[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM Reporter] Thomas Tuchel, England's national team coach, expressed regret over the replacement of Enzi Postecoglou.
Tottenham officially announced the replacement of Postecoglou on Friday evening (local time). The club explained why it made the decision, saying it was the "worst performance in Premier League history." In the 2024-2025 season, Tottenham barely survived just above the relegation zone, finishing 17th in the league. Although Postecoglou led Tottenham to a Europa League victory, he could not avoid being replaced.
England's national team is set for a warm-up match against Andorra on Saturday, and not a single Tottenham player is included in the call-up list. In an official press conference before the game, Tuchel was asked for his opinion on the replacement of Postecoglou. He said "That's the job. I have been through the same situation, so I deeply sympathize with Postecoglou. It must be a terrible feeling." Coach Tuchel then said "This is not just a matter of winning a trophy or not. You can survive without trophies. But when trust starts to crumble, even if you win, that's sometimes not enough." He said "Postecoglou is a great man, he promised to bring the trophy and he actually did it. However, the position of manager is ultimately responsible for the outcome and the development of the team. Whether we like it or not..."
Tuchel has also experienced sudden replacement in Bayern Munich and Chelsea in the past. Tottenham are currently selecting candidates for the next head coach, including Brentford manager Thomas Frank, and official moves are expected soon.
