Tottenham Sack Ange Postecoglou After Europa League Win, Son Calls Him Club Legend

Tottenham Hotspur has parted ways with manager Ange Postecoglou just over two weeks after he led the club to its first major trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League. Despite this historic success, Tottenham's poor Premier League performance, finishing 17th with 22 losses, led to his dismissal. Club captain Son Heung-min and several players, including goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and defender Micky van de Ven, publicly praised Postecoglou's leadership, calling him a 'Tottenham Hotspur legend' and highlighting his positive impact on the team. Son expressed gratitude for being appointed captain by Postecoglou and credited him with changing the club’s trajectory and fostering a strong belief in the squad. The players’ tributes emphasize Postecoglou's role as a mentor and leader who earned their respect despite the team's domestic struggles. The club's supporters' trust has also voiced concern over the managerial change following such a significant but short-lived achievement.
