Tottenham Sacks Postecoglou; Frank Tipped as Successor

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Ange Postecoglou just weeks after he led the club to its first major trophy in 17 years with a Europa League victory over Manchester United. Despite this historic achievement and restoring an attacking style of play, the board cited Tottenham's worst-ever Premier League finish—17th place with 22 losses—as the main reason for his dismissal. The club emphasized the need to compete on multiple fronts and the importance of consistent domestic performance. Postecoglou, who joined Spurs from Celtic in 2023, expressed pride in his tenure and gratitude to supporters. Fan and commentator reactions were mixed, reflecting disappointment over his departure and concern about league results. Thomas Frank is reportedly the frontrunner to succeed him as manager.
