Ange Postecoglou tearfully expressed his gratitude to the Tottenham fans and players following his dismissal, which was announced on Friday. The Australian coach was relieved from his duties precisely two years after taking charge in north London. This decision came after what is considered the club’s worst season in Premier League history, where they finished in 17th place and suffered 22 losses out of 38 matches. Postecoglou did manage to end Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought with a victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final, but it ultimately wasn’t sufficient to retain his position. The 59-year-old has since penned an emotional statement in reaction to his sacking.
