Nick Kyrgios has never been one to shy away from controversy, but his reaction to Tottenham’s decision to part ways with Ange Postecoglou will truly ruffle feathers among Spurs fans.
Of course, many Tottenham Hotspur fans are delighted about the club’s recent success in the past season under Ange Postecoglou, where they won the Europa League and ended a long 17-year trophy drought.
While the Australian did struggle domestically, leading Spurs to their worst ever Premier League finish in history, Ange Postecoglou still managed to etch his name into Tottenham folklore following that historic night in Bilbao, Spain.
Spurs’ new head coach, Thomas Frank, even regards Postecoglou as a Spurs legend, and so do several other Tottenham fans who do not believe that Ange should have been sacked.
Nick Kyrgios slams Tottenham sacking Ange Postecoglou
Nick Kyrgios, a tennis star who is no stranger to controversy, has now opened up on what he thinks of Tottenham’s decision to sack Postecoglou.
The former Wimbledon finalist is an Australian of Greek origin, just like Ange Postecoglou, and claims to be a fan of Tottenham.
However, it appears that Kyrgios is ready to wash his hands of Spurs, following the club’s decision to sack the Europa League-winning manager a few weeks ago, on 6 June.

The tennis player has now opened up on where his future footballing attention lies, stating that he will now show his support to Tottenham’s bitter rivals, Arsenal.
He said speaking on TalkSPORT: “Half the reason why I do like Tottenham is because of Ange so I am not sure… I think I might have to jump on the Arsenal bandwagon.
“I played a lot of FIFA (video game) in the past so I am not sure my supporting cast to Tottenham ever meant much. Yeah, I will jump on the Arsenal bandwagon.”
Kyrgios’ switch mirrors infamous Spurs betrayal
It is not unheard of for a former COYS to make a switch from Tottenham to Arsenal, with Sol Campbell being one of the most popular examples in recent years.
Since the defender made the switch from the white side of North London to the red side, fans of the Lilywhites never forgave him, as he remains public enemy number one, with unflattering chants about the defender continuing to ring around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium regularly.
Indeed, making such a switch to the enemy is something that is not taken lightly by Tottenham supporters, and with Kyrgios being vocal about his switch, he has now committed one of the cardinal sins of football, one that would make him unpopular in N17.
