Coach Angie Postecoglou, who was dismissed after winning the title for the first time in 17 years at Tottenham, negotiated for a job in a week.
A series of media, including The Athletic, reported on the 15th (Korea time) that Postecoglou is in negotiations to return to the head coach.
Tottenham announced its breakup with Postecoglou on the 6th. Australian coach Postecoglou, who spent two seasons with Tottenham after taking office in July 2023, kept his professional second-year championship promise. He beat Manchester United in the Europa League final and lifted the trophy for the first time in 17 years, confirming his return to the European Champions League. However, the Premier League's slump has been hampered. He finished 17th in the league with a record 22 losses. Speaking to fans at the celebration parade, Postecoglou said `All the best drama series in the world are better in season three than season two,' but Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy relentlessly fired him and decided to sign Brentford manager Thomas Frank. However, as expected, Postecoglou's attractive attacking style and absolute ability to bring trophies are in the hot interest of many clubs around the world, and one quick club has already engaged in active contact

The Athletic reported that `Saudi professional league's Al Ahli is currently considering whether to replace coach Matthias Jaisle, and has contacted Postecoglou.' Jaisle, a young German coach, led Al Ahli, one of four Saudi clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), to the Asian Champions League title last season. However, it is known that Jaisle, who has a year left on his contract, has rejected the offer to extend his contract amid the possibility of returning to Europe after receiving love calls from West Ham and Leipzig. In this atmosphere, news of the progress of negotiations with Postecoglou is being heard. Coach Xavi, who has been unemployed for more than a year since leaving Barcelona, is also on the list of candidates. If Al-Ahli takes the helm, he will work with a squad that includes a large number of former Premier League stars such as Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and England striker Ivan Toney. Postecoglou is a native of Australia and led the Asian Cup as an Australian national team coach, and Yokohama Marinos of Japan's J-League has three years of experience leading the championship, so he is familiar with the Asian regional coach position. This is why rumors of a return to the J-League have been circulated.
Meanwhile, Brentford, who sent Frank to Tottenham, is also in the midst of a search for a replacement. Frank's coach, Justin Cochrane, was about to be appointed head coach, but he chose to go to Tottenham with Frank.
Amid the possibility of internal promotion, Keith Andrews has emerged as a new leading candidate, while Ipswich coach Kieran McKenna and Postecoglou have also reportedly been listed as leading candidates.
