Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the departure of Head Coach Ange Postecoglou, despite his recent UEFA Europa League victory with the club. The decision follows an internal performance review and what the club described as “significant reflection.” Postecoglou, who joined from Celtic in the summer of 2023, exits after two seasons at the helm. His tenure was noted for reviving Spurs’ signature attacking style and was highlighted by last month’s historic Europa League triumph in Bilbao—the club’s first European trophy since winning the UEFA Cup in 1984. “Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw,” the club said in a statement. “This achievement will live with us all forever.” Despite that success, the club’s domestic form was a growing concern. After a promising start to the 2023/24 Premier League season, Spurs managed just 78 points from their last 66 league games—culminating in what the club described as their “worst-ever Premier League finish.” “At times there were extenuating circumstances—in particular injuries and the decision to prioritise our European campaign,” the statement continued. “Whilst winning the Europa League ranks as one of the Club’s greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph.” The Board unanimously agreed that a change was needed to “compete on multiple fronts” and “give us the best chance of success going forward.” “This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make,” the statement added. “It is not one we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude.” The club thanked Postecoglou for laying a solid foundation with its young squad, acknowledging his impact and wishing him the best for the future. “He will always be welcome back at our home,” it said. No replacement has been named, but the club confirmed that news on the appointment of a new head coach will be announced in due course.
