Tottenham 'axe three of Ange Postecoglou's backroom staff' as they step up search for his successor
Three members of Ange Postecoglou 's backroom staff are set to follow him out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer. Spurs confirmed on Friday afternoon that Postecoglou would not be returning for a third season, with the 59-year-old sacked just 16 days after overseeing a famous victory against Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final. That win ended Tottenham's 17-year wait for a major trophy and secured a place in the next edition of the Champions League. But it was not enough to save Postecoglou, who also oversaw a 17th place finish in the Premier League — the club's lowest ever. Postecoglou's departure was communicated by the club via a 368-word statement. That statement did not mention whether or not any other staff members were also leaving. But according to The Telegraph, Spurs chiefs have decided to axe Postecoglou's assistant coaches Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo. Meanwhile, Ryan Mason — who also worked as an assistant coach under Postecoglou — left Spurs earlier in the week to take the vacant manager's job at West Bromwich Albion. Senior coach Matt Wells and goalkeeping coach Rob Burch are said to have remained with Spurs for now, although that could change after Postecoglou's replacement is announced. That replacement is likely to be current Brentford boss Thomas Frank but he is not the only man in the frame. Brentford do not want to lose Frank and will demand significant compensation, believed to be in the region of £10million, if he leaves for Spurs. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is expected to step up his search for a new manager in the coming days, with Marco Silva and Scott Parker also in the frame.

‘Our legend': Aussie football hails Europa-winning Postecoglou
Ange Postecoglou's job hangs in the balance after a dismal Premier League campaign. (AP pic) SYDNEY : Ange Postecoglou was lauded back home today for 'inspiring the next generation of Australian coaches' after steering Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League. Australian football celebrated the embattled 59-year-old's success after Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final in Bilbao last night. Despite that, Postecoglou's job hangs in the balance after a dismal Premier League campaign that has Tottenham languishing near the bottom of the table. Governing body Football Australia hailed 'the three Aussies at the centre' of Tottenham's triumph. Postecoglou's assistants include former Socceroos captain Mile Jedinak and Leeds-born naturalised Australian Nick Montgomery. 'Congratulations for continuing to break down barriers and inspire the next generation of Australian coaches,' Football Australia said in a statement. Boyhood club South Melbourne FC – known as the 'Hellas' – celebrated Postecoglou as 'our legend'. 'From his early days as a Hellas junior, to a championship-winning captain and coach, Ange has gone on to become a serial winner wherever he's been,' the club said on social media. 'His football journey is truly one of a kind.' Greek-Australian newspaper Neos Kosmos said Postecoglou's win was a source of immense community pride, while local politician Steve Dimopoulos said it was a 'major achievement'. Former Yokohama, Celtic and Australia coach Postecoglou had consistently said this year that he always wins a trophy in his second season and his words came true in Bilbao. National broadcaster ABC said that Postecoglou had 'silenced his Tottenham Hotspur doubters'. 'To some it was a meaningless boast,' it said on its website. 'To others it was a delusional symptom of the failure virus that has infiltrated everything associated with Tottenham for the past two decades or more. 'To Ange Postecoglou, it was belief.' Witness football history in Malaysia as Manchester United take on the Asean All-Stars – it's the clash you can't afford to miss. Book your seat now at before they're gone!
