Ange Postecoglou started working with Tottenham Hotspur on June 6, 2023, and his time there ended with his firing on June 6, 2025. His time at the club was filled with both big successes and tough challenges.
One of the biggest moments during Postecoglou’s time was when Tottenham won the UEFA Europa League in 2025. They beat Manchester United 1-0, which ended a 17-year wait for a trophy for the club and gave them their first European trophy since 1984. This win also meant they qualified for the Champions League the next season. Fans celebrated with an open-top bus parade, and Postecoglou shared his hopes for the future, saying, “season three is always better than season two.”
However, even with the European win, Postecoglou faced problems in the 2024-25 Premier League season. The team finished in 17th place, suffering 22 losses in a 38-game season, which was the worst finish for the club since 1976-77 and had the most losses for a team that didn’t get relegated. Injuries also played a part in the tough season, making the contrast between their European success and domestic struggles even more complicated.
Many news sources, like The Telegraph, Daily Mail, and Metro, reported that Tottenham decided to fire Postecoglou, even after his recent Europa League win. This decision was mainly due to the team’s poor performance in the Premier League, and there were hints that an official announcement was coming soon. This decision followed weeks of rumors, and discussions about Postecoglou’s compensation package, which was said to be in the seven figures, were also part of the financial consequences.
