Following the Europa League victory, Tottenham Hotspur dismisses their head coach.
A Shocking Split: Tottenham's Europe-Winning Coach Out in Two Weeks.
In a surprising turn of events, English football powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur has bid adieu to coach Ange Postecoglou. The announcement was made on the club's official website.
The statement read, "Although Ange will forever be etched in our history books as the third manager to win a European title, the board has collectively decided that a change is crucial for the club's progress."
A Mixed Bag in the Premier League
Under the guidance of Postecoglou, Tottenham clinched its first title in 17 years. A victorious 1-0 against Manchester United in the Europa League final marked their triumph. Unfortunately, in the Premier League, the team, featuring Leipzig loanee Timo Werner, witnessed a disappointing season, securing a 17th place spot, just one rung above the relegation zone.

Wishing to Stay But Forced to Leave
Postecoglou, who arrived from Celtic Glasgow two years ago, had recently expressed his eagerness to continue. However, the 59-year-old's tenure at the North London club appears to be over.
"The club appreciates the solid foundation Postecoglou has laid for us," the club said. "We wish him the best in his future endeavors." The identity of his successor remains shrouded in mystery, at least for now. (dpa)
The Possible Successor: Thomas Frank
Rumors swirl around Thomas Frank as the primary contender to replace Postecoglou. Frank, currently managing Brentford, is currently in negotiations with Tottenham, and positive progress has been reported. The catch? A reported compensation of approximately £10 million must be paid to Brentford, due to Frank's release clause in his contract[1][2][3].
Frank's impressive record with Brentford, leading them to promotion and establishing them as a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League, has caught the eye of Tottenham's technical director, Johan Lange, who shares a history with Frank in Denmark[2][3]. Though Brentford is open to letting Frank join a bigger club, negotiations over the compensation are expected to be intense[2]. Other potential candidates, including Marco Silva and Andoni Iraola, are also in the running, but Frank seems to be the odds-on favorite at the moment[2].
Despite Postecoglou's successful tenure at Tottenham, including winning the Europa League title, the club has decided to part ways with him following a disappointing Premier League season. With 17th place finish and 22 losses in 38 games, it seems that the new focus is on improving the club's performance in the Premier League, and Thomas Frank, the current manager of Brentford, is being strongly considered as a potential successor.
