Ex-Tottenham Manager Postecoglou Rejects Fenerbahce, Awaits Premier League Opportunity

Ange Postecoglou has declined an offer to become head coach of Turkish club Fenerbahce, who recently parted ways with Jose Mourinho after failing to qualify for the Champions League. Postecoglou, sacked by Tottenham Hotspur despite winning the Europa League, is prioritizing opportunities in Europe's top five leagues and has indicated he will not rush back into management outside of those elite competitions. He was also linked with Bayer Leverkusen following their dismissal of Erik ten Hag, but former Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand is now the frontrunner for that role. Potential Premier League openings might include Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, or West Ham, as Postecoglou aims for a return to English football. If a Premier League move does not materialize, a return to Celtic has been speculated, given his successful spell there. Both Postecoglou and other candidates like Luciano Spalletti have distanced themselves from the Fenerbahce role, emphasizing their ambitions to manage at the highest European level.
