π¨π¨ ππππππππ: ANGE POSTECOGLOU HAS BEEN SACKED BY SPURS.
Tottenham Hotspur have officially parted ways with manager Ange Postecoglou, concluding a tenure marked by both historic triumph and domestic disappointment. Appointed in June 2023, Postecoglou's two-year spell at Spurs saw the club end a 17-year trophy drought by clinching the UEFA Europa League title, yet also suffer their worst-ever Premier League finish.
Postecoglou's Achievements at Spurs
Historic European Triumph
Postecoglou's most significant achievement came on 21 May 2025, when Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1β0 in the UEFA Europa League final held in Bilbao. This victory marked Spurs' first European trophy since 1984 and their first major silverware since the 2007β08 League Cup. The win not only ended a prolonged trophy drought but also secured the club's qualification for the 2025β26 UEFA Champions League. Postecoglou made history as the first Australian and first manager from outside UEFA and CONMEBOL regions to win a European club competition.
Record-Breaking Start
In his inaugural Premier League season, Postecoglou led Tottenham to an impressive start, remaining unbeaten in the first ten matches with eight wins and two draws. This run represented the club's best top-flight start since the 1960β61 season. He became the first manager to win the Premier League Manager of the Month award in each of his first three months in the league.
Youth Development and Tactical Revolution
Postecoglou was instrumental in rejuvenating Spurs' playing style, introducing an attacking philosophy and integrating young talents into the first team. Players like Destiny Udogie, Pape Matar Sarr, and Yves Bissouma, who had limited opportunities under previous management, became regular starters. His emphasis on youth and dynamic football marked a significant shift in the club's approach.
Recognition and Awards
Beyond league accolades, Postecoglou was honored with the Manager of the Year award at the 2024 London Football Awards, acknowledging his positive impact on the club's performance and culture.
Despite these accomplishments, Tottenham's domestic league form deteriorated in the 2024β25 season, culminating in a 17th-place finish with 22 lossesβthe club's worst in Premier League history. This decline ultimately led to Postecoglou's dismissal. Nevertheless, his tenure is remembered for ending a long-standing trophy drought and laying the groundwork for future success.
