Ange Postecoglou Could Make Immediate Return to Premier League After Shock Tottenham Sacking
Ange Postecoglou may not be out of work for long following his sudden and controversial departure from Tottenham Hotspur. The Australian manager was sacked by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy on Friday, despite having recently guided the club to its first piece of silverware in 17 years. His exit has raised eyebrows across the football world, not least because of the timing and circumstances surrounding it.
Just days before his dismissal, Postecoglou led Tottenham to a memorable 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final held in Bilbao. The win marked a significant achievement for the club and added another trophy to Postecoglou’s already impressive managerial résumé. However, Spurs’ dismal performance in the Premier League — where they slumped to a shocking 17th-place finish after losing 22 matches — proved to be his undoing. For Levy and the Spurs board, such a finish was unacceptable, regardless of European success.
The decision to relieve Postecoglou of his duties is believed to have been met with dismay within the squad. Players reportedly appreciated his leadership and the positive atmosphere he fostered within the dressing room. Nevertheless, the club is wasting no time in seeking a replacement, with Brentford manager Thomas Frank emerging as a leading candidate to take over at the helm.
Despite the unceremonious end to his time at Spurs, Postecoglou’s coaching reputation remains strong. Known for his dynamic, attacking style of play and a proven track record of success, the 59-year-old is already attracting attention from other Premier League sides. According to The Daily Mail, one rival club is actively pursuing him as they look ahead to the 2025/26 season.
So far, Postecoglou has remained tight-lipped about his next move. Instead, his initial response to the sacking focused on reflecting on his tenure with pride. In a heartfelt statement, he paid tribute to his time in North London and the memories he created with the club.
“When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride,” he said. “Having the opportunity to lead one of England’s most storied football clubs and help restore some of its glory is something that will stay with me forever. Sharing that journey with the fans and seeing the impact it had on them is something I’ll never forget.”
Postecoglou went on to describe the Europa League final as the culmination of two years of relentless effort. “That night in Bilbao was more than just a win — it was the result of belief, hard work, and the courage to chase a dream that many thought was out of reach,” he said. “We faced many challenges and plenty of noise, but we never wavered. And while this chapter ends, I believe we’ve laid the groundwork for a brighter future at this club.”
During his tenure, Postecoglou managed 101 matches, winning 47. His Europa League triumph with Spurs adds to an already decorated career that includes league titles with clubs in Australia, Japan, and Scotland — including successful spells at South Melbourne, Brisbane Roar, Yokohama F. Marinos, and Celtic.
Tottenham, in their official statement, acknowledged his contribution to the club’s history. “Ange will forever be remembered as only the third manager in our history to secure a European trophy, joining the legendary Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw,” the statement read. “However, after careful consideration, the board has unanimously agreed that a change is in the best interest of the club moving forward.”
As the dust settles, Postecoglou’s future appears far from uncertain. Given his reputation, leadership qualities, and commitment to attacking football, it’s only a matter of time before another top-flight club offers him a fresh opportunity to continue his managerial journey in the Premier League.
