Why Ange's Tottenham Just Isn't Working

Ange Postecoglou has been sacked as Tottenham manager just two weeks after leading the club to a long-awaited trophy.

The Australian guided the club to Europa League triumph against Manchester United in Bilbao to secure Spurs’ first silverware since 2008 and qualification for next season’s Champions League. It is not to have been enough, however, to ensure that he has a future at the club, with Daniel Levy and the rest of the Tottenham hierarchy ruthlessly removing Postecoglou following a disastrous Premier League campaign that saw his side finish fourth from bottom.

Postecoglou had spoken in optimistic tones about getting the chance to build on the Europa League win, but will not get the chance to do so, with Brentford’s Thomas Frank among the possible contenders to take on what should be a desirable role. While beset with injuries across his two seasons in north London, the 59-year-old’s tactical rigidity and occasional outbursts had made him a somewhat divisive figure - and Spurs have elected to move on and seek a new man at the helm.

Thomas Frank leading contender to replace Postecoglou

Thoughts will now go to who replaces the Australian as manager of Tottenham Hotspur.

The leading contender at the minute is Brentford’s Thomas Frank.

Frank led the Bees to the Premier League and has kept them in the top flight for the last four seasons.

His best finish in the Premier League was ninth and this season Brentford finished 10th.

Frank has often been rumoured to move to a bigger club and Postecoglou’s departure may be the opportunity he needs.

Ange Postecoglou sacked by Tottenham

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by chairman Daniel Levy just two weeks after leading the club to its firt trophy in 17 years.

Postecoglou’s side won the Europa League back in May after defeating Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao.

But, having also led the club to a 17th placed finish in the Premier League this season Postecoglou has been let go.

There evidently wasn’t enough faith in the manager to get Spurs through a Champions League campaign next season.
