Tottenham Hotspur officially announced: Postkoglu is dismissed and the Europa League champion becomes the best singer

Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur officially announced that 59-year-old Australian coach Post Koglu was officially dismissed. The meritorious coach who led the team to win the UEFA Cup last month finally terminated his contract with the club three years in advance due to poor league record.

Postkoglu joined Tottenham from the Celtics in the summer of 2023, leading the team to regain the offensive football style in his first season. However, the team's performance in the Premier League declined sharply in the 2024-25 season, with only 11 wins, 5 draws and 22 losses in 38 rounds of the league, and finally ranked 17th, setting the worst ranking in the club's Premier League era. Although he passed the UEFA Cup and defeated his opponent in the finals to win the championship, the continued sluggish league ultimately led to the board of directors' decision to change coaches.

In the official statement, Tottenham Hotspur highly affirmed Postkoglu's contribution: "He led the team to recreate the club's traditional offensive football, and wrote a new chapter in club history through the UEFA Cup championship. " The Australian coach also became the third coach in the club's history to win the European Championship after Bill Nicholson and Keith Berkinshaw.

However, the statement also clearly stated: "Although winning the UEFA Cup is one of the club's greatest moments, the board of directors unanimously believes that changes are in the club's best interests. " Data shows that after the outstanding performance in the 2023-24 Premier League opening stage, Tottenham Hotspur only scored 78 points in the subsequent 66 Premier League games, such a persistent downturn made it difficult for the management to accept.

Postkoglu said emotionally in his departure statement: "I feel extremely proud of my time in coaching Tottenham, especially the night in Bilbao last month will be forever engraved in my memory. I want to thank the players, staff and fans for their support. "

It is reported that Tottenham has begun to find a new head coach. The club emphasizes that there are many talented young players in the current lineup, which has laid a good foundation for the successor. Postkoglu's next stop has also attracted attention, and it is reported that many Premier League clubs have extended olive branches to it.

This decision to change coaches highlights the cruel reality of modern football: even if you win the European trophy, league results are still the most important criterion for measuring the success or failure of the coach. With the increasing competition in the Premier League, Tottenham's senior executives clearly believe that the league's decline must be reversed by changing coaches in order to maintain competitiveness in multi-line battles next season.
