Tottenham Hotspur have parted company with Ange Postecoglou, with Daniel Levy giving the Europa League winner the sack after two years despite ending a 17-year trophy drought.
The Australian manager did enjoy a successful few weeks at the helm of Spurs in his first ten games during the 2023/24 season, where he had Tottenham topping the Premier League table.
However, injuries have since hit his squad, and it has only derailed the club’s league trajectory ever since, with Postecoglou suffering more league defeats than wins in his 76 games in charge during his time at Hotspur Way, losing 34 Premier League matches, while winning 31.
The 59-year-old’s second season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has only raised more concerns about the form of the Lilywhites, as the north London club ended their 2024/25 campaign in 17th place, after losing 22 games.
Tottenham sack Ange Postecoglou after two turbulent seasons
Ange Postecoglou did manage to bring about success on the continental stage, winning Tottenham their first ever European trophy after 41 years, while also ending their 17-year wait for a piece of major honour.
However, that has proven to be no saving grace for the Australian, as Spurs have now confirmed his sacking after two full seasons as head coach of the Lilywhites.
