Enze Postecoglou's dismissal continues.
Tottenham dismissed Postecoglou on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) 'After a performance evaluation and in-depth review' is officially announced. The board then unanimously concluded that changes were needed. He started positively in the early stages of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season, but only gained 78 points in 66 recent EPL games. It recorded the worst performance in EPL history in the 2024-2025 season. 'Winning the Europa League is one of the club's greatest moments, but I couldn't make a decision that I was only into winning it.'"
Finally, in the upcoming season, we should be able to compete at the top of the list in more moments through change. It's one of the most difficult decisions we've ever made. I believe it is the best decision for future success. I wish for the future of Postecoglou,' he added.
Tottenham and Postecoglou were expected to break up. Many media expected Postecoglou to be replaced, as Postecoglou, who was on vacation with his family, told Australian media that `I didn't want to just enjoy the moment of victory. I wanted to make you think about what to do next. You should not be complacent now. Now I've got a taste of winning. Then we need to make sure that we come back here again," he stressed.

Then "When we wrote the first Australian story 10 years ago, you probably thought it was the pinnacle of what I was trying to achieve. Ten years later, I have no doubt that there will be more stories to come if we sit down again." Postecoglou led the Australian national team to the Asian Cup in 2015.
But the seven-day clock got faster. Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, also said on his personal SNS, `It's not easy. Tottenham replaced Postecoglou. Chairman Daniel Levy made the decision. In the end, Postecoglou, who took the helm of Tottenham in the summer of 2023, will leave the team after two seasons.
The cause is poor grades as well. Tottenham had the worst performance in the league this season. It was ranked 17th in the EPL, the lowest ranking since 1977. He lost 22 games and allowed 65 runs. It showed the worst performance, with a winning rate of 40.79%. Both the FA Cup and the League Cup were eliminated.
The last twist came out. Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao, Spain, on the 24th of last month to win the Europa League in the 2024-2025 season. Tottenham kissed the trophy for the first time in 17 years since reaching the top of the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. In the case of the European match, it was the first joy in 41 years since winning the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League in the 1983-1984 season.

But Tottenham's choice was to be replaced. There was a problem in this process. The team protested the club's decision. The Telegraph reported on the 7th that Postecoglou's replacement sparked backlash from a number of Tottenham players. Some players want to leave the club. The players are very angry at the club's way of handling things. In fact, according to reports in the Telegraph, Postecoglou was informed of his dismissal in a surprise move after receiving no explanation for his future for two weeks.
Vice-captain James Medicine and Pedro Porro have expressed their support for Postecoglou. Son Heung-min also said, `This victory was led by Postecoglou.' However, contrary to this atmosphere, Tottenham fell into a frenzy as the club chose to be replaced. In fact, Son Heung-min is connected to Saudi Arabia and Christian Romero to Atletico Madrid.
Tottenham are facing the appointment of Thomas Frank, who opened a successful era at Brentford. Coach Frank has led Brentford since 2018, making him a team that can seek promotion to the EPL and stay in the first division as well as advance to the European match. In particular, he was recognized for his ability to find players in Brentford, which has a limited budget, and his tactical style is also well regarded as a coach who finds the best way. Tottenham are speeding up their appointment.

Against this backdrop, there were calls for Australia to reconsider the replacement of Postecoglou. Melbourne Mayor Nicholas Reese issued a statement of support for Postecoglou on his social media. Postecoglou is from Melbourne. Mayor Reece urges Tottenham to reconsider its decision to dismiss Postecoglou on behalf of Melbourne citizens and EPL fans around the world. Never underestimate Postecoglou's determination to win and his ability to lead the team to greatness. We have seen one more time this time through Postecoglou's career. This year, Tottenham made history by winning the Europa League trophy for the first time in 17 years. If Postecoglou gets a chance, he could see more trophies. Don't let Tottenham be known as a team allergic to winning.
