    He is definitely better than Rodgers at spotting a player. Either that or he has better contacts.

    Hope he goes to somewhere he’s appreciated next, Spurs fans are going to be divided over this sacking for awhile I reckon. Might be funny if they implode next season.

    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.

    He would no doubtly be sacked as Poch, Mouriniho and Conte were. Spurs are one of the wealthiest clubs in Europe, they will be hoping they find the right manager to spark an era. Eddie Howe managed to win Newcastles first trophy in decades and still finished 5th gaining champions league participation. Ange finished 17, thats completely unacceptable for Spurs.

    Hope he bounces right back with a new, better club for next year. The game's better with him in it.

    He won a European trophy, so he might argue otherwise.

    Like it or not, the last time we came close to that is over 2 decades ago.

    Maybe the problem with spurs isn’t the managers they’ve went through but the chairman.
    Well he is the common denominator

    They will never be a successful club while Levy is there, insane decision after winning the Europa League and players backing Ange publicly.

    Good news for us though once Rodgers inevitably leaves next season.

    Bit disappointed with that. Hoped it would cost the losers more.

    That's a good shout I think Ange would be amazing at Brentford. I'd fancy them to finish above Spurs as well
