Shock Exit: Postecoglou to Be Axed by Spurs After Historic Trophy Win
So, it’s official—well, almost. Tottenham Hotspur are set to part ways with Ange Postecoglou, and honestly, it’s a bit hard to wrap your head around. Just over a week ago, he led Spurs to their first major trophy in 17 years, lifting the Europa League in a euphoric final in Bilbao. That moment felt like a turning point—a long-awaited breakthrough for a club that's seen its fair share of near-misses. But now, in a dramatic twist, it seems that joy will be short-lived.
Sources close to the club have revealed that, despite the public silence and chairman Daniel Levy being overseas, the decision to sack Postecoglou has already been made behind closed doors. The official announcement is expected in the coming days. The timing is brutal but calculated—Tottenham wanted the emotional high from the trophy win to settle before making a move, and they've also been gauging fan reaction quietly behind the scenes.

At the core of this shock decision lies one undeniable truth: Spurs’ Premier League season was nothing short of a disaster. Finishing 17th—the club's worst ever Premier League finish—with 22 defeats and 65 goals conceded was simply unacceptable. It overshadowed the European success and exposed serious flaws in the squad’s league form and management.
Despite Postecoglou’s reputation for building attacking football and developing talent, it looks like the board has already started working on a Plan B. Several names are being considered as his successor. Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Fulham’s Marco Silva, and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola are reportedly on the shortlist. Silva seems the most open to talks, while Iraola’s new contract talks at Bournemouth might take him off the table. As for Frank, there’s a release clause involved, and Levy has never been too fond of paying extra when he can avoid it.
It's a messy, cold end for Postecoglou, whose vision for the club now lies in ruins. His focus on the Europa League, while yielding a long-awaited trophy, wasn’t enough to mask the league catastrophe. Now, the search begins for someone new—someone who can bring both results and style, without the inconsistency that ultimately cost Postecoglou his job.
Whether or not Spurs fans agree with this call, one thing is clear: Tottenham are once again at a crossroads, and the next appointment could shape their trajectory for years to come.
