Former Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is now attracting interest from two major European clubs who are both in the hunt for a new manager.
Tottenham Hotspur ended a long wait for silverware last season after they won the Europa League, beating Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao, Spain.
It was ultimately a campaign to remember for the Lilywhites, who finally got their hands on silverware after a 17-year wait.
However, it was not all rosy for Tottenham, as their continental success was not replicated domestically, with Ange Postecoglou’s men falling to a 17th-place finish in the Premier League, the worst in Tottenham’s history.
Ange Postecoglou linked with Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahce
According to Fabrizio Romano, Postecoglou is now being considered by both Turkish side Fenerbahce and German side Bayer Leverkusen.
Fenerbahce only just parted ways with former Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho after he failed to secure Champions League qualification, while Bayer Leverkusen have already dismissed Erik ten Hag, despite only appointing him in the summer.
The Tottenham hierarchy decided after Postecoglou’s poor domestic campaign that it was best for both sides to part ways, with Daniel Levy axing the Australian on his second anniversary as manager.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Ever since his Spurs departure, Ange Postecoglou has remained without a job for just over two months, but the latest reports suggest he is being lined up for a swift return to the dugout, with interest from two clubs on the continent.
Romano revealed in his post on X: “Ange Postecoglou, emerging as option for both Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahce looking for new head coach. Former Spurs manager discussed as name at both clubs ahead of decision.”
What next for Postecoglou
This is not the first time Ange Postecoglou has been linked with new roles since leaving Tottenham, with several clubs monitoring his availability.
In fact, only weeks after he departed from N17, reports began to circulate that Premier League sides were already weighing up whether to bring the Australian back to England.
It remains to be seen what Postecoglou’s next move will be, but one thing is certain: wherever he ends up, history suggests that a trophy in his second season is more or less a guarantee.
