New Delhi: Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Ange Postecoglou despite him ending the club’s 17-year trophy drought after winning the Europa League. He helped the club to win their first European Trophy in 41 years, but it could not prevent him from being removed as the head coach after a disastrous Premier League campaign in which Spurs finished 17th on the table, losing 22 games of their 38.
Spurs confirmed Postecoglou’s sacking and released a statement expressing their gratitude to Ange for his commitment and contributions during his two years at the Club. The statement further added that he will always be remembered as only the third manager in the club’s history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw.

But they added that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. “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”, the statement said.
The club finished fifth in Postecoglou’s debut season in charge before he kept his promise to deliver a trophy in his second year. As per the multiple reports, Brentford boss Thomas Frank is the leading contender to succeed him.
