Ange Postecoglou was brutally sacked by Tottenham in June despite winning the Europa League - but he is clearly living his best life away from football.

Postecoglou, 59, received an $8million payout from the Premier League club, and a recent TikTok video shows the ex-Socceroos boss isn't kicking stones as he patiently waits for his next managerial opportunity.

'Aussie Ange' can be seen dining at Sta Kala Kathoumena, an exclusive eatery on the Greek isle of Paros, where he rubbed shoulders with celebrity chef Stefanos Saratsis.

As the former A-League coach at Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory watches on, Saratsis slices the steak into ribbons before spearing a section on to his knife to add seasoning.

Postecoglou gestures his approval to the chef as the clip ends.

It comes after Spurs chairman Daniel Levy recently revealed why Postecoglou was moved on from the North London club.

'Ultimately, the decision sits with me,' Levy said.

'Ange won us a trophy – a European trophy – highly significant and he's always going to be in our history.

'However, we couldn't lose sight of the fact that we finished 17th in the league, we lost 22 Premier League games... it is impossible for Tottenham to be in that position.

'We had to take the emotion out of it.

'Whichever level you do it, no one likes telling somebody, "You're losing your job", but it is the nature of football.

'We are there to win and yes, we won a European trophy – and it was fantastic – but we also need to win on all fronts – and the Premier League says it all.'

Levy then swiftly appointed former Brentford boss Thomas Frank as Spurs' new manager in June.

Postecoglou - who also received a $4.2million bonus for winning the Europa League - has been linked to a move to the MLS to manage Los Angeles FC.

He was also reportedly approached by Al-Ahli, who won the AFC Champions League in May and play in the Saudi Pro League.

Socceroos legend Robbie Slater is adamant Postecoglou won't be out of work for too long.

'He put himself in that top echelon by being at a big club and winning a big trophy,' Slater told Code Sports.

'(But) the way he plays football, I don't think a lower club in the Premier League will look at him and go 'we can take that risk.'

'He might get that opportunity in Europe, maybe Spain or France. 'He's gonna get a job, he will be in demand.

'He won't have a job to start next season, but as we know in football it won't take long.'
