Tottenham news: Ange Postecoglou departs

Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur, less than a month after guiding Spurs to their first trophy for 17 years.

The Australian was at the helm for Tottenham’s Europa League final win over Manchester United in Bilbao, which guaranteed Champions League qualification for next season.

However, Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League and despite that European success he will not remain in charge for a third season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A club statement said: “Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw.

“However, the board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the club for a change to take place.”

It added: “This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude.

“We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision.”

What do you think, Spurs fans? Right decision after a dismal league campaign? Or did he deserve to stay in charge after Europa League glory?
