Daniel Levy: Tottenham chairman says sacking Ange Postecoglou was 'emotionally' difficult - BBC
Description

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy says sacking manager Ange Postecoglou after he led the club to victory in the Europa League was "emotionally" difficult.

The Australian was relieved of his duties just 16 days after a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final in Bilbao secured Spurs' first major trophy for 17 years.

Postecoglou paid the price for a poor domestic campaign in which his side finished 17th in the Premier League, with former Brentford boss Thomas Frank brought in to replace him.

"I don't regret appointing Ange, I'm very grateful to Ange. In his first season we finished fifth and in his second we were over the moon to win a trophy," Levy told the club's media team.

"But we need to compete in all competitions, and we felt that we needed a change.

"Emotionally it was difficult but we feel that we've made the right decision for the club."

Levy has held his position at Tottenham for more than 25 years with Frank becoming the 13th permanent manager in that time.

"I've got very broad shoulders," Levy said.

"Failure is not an option, the desire [is] to succeed. And because it's so difficult, I want to succeed even more."

Levy and newly-appointed Spurs chief executive Vinai Venkatesham were both involved in the process of bringing Frank in after he spent seven successful years at Brentford.

The 51-year-old Dane has signed a deal that will keep him in charge at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2028.

"We ran a really, really thorough process - at speed," Venkatesham said.

"We defined 10 characteristics that we think are important to be a successful manager at Tottenham Hotspur, we analysed in real detail, through our technical staff, more than 30 candidates.

"We had a lot of time with the shortlist and Thomas was absolutely the number one candidate.

"We could not be more excited to have him join the club.

"Personally, one of the things I've excited about is that he is an outstanding developer of young players so I really look forward to seeing what he can do with the squad we have here."

Levy added: "Whenever you have a new coach, it's always a fresh start. [There are] always have different ideas but we want to build on the success of winning a trophy last season.

"One of the things that stood out to me with Thomas was that he is clearly highly intelligent, a great communicator, super human being plus all the technical aspects which are obviously important."

Manor Solomon: Tottenham in touch with stranded Israel winger

Spurs in touch with stranded Israel winger Solomon - BBC
Description

Tottenham are in regular contact with winger Manor Solomon after the midfielder was left stranded in Israel because of the ongoing conflict with Iran.

The 25-year-old Israel international married long-term partner Dana Voshina in his homeland last Thursday.

However, the couple have been unable to leave the country after the Israeli military closed airspace to civilian traffic following aerial attacks from Iran last week.

Solomon, who spent last season on loan at Leeds United, is due to return to pre-season training with Spurs in early July.

"We are constantly in regular dialogue with all our players regarding their wellbeing and welfare," a Tottenham spokesperson said.

The midfielder joined Spurs from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023 but made just six appearances for the club before a season-ending knee injury.

After 12 months on loan at Fulham, Solomon joined Leeds United on a season-long loan deal in 2024.

He scored 10 times in 39 Championship matches last season as Leeds were promoted back into the Premier League.

Solomon married partner Voshina last Thursday - 24 hours before Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites.

The two countries have been exchanging airborne attacks ever since.
