Postecoglou took over at Tottenham in the 2023-2024 season and led Son Heung-min for two seasons as his teacher. In the 2024-2025 season, he suffered a severe slump in 17th place in the league, but he led Tottenham to the Europa League title and cut off Tottenham's long-standing relationship. Son Heung-min also lifted his first professional championship trophy under Postecoglou's system to relieve his sorrow. He was a coach who had been mainly active on the Asian stage in the past, but won trophies in succession at Celtic and Tottenham, and was recognized for his competitiveness on the European stage.
However, he did not continue his career at Tottenham. Tottenham replaced Postecoglou for a 17th-place finish in the league and brought in a new Thomas Frank. Postecoglou, who has lost his job as manager, is looking for a new club. It is known that he wants to be appointed to the European club.

One of the clubs Postecoglou wanted was Leverkusen. Leverkusen, one of the strong teams in the Bundesliga, even beat Bayern Munich in the 2023-2024 season to achieve its first unbeaten Bundesliga championship. However, I was going through a difficult time recently. Coach Xavi Alonso, who was leading the team this summer, left for Real Madrid. The newly appointed coach was Erik tenhach, and Tenhach, who showed poor performance during his time at Manchester United, did not show a different performance at Leverkusen.
In addition to Tenhach's poor performance, the situation worsened due to a large number of players leaving, and in the end, the team's leaders decided to dismiss Tenhach after three games. Leverkusen, whose manager's position was vacant, immediately looked for a new coach. Along with Postecoglou, several directors, including Raul, are reportedly being discussed. However, despite Postecoglou's counteroffer, Leverkusen has shown no interest and Postecoglou's job search has continued.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, will again focus on the season, appointing Kasper Hiulman, who previously led Mainz and Denmark's national teams, as its new coach.
