Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Tottenham following a disappointing domestic campaign

Tottenham have finally relieved Ange Postecoglou from his duties. The Australian’s future at N17 was hanging in the balance for quite some time now, and the club decided to part ways on Friday following a ‘review of performances.’ Many fans and pundits thought that the North London club turned a new page when they ended their long-standing trophy drought last month by winning the Europa League.

However, the club’s hierarchy is still making the same mistakes each year and they hit a new low on Friday. If the decision is based only on the Premier League results, then it might have been the right decision as the Lilywhites finished just a place above the relegation zone. But winning trophies is the only thing that matters in football… and Big Ange managed to do just that at N17 this year.

The ex-Celtic boss had promised the fans earlier in the season that he always won a trophy in his second season at a club. It is fair to say that he walked the talk and delivered on that promise in spectacular fashion. The North London club exceeded all expectations and won the Europa League, ensuring Champions League qualification along with it.

Huge problems ahead for Tottenham as players are unhappy with the sack news

Well, it is fair to say that the decision of sacking Ange Postecoglou has not gone down well with the fans and the players. Some players have taken to social media to thank Big Ange for his contributions to the club and there is a social media revolt against Daniel Levy amongst fans. The departure of the Australian tactician has dampened the mood around N17 just two weeks after the club won the Europa League.

As per The Telegraph, Tottenham players are ‘unhappy’ with the sack news and there is a possibility that the dressing room might revolt against Daniel Levy. It is also believed that some players might want to leave the club following Big Ange’s departure. The aforementioned report also suggests that the Australian kept the dressing room together when the media was scrutinising the players week in week out.

Many players had publicly backed Ange Postecoglou to turn the fortunes around at the club following the Europa League success. The ex-Celtic boss was also keen to continue at the club and made it clear during the trophy parade that ‘season three’ would be better than the previous two seasons. However, Daniel Levy thought otherwise and killed off the main character before season three even began.

One can only feel sorry for the new manager that will takeover the reigns at N17. It was reported earlier that Brentford boss Thomas Frank is the leading candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou. Frank will have a huge task of getting the fans and the players back on board before the start of the new season. And Daniel Levy will also hope that the decision to appoint a new manager works out well as Spurs look to start a new era at Hotspur Way.
