Spurs say it comes following a review of performances, despite his success in leading the club to the UEFA Europa League title in 2024.

Postecoglou, who joined from Celtic in 2023, restored the club’s attacking style and became only the third manager in Tottenham’s history to win a European trophy.

However, the team’s poor Premier League performance, with 78 points from the last 66 games and their worst-ever league finish last season, prompted the board to make a unanimous decision for a change.

The club cited the need to compete on multiple fronts and believes a new approach will enhance future success.

Tottenham acknowledged Postecoglou’s contributions, noting the talented squad he leaves behind, and will announce a new head coach soon, with Thomas Frank the current bookies favourite to take over.

Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties.

CLUB STATEMENT:

Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties.

Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao last month – an achievement that will live with us all forever.

We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw.

However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances – injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club’s greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph.

It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision.

We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future – he will always be welcome back at our home.

News on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course.

Ange Postecoglou releases statement with a swipe at critics after being sacked by Tottenham

: Nothing like a horrible decision to rally up your fans after securing Champions League football.

:
Ange: wins a trophy.
Levy: “It’s not who we are, mate.”

: An absolute disgrace. We are going nowhere without this man.

: Shocking decision, never known a club to be THIS out of touch with their fanbase.

: Fuck Daniel Levy.

: Daniel Levy not putting his name on this statement says a lot about him. A decision that he made yet is too scared to be the face of. Cowardly.

: That is harsh man.

: When is it Daniel Levy’s turn for “a review of performances and significant reflection”?

: We’ve won ONE trophy in 17 years. ONE European trophy since 1984??? What do you mean a review of performances???? Any ambitious club invests in what he’s built here.

: Following a 25 year review and significant reflection, it’s time to relieve Daniel Levy of his duties.

: Ange is a legend. But he had to go. He couldn’t play his style of football because – at this level – it means sustained injuries. It’s ruining the players. He did well in the Europa playing a different style. But what would next year bring? More hamstring injuries?

: I’m really annoyed at this decision. Yes the league was poor but look at what he done for the club! I’m just so disheartened again after such a high 😤

@leedownes1979: Deserved much better – proved everyone wrong and deserved season 3. Levy has chosen yet another rebuild over building on success and I don’t see how Thomas Frank is a step up from Ange. He worked wonders with the squad he had – Levy either needs to put up the cash now or go!!

Sacking our most successful manager in the last 30 years. Deserved more respect and a few months to put things right in the league. Hope you paid him out twice what he was owed! pic.twitter.com/TaZlLcXI5D

Grateful but you sacked him on his two year anniversary?

When will Levy be relieved of his duties as he has underperformed for far longer than all the managers he has replaced. pic.twitter.com/nb4ta5kusP
