Sacking Postecoglou Was 'Emotionally Difficult' but Needed, Says Tottenham Chairman Levy
- Tottenham Hotspur sacked manager Ange Postecoglou in June 2025, shortly after winning the Europa League final 1-0 against Manchester United in May.
- The club made this decision because Postecoglou's team finished 17th in the Premier League, its worst position since 1976-77, prompting a unanimous need for change.
- Tottenham appointed Thomas Frank, who previously managed Brentford, as Postecoglou’s replacement following a comprehensive selection process that considered more than 30 candidates, with Frank being chosen for his intelligence and strong technical abilities.
- Chairman Daniel Levy stressed the importance of success and made it clear that simply winning the Europa League is insufficient, as the club's ultimate goal remains securing the Premier League title.
- Levy reflected that the dismissal was "emotionally difficult" but necessary to build on recent success and compete across all competitions with fresh ideas.
