Ange Postecoglou SACKED by Tottenham despite finally ending Spurs' 17-year trophy drought with Europa League triumph
Etienne Fermie Anthony Chapman Published: Invalid Date, ANGE POSTECOGLOU has been sacked by Tottenham despite ending the club's 17-year trophy drought, it's understood. Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao to lift the Europa League last month - sparking incredible scenes, both at San Mames and back home at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 7 7 7 Postecoglou, 59, vowed after the match that he wanted to stay at Spurs, insisting his work was not "complete". Nevertheless, chairman Daniel Levy has decided to end the Aussie's reign, with the club's dire Premier League form costing Postecoglou his job. Tottenham finished the season with a 4-1 home defeat by Brighton that left them 17th in the table with 38 points - their worst in Prem history. They fell six points short of their previous worst points tally of 44 in 1997-98. Postecoglou's record in two years at Spurs reads 47 wins from 101 games, with a win percentage of 47 per cent. As SunSport reported Fabio Paratici is to return to Tottenham as managing director and will play a key role in finding the club's next manager. The Italian, 52, was the club's managing director of football between 2021 and 2023, before being forced to resign in April 2023 after being hit with a two-and-a-half-year worldwide ban by Fifa due to financial malpractice at previous club Juventus. Paratici is thought to be a fan of former Ajax boss Francesco Farioli.

Postecoglou's reign began amid a wave of optimism in North London. Tottenham fans PARTY through the night in Bilbao after Europa League triumph He arrived at Tottenham in June 2023, having been poached from Celtic where he won back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles. Postecoglou had initially appeared to be a breath of fresh air following the miserable reigns of Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte. His tenure began in style as Tottenham made the club's best-ever start to a Premier League season. 7 7 Spurs won eight and drew two of their first ten Premier League games despite the exit of club icon and record scorer Harry Kane on the eve of Postecoglou's first match in charge. They were top of the table until a crazy 4-1 home defeat by Chelsea and a slew of injuries in late October triggered a steady decline in form. Tottenham finished fifth following a dismal end to the campaign, but many fans still felt optimistic about Postecoglou's tenure. However, Spurs struggled with a long list of injuries this season and despite a landmark 4-0 win over champions Man City at the Etihad in November, they were frustratingly fragile domestically. Following the City thrashing, Spurs won just one Premier League game in the next 71 days - and that was against Southampton - before eventually ending their barren run at Brentford in January. 'QUE SERA, SERA' Postecoglou pleaded for patience amid a heavy injury crisis across the winter months. And with his first choice defence and front line restored, he was able to guide Spurs to Europa League glory. Following the final, Postecoglou said: "I would be disappointed if we don't continue on this path. "It is difficult to buy into one person's vision. I have been a serial winner. "I know people dismiss what I have won because it didn't happen here, but they were hard earned. Coming third was not going to change this football club, winning a trophy would, that was my ambition and I was prepared to wear it if it did not happen." Ange Postecoglou "There is huge relief. You carry the weight of responsibility and 150 times I have been a spokesman for this club. "There are no planned meetings. I'll go back to my hotel room with friends and family, open up a nice bottle of scotch, a massive parade on Friday, game on Sunday against Brighton and then holiday. Then que sera, sera." Postecoglou added: "I know our league form has been unacceptable. "But coming third was not going to change this football club, winning a trophy would, that was my ambition and I was prepared to wear it if it did not happen. "People kept reminding me of it because we were getting closer but I'm happy with that."

Liverpool assistant departs the club after their Premier League triumph to become head coach of Dutch giants Ajax
A Liverpool coach has departed the club after accepting the vacant head coach position at Dutch side Ajax. In his first season on Merseyside Arne Slot led the Reds to their first Premier League title since 2020. In doing so the club have now drawn level with bitter rivals Manchester United for the most successful English team in league history, with both sides having lifted the title 20 times. Slot has wasted little time looking towards the defence of Liverpool's title, with the club now frontrunners to sign Florian Wirtz this summer and with Jeremie Frimpong arriving from Leverkusen. However, one Dutchman who will have no involvement for the Reds in 2025-26 is former assistant boss John Heitinga after he agreed to become manager of Ajax. The former Everton defender arrived at Anfield last summer and has served as Slot's No 2 throughout their Premier League-winning campaign. However, the 41-year-old will now return to Amsterdam for the fourth time, having enjoyed two spells at the club as a player and a brief stint in charge of the senior side in 2023. Heitinga has agreed a two-year contract and replaces Francesco Farioli, who departed the club after a single season in charge. The former defender will be joined in the dugout by fellow Ajax academy graduate Marcel Keizer. 'John is a good coach with enormous drive,' said Ajax technical director Alex Kroes. 'He is ambitious and has further developed himself over the past few years in the Premier League and Champions League. 'John knows the club well and we are convinced that he, together with Marcel, will help improve our players and build on the progress made since last summer.' The most successful club in the history of Dutch football, Ajax have not won an Eredivisie title since Erik ten Hag led the club to victory in 2022.
