Tottenham dismissed Postecoglou on the club's website on the 7th (Korea time) after a performance evaluation and in-depth review' announced. Postecoglou will leave the team two seasons after taking the helm of Tottenham. He took over at Tottenham as Antonio Conte's replacement, and only half of his existing four-year contract was filled. The reason for the dismissal was by far the poor performance. He won the Europa League final and won his first trophy in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season, but was unable to make up for all his disastrous performances in the league. Tottenham are 17th in the league this season, falling to the brink of relegation. The club recorded the worst performance in the history of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season, saying 'The board unanimously concluded that changes were needed. '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.'"
Captain Son Heung-min also said goodbye directly to Postecoglou, who has been together for two years and even handed him a trophy. Son Heung-min said on his personal SNS, "'We did it your way, gave our team the best night in decades' 'We will cherish that memory for the rest of our lives. I was given the captain's job. It's one of the greatest honors of my career. Thanks to this, I became a better player and a better person. The coach said Tottenham is an eternal legend.
Brentford coach Thomas Frank is listed as the first candidate for the next manager to fill Postecoglou's vacancy. Tottenham immediately contacted Frank as soon as they were replaced. The British Telegraph reports that Frank is expected to be a strong candidate for Tottenham's next coach. Tottenham will likely have to pay a penalty of 10 million pounds (about 18.4 billion won)," he said. European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also said that Frank is eager to become Tottenham's new coach. Frank, who has led Brentford since 2018, is one of the competent managers who have succeeded in remaining in the first division along with the club's promotion to the EPL. He showed his ability to find players on a limited budget, and his tactical style was also well-received, finding the best way in a given squad. He is also a coach who recruited Korean national team defender Kim Ji-soo to Brentford. In addition, coaches active on the EPL stage, including Marco Silva (Fullum), Andoni Iraola (Bonmouth), and Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), are mentioned as candidates for Tottenham's next coach.
Postecoglou, who left Tottenham, is also drawing attention. The Telegraph of England said 'Postecoglou is already attracting the attention of several clubs' There is a possibility of staying in the EPL, but it is expected that he will be able to return to the J-League. Football365 in England is the next destination for Postecoglou, including Leeds and Everton. It was predicted that English clubs with the possibility of a manager change could be targeted. On the other hand, Japan's The World said there is a possibility of returning to the J-League and the Australian A-League. Postecoglou has led the j - league Yokohama Marinos and the a - league Brisbane Roar, Melbourne Victory and South Melbourne. However, no specific proposal has yet arrived for Postecoglou.
