Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur despite ending their long wait for silverware, according to reports
Journalist Fabrizio Romano posted: "Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur," adding a bomb emoji. "Decision made by chairman Daniel Levy."
The decision comes just weeks after he guided Spurs to the Europa League with a 1-0 victory against Manchester United to end Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought and return the club to the Champions League next season.
But the 59-year-old also oversaw the club's worst-ever Premier League campaign, as the North Londoners finished an embarrassing 17th in the table. Postecoglou appeared at Spurs' trophy parade in high spirits as he told fans: "[In] all the best television series, season three is better than season two."
The Aussie's manager's apparent intention to remain in North London has not been reciprocated by club owner, Daniel Levy, who today decided to end his two-year spell with the Lilywhites.

Ange Postecoglou ended Tottenham's 17-year trophy wait
Postecoglou was hired by Spurs in 2023, after he left Scottish giants Celtic, where he had won two Scottish Premierships. He made a bright start to life in North London.
After an unbeaten start with two wins and a draw in his first three matches, Postecoglou received the Premier League Manager of the Month award for August, becoming the first manager since David Wagner to win the award in his first month in the division.
He would also win his first North London derby and their first victory against Liverpool in five years - thanks to one of the most controversial VAR decisions in history. However, Spurs would end up outside of the Champions League spots - finishing 5th.

Postecoglou's second season in English football was tough, with Spurs struggling domestically amid a brutal injury crisis that saw their squad pushed to breaking point.
There were also regular arguments and flashpoints between Postecoglou and fans in the stands, appearing to cause a rift between the manager and the Tottenham faithful. However, to many all was forgiven when he brought home the Europa League trophy in Bilbao.
