Ange Postecoglou was sacked as Tottenham manager on Friday, just 16 days after the Australian ended the club's 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League.
Postecoglou led Tottenham to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Bilbao to clinch the north Londoners' first European prize in 41 years and secure a place in next season's Champions League.
But the Australian paid the price for Tottenham's worst domestic season since they were relegated from the top flight in 1976-77.
"Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties," a statement on Tottenham's official X account said.

Rassie Erasmus took Springboks to a 'dark place' ahead of Barbarians season opener
FILE - Springboks wing Cheslin Kolbe says they were properly put through their paces ahead of the international season. Image: Justin Tallis / AFP Cheslin Kolbe has been a Springboks stalwart for the last seven years and has basically won everything there is to win in the green and gold. The same goes for many of his teammates, who have walked this journey with coach Rassie Erasmus since 2018. They have been there, done that and have two Rugby World Cup-winning T-shirts to show for it. There is nothing they haven't experienced in the Springbok environment Or so they thought … Kolbe revealed on Monday that their pre-season camp ahead of the 2025 international season, which starts on Saturday with a match against the Barbarians in Cape Town, was the toughest one he has ever experienced with the Springboks. The fleet-footed wing says there were plenty of 'dark' moments as Erasmus and his coaching staff put the team through their paces at altitude in Johannesburg ahead of a jam-packed year, which could see them play 15 matches by December. Erasmus' mantra has always been that the intensity of their training needs to be on such a level that what they face on the weekend feels like a game of touchies. And he certainly didn't hold back over the last couple of weeks. 'It's probably my toughest pre-season that I have been part of in the Springboks,' Kolbe told the media at the team's hotel on Monday. 'Physically, the whole squad is doing well. There is a reason why we go up to Johannesburg because of the altitude. 'But it does bring the best out of everyone, it's tough and pushes you to the limit, where you get into a dark place. It brings everyone's character to the fore, to show what it takes in those dark moments … to get out of there and just hang in there. 'It's been good preparation.' The intensity of the training must have been a massive eye opener for the newbies in the Bok team. Erasmus has been actively busy with the rebuild since last year, as many of his banker players such as Kolbe are on the wrong side of 30 as they head into the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. Last year Erasmus used a total of 50 players, blooding 12 rookies to build capacity over the next few years before they go and defend their title Down Under in two years' time. Kolbe is certainly enjoying the injection of new blood, saying the competition for places is keeping everybody sharp. 'The young talent is unbelievable. It keeps each and everyone of us on our toes. They are pushing for positions and we are pushing for positions,' Kolbe added. 'It brings the best out of each and everyone of us, and whoever gets the opportunity on game day, we have to make sure that we prepare well and do the business on the weekend.'

From fallen giants to giant-killers: Botafogo's remarkable revival
Once Brazilian football royalty, Botafogo had languished for decades as a debt-ridden sleeping giant before they toppled Paris St Germain at the Club World Cup to cap a resurrection tale three years in the making. When American entrepreneur John Textor acquired the club in 2022, fresh from their promotion back to Brazil's first division, he took on a training ground so decrepit that then-coach Luis Castro dismissed it as 'good for parking cars'. That was alongside crushing liabilities exceeding one billion reais (R3.3bn). Botafogo were a storied but shattered institution. The club that once nurtured Brazilian greats — Garrincha, Zagallo, Jairzinho and Nilton Santos, architects of three World Cup triumphs — was drowning in debt, having endured the humiliation of relegation three times in just over a decade. On Thursday, they outplayed European champions PSG to win 1-0 in the Club World Cup's most eye-catching upset, propelling themselves to the top of the tournament's 'group of death' and on the verge of the knockout stage. PSG did not see Igor Jesus coming 🫣 #FIFACWC #CWC2025 #SSFootball — SuperSport Football ⚽️ (@SSFootball) June 20, 2025 Their squad, assembled through shrewd bargain-hunting in football's forgotten corners, now faces Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid in Los Angeles on Monday, sitting comfortably, knowing even a two-goal defeat would still secure their passage to the round of 16. The victory over PSG vindicated Textor's vision, outlined in a Reuters interview three years prior, of 'beating the system' through astute scouting in under-explored talent pools. The architects of Thursday's victory exemplified this approach. Match-winner Igor Jesus arrived as a free agent after three anonymous years in the UAE and was transformed into a Brazil international. Argentinian defender Alexander Barboza, who neutralised PSG's vaunted attack, was plucked from Paraguay's Club Libertad for nothing. Captain Marlon Freitas came from second-division Atletico Goianiense, while experienced European campaigners Alex Telles and Allan were revitalised after spells in Middle Eastern leagues. Gregore, Jefferson Savarino, John and Cuiabano were all signed for under 2m (R41.5m) each. 'The goal is to be sustainably competitive every year,' Botafogo CEO Thairo Arruda told Reuters. 'With a top six payroll, we produce like a top three.' The transformation extends far beyond the pitch. Revenues have soared from 140 million reais in 2022 to projected earnings exceeding 1.1 billion by 2025, while liabilities have been slashed by 40%. Textor's Eagle Football empire also encompasses stakes in Ligue 1's Olympique Lyonnais and Premier League Crystal Palace. Botafogo's Renaissance — crowned by last year's domestic and continental double — has breathed new life into a club motto once heavy with self-pity: 'There are things that only happen to Botafogo.' After outclassing Europe's elite, those words now carry an altogether sweeter resonance.

5 Players to watch in Proteas-Zimbabwe Test series in Bulawayo
Kwena Maphaka celebrates with his Proteas teammates after claiming his first Test wicket, Pakistan star Babar Azam, at Newlands last Sunday. Photo: AFP The World Test Champions have not had much time to put their feet back up home after their heroics in England. Shukri Conrad has, though, refreshed the squad with a group of youthful stars looking to push for a place in the starting XI. Independent Media's Zaahier Adams picks five players that will hope to impress in Bulawayo. Kwena Maphaka The teenage fast bowler enjoyed a Test debut earlier this season in the New Year Test against Pakistan at Newlands, and was considered unlucky not to be selected in the 15-man travelling squad for Lord's with Conrad opting for Lungi Ngidi's experience instead. But with regular new-ball bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen rested, and Ngidi unlikely to feature in the first Test, it is an ideal opportunity for the 19-year-old to show that he should indeed be part of the Proteas' future Test plans. Matthew Breetzke Conrad gambled on allrounder Wiaan Mulder at No 3 in the WTC Final, and while Mulder showed great temperament in the second innings at Lord's to build a partnership with centurion Aiden Markram, it is unlikely that 'Wessie' is the long-term solution at first-drop. In the absence of Markram, Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs, Breetzke has the ideal opportunity to stake a claim for a spot in the top-order. He will be keen to show he is a better player than the duck he scored on Test debut in Bangladesh.
