Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Ange Postecoglou despite the Australian guiding the club to victory in the Europa League and ending their 17-year trophy drought, sources have told ESPN.
Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao on May 21, fulfilling Postecoglou’s promise that he “always wins trophies in his second season” at the teams he manages.
However, the north London side finished 17th in the Premier League and suffered their most defeats in a single Premier League season (22).
Spurs lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semifinals and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa in the fourth round.
Postecoglou took over at Spurs in June 2023, guiding the club to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League and Europa League qualification in his first season in charge.
But Spurs failed to build upon his positive first campaign domestically, with a midseason injury crisis prompting them to plummet down the table and strain Postecoglou’s relationship with the club’s supporters.
