any adaptation to new weather conditions takes about 10 days to two weeks when you are switching formats,' said Ramji Srinivasan, former strength and conditioning coach of the Indian team. 'Moving from T20 to Test cricket is tricky because your workload can go up four to five times from 4-overs-a-day, spells are longer. Your acute workload has to be built gradually, until you reach a stage when you are bowling in the nets with near-match intensity and volume as you do in a match.' Having recovered from a stress reaction in his lower back - a precursor to a stress fracture, it's clear Bumrah will not play all five Tests. Australia will probably be the last and only time in his 45-Test career that Bumrah attempted to play five Tests in a series. His impact was freakish -- 32 wickets at an average of 13.06 and a strike rate of 28.3; the best for any Indian bowler in an away series. But by taking almost 25% of bowling load among 9 Indian bowlers used during the series, his workload management was botched up and he failed to complete the final Test. 'A lot of injuries happen because of overloading,' said Srinivasan. 'In the lead up to the England series, the balls he will bowl, at what speed, how many days in a week, distance he will cover, his throws in fielding, everything must be considered. Only the physios and trainer cannot decide. The head coach, fielding coach, the bowling coach, physio, S&C, all have to be involved in designing a program. For someone like Bumrah, you need the right customised concoction.' Alternate Tests? Bumrah has been consulting with New Zealand-based orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Rowan Schouten who operated on his back in 2023. Among alternatives suggested to manage his workload, there is one that will only see Bumrah to play alternate Test matches, HT learned. This may change based on how Bumrah's body holds up. The team management would also factor in the week-long break before the second and fourth Test of the series. 'We haven't taken that call, which three games is he going to play,' Gambhir said during India's pre-departure press conference on Thursday. 'We are going to have a discussion with him. A lot will depend on the results of the series, where the series is heading.' Without a sports science head — BCCI is yet to fill a vacancy — Bumrah's understanding of his own body's coping mechanism in consultation with on-tour physios will guide the team management on utilising their pace ace. Although the selectors have packed the squad with six more pace bowling options, India with and without Bumrah is like chalk and cheese. In Tests that he has played since making his debut, Bumrah has picked up nearly double the wickets (205 at Avg of 19.4) to second-placed R Ashwin. In SENA countries, his wickets, average and strike rate are well above other Indian pacers across generations Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Zaheer Khan and Kapil Dev. Where Bumrah falls short is continuity. The fast bowler has missed nearly 35% of the Tests India has played since debut. Given his importance to India's fortunes across formats, he will continue to pick and choose. It will also be interesting to see how young captain Shubman Gill utilises his leading fast bowler in the long series given that even the number of short bursts will need to be controlled. With the series on the line, Rohit Sharma used Bumrah in nine short bursts on Day four of the Melbourne Test. Overworked and spent, Bumrah told his captain, 'Bas, ab aur nahi lag raha zor (Enough, I can't push it anymore).' As Shane Watson, former Australian bowling all-rounder, recently told HT, 'India can't push the breaking point with Bumrah again.'
