Ange Postecoglou delivered on his promise, and what a promise it was!
The Celtic hero guided Tottenham to Europa League glory by beating Manchester United in Bilbao last month, and it’s a game the Spurs supporters will remember for a very long time.
Postecoglou managed to end the London club’s near two-decade wait for a trophy, as well as waiting over three decades to lift a European crown.
Yet, the man who won the Treble at Celtic, including winning over many fans with witty ways in the media, as well as his all-action style of play, doesn’t know if he will be in a job next season with the English Premier League side.
The 2024/25 domestic season has come to a close, Postecoglou is on his holidays, and rumours are flying around left, right and centre about his future.
And the latest bit of news isn’t going down well with either the Celtic or Tottenham supporters.
Celtic and Tottenham fans react to Ange Postecoglou’s future
The Celtic Park faithful have made it clear on social media that they would take Postecoglou back in a heartbeat – Brendan Rodgers’ current contract expires next season.
But, amid the news that Postecoglou will be sacked, the Spurs fans aren’t happy with how their former manager is being treated.
MORE CELTIC STORIES
Daniel Levy is the man calling the shots from Spurs’ boardroom, and it now looks like Postecoglou’s time could be up, despite winning a major trophy.
@DogOnDefense warned what will happen if Postecoglou goes: ‘Sack Ange and Cuti is off to Madrid. Bentancur won’t sign a new contract either. Likely sell Son on top of that which would just be depressing. Frank is a good manager but Levy is getting him because he will do things on the cheap first and foremost. The circus continues’.
This Celtic fan, @GuyIncognito21, would take Ange back if he goes: ‘I don’t care. Sack Rodgers and bring Ange back’.
@EL_padrino_78 was another one who raised the question about bringing Ange back: ‘hypothetical question. If you had too choose between Rodgers or Ange who would you want in the dugout for the season ahead’.
@aaryan123456782 used two words: ‘Massive mistake’.
@thfc_zoro thinks Spurs will become a ‘laughing stock’ again if Ange goes: ‘Back to another 20 years of being laughing stocks’.
Another Celtic fan who would welcome Ange back, as @joshxoii added: ‘you’re always welcome back at Glasgow goat 💚’.
@GlynnBusson wants Daniel Levy gone, if Ange is booted out: ‘Levy should be ousted if this is true’.
@TheBhoysPage can’t understand why Spurs are going to sack the Treble-winner at Celtic: ‘Yeah I agree, Ange had a tough run with injuries this season. Really unlucky. He just won a European trophy as well and that kind of thing lifts the whole dressing room. Sacking him now makes no sense at all’.
@Bhoy84Ok expected Ange to be given another chance: ‘I know the Europa is a small tournament for big teams but after winning the first cup in so many years I thought they would give ange another season or atleast let him start it’.
@THFC_fan7 is another unhappy Spurs fan: ‘I’m genuinely so done with this club if we sack ange’.
Postecoglou’s stats at Celtic and Tottenham
Yes, many will point towards Tottenham’s 17th-placed finish in the Premier League, and how that is unacceptable, but this isn’t a team used to winning a trophy or winning titles.
Spurs haven’t been champions of England since 1960, so whilst it isn’t great what happened in the league, you are surely willing to take such a hit because you have won such a trophy.
Either way, this is how Postecoglou’s record at Spurs and Celtic looks on paper.
