Nick Kyrgios has turned his back on Tottenham after a recent Daniel Levy decision.
Tottenham had a Premier League season to forget after finishing 17th.
Although winning the UEFA Europa League and securing Champions League football for Tottenham next season proved to be a saving grace, it was not enough to save Ange Postecoglou.
Daniel Levy’s decision to sack the Australian has caused a divide among the fanbase, and Australian tennis superstar Kyrgios has gone to extreme measures to show his disappointment.
Kyrgios declares support for Arsenal after Postecoglou sack
Postecoglou’s sacking caused plenty of debate at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and further afield.

There is no doubt that the former Spurs boss’ stubbornness to play a certain type of football put his side in a difficult position at times.
However, being hit by injuries in the way his squad was and a lack of financial support to buy reinforcements in the winter transfer window did make it hard for the 59-year-old.
Ultimately, Postecoglou guided his side to lift a trophy, which is exactly what he said he would achieve.
Nevertheless, Levy has identified Thomas Frank as the right man to take things forward, feeling as though his former appointment hadn’t done enough.
That decision has ruffled some feathers, though, and Kyrgios has gone to extreme measures to show his support for his fellow Australian.
When asked live on talkSPORT (24 June, 9:43am) if he could still be a Tottenham supporter after Postecoglou’s sacking, he replied: “Look, half the reason why I do like Tottenham is because of Ange, so yeah, I’m not sure. I think I might have to jump on the Arsenal bandwagon.“
“I played a lot of FIFA in my time, so I’m not sure that my supporting cast to Tottenham really meant much, but yeah, I’ll jump on the Arsenal bandwagon.”
Levy needs Frank appointment to pay off
Although some supporters felt Postecoglou deserved more time at the helm, the decision to sack him after the disappointment of the season is not the most outrageous call.
Nevertheless, it’s fair for questions to be asked about his replacement, as it doesn’t necessarily show ambition in terms of getting someone more experienced to take the side forward in the Champions League.
Frank did an impressive job at Brentford, but it does feel like a somewhat risky appointment, too.
However, Levy needs this one to pay off; otherwise, he will surely be left in a sticky position after yet another failed managerial appointment.
