Levy Defends Postecoglou Sacking After Europa Win

Tottenham Hotspur ended a 17-year trophy drought by winning the UEFA Europa League last season under manager Ange Postecoglou, but also recorded a disappointing 17th-place finish in the Premier League. Despite delivering the club's first trophy since 2008, Postecoglou was dismissed shortly after the victory, a move that chairman Daniel Levy described as a collective decision and which drew widespread criticism and confusion among fans and pundits. Levy has remained a focal point of fan frustration over the club's lack of major trophies and perceived missed opportunities, despite his leadership on major projects like the acclaimed new stadium. He expressed that his legacy may be appreciated only after his tenure, while reiterating the club's ambition to achieve more than a single success. The Europa League win offered brief respite for supporters, but discontent persists over the team's inconsistency in major competitions. Levy hopes the recent European triumph can serve as a springboard for more sustained achievement.
