Former Leeds United star Archie Gray has fired an emotional message to Ange Postecoglou after his departure as Tottenham manager.
Gray left the Whites last summer to complete a permanent move to Spurs in a deal worth around £40million. The versatile midfielder won the Young Player of the Year award for Leeds - in 2024 - before completing a move from Elland Road to north London.
Since leaving Leeds, Gray has gone on to become a key member of the Tottenham squad - and also helped Spurs win the Europa League with Postecoglou as manager.
However, it was confirmed earlier this week that Postecoglou had been sacked from his role.
Postecoglou had been in charge for two years at Spurs, with the club finishing 17th in the Premier League last season, but still managed to qualify for the Champions League owing to their Europa League final victory over Manchester United.
A day after the sacking was confirmed, Gray took to Instagram to send a message to his now-former boss. The former Leeds star wrote on his Instagram story: "Thank you for everything gaffer," accompanied by a white love heart emoji and a photo of Gray and Postecoglou hugging.
It was back in August 2023 that Gray was handed his senior debut for Leeds under manager Daniel Farke. The midfielder was 17 years old at the time when he made his bow for United in a 2-2 draw with Cardiff City in the Championship.
He would go on to make 52 appearances in his first full season as a first-team player for Leeds, including 44 in the Championship. That helped Gray earn him his move to Tottenham, where he has since made 46 appearances in all competitions - 11 of which have come in the Europa League.
