Tottenham sack manager Postecoglou
LONDON, June 6 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Ange Postecoglou, the club said on Friday, despite the Australian guiding the club to their first major trophy in 17 years with victory in the Europa League final last month. Postecoglou will leave two years to the day after his appointment. Spurs beat Manchester United in Bilbao to win the Europa League and book their place in next season's Champions League, but a dismal domestic campaign ultimately cost Postecoglou his job. "The Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place," Spurs said in a statement. "Following a positive 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." Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League last season, fuelling pressure on the 59-year-old in his second year at the helm.

Portugal vs Spain predictions: Nations League final tips and odds
Our expert has three tips for Sunday's Nations League final between Portugal and Spain at the Munich Football Arena in Germany (kick-off, 8pm BST). We think Spain should have the edge over Portugal in an entertaining encounter. Portugal vs Spain tips Spain to win and over 2.5 goals @ 13/8 with Paddy Power Ruben Dias to commit 2+ fouls @ 7/4 with Paddy Power Bet builder – Nico Williams to score or assist, Spain to have 5+ shots on target and Nuno Mendes to commit 2+ fouls @ 3.97/1 with Paddy Power Odds courtesy of Paddy Power.

Spain to reign again in Munich Before taking their foot off the pedal in the second half, Spain were scintillating in their 5-4 win over France in Thursday's Nations League semi-final. There is such a great balance to their side with Pedri, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino making up a metronomic midfield, while Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams were devastating down the flanks. The win over Les Bleus made it 19 matches unbeaten for Spain since March 2023 and they should be too strong for Portugal, who were less convincing in their victory over Germany and have failed to win matches against Scotland, Croatia and Denmark since the start of October 2024. Punters should not read too much into how Spain allowed France back into the game, given Luis de la Fuente made sweeping substitutions and Spain to win and over 2.5 goals is a value pick at 13/8. Dias could be in for a tough night Spain's use of width and crosses means they get the ball into the box a lot and it could be a long night for Portugal centre back Ruben Dias, who is worth backing to commit 2+ fouls at 7/4. Dias has committed 15 fouls in this season's Nations League – more than any other Portugal player – and he is averaging 2.14 per game in the competition. Expect more magic from Williams Backing Nico Williams to score or assist is a good place to start a Nations League final bet builder. Williams scored and made a goal in the semi-final win over France, managing five shots in the game, and he has scored or had an assist six times in the competition this season. Possession is not as important for Spain under De la Fuente but they are likely to dominate this game in terms of chances and are worth adding to have 5+ shots on target, having averaged 7.1 efforts on target in the tournament. Complete the bet builder with Portugal left-back Nuno Mendes to commit 2+ fouls. He averaged 1.3 fouls per game for PSG in the Champions League this season but he could go above that figure given he is likely to be up against Yamal. He has recorded eight fouls in this competition. Portugal vs Spain odds All odds courtesy of Paddy Power. Correct at the time of publication and subject to change.
