Tottenham officially announces coach Postkoglu leaves office, Europa League champion coach bids farewell to Premier League

On June 7, the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur Club issued an official statement, officially announcing the removal of head coach Ang Postkoglu. The 59-year-old Australian coach left office after coaching the team for two seasons, even though he had just led the team to the UEFA Cup, ending the club's years-long championship drought.

Postkoglu transferred from the Celtics in the Scottish Premier League to Tottenham in the summer of 2023, and his original contract was last until 2027. In his first season in coaching, he successfully injected the team with the vitality of offensive football. However, in the 2024-25 Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur only achieved a bleak record of 11 wins, 5 draws and 22 losses, and finally ranked 17th, setting the worst record in the club's Premier League era.

Club specifically emphasized the importance of winning the UEFA Cup in the announcement: "The victory in Bilbao last month wrote a new chapter in club history, and Postkoglu will become the third coach to lead Tottenham to win the European trophy after Bill Nicholson and Keith Berkinshaw. "But the board also pointed out that the performance of winning only 78 points in the past 66 Premier League games is unacceptable.

Tottenham Hotspur official said that this decision was a difficult choice made after "in-depth reflection": "Although there are objective factors such as injury and European priorities, we must remain competitive on multiple fronts. We believe that making changes at this time will provide the club with the best chance of success in the future. "

Postkoglu said in his departure statement that he was deeply proud of his time in coaching Tottenham, especially the UEFA Champions League victory will become the most precious memory of his career. The club confirmed that the new coach will be announced in a timely manner, and emphasized that the existing lineup has laid a good foundation and created conditions for future reconstruction.

The decision to change coaches has sparked widespread discussion in English football. Public opinion generally believes that although winning the European Championship is worth celebrating, the 17th place in the league is indeed unacceptable, which also reflects the increasingly fierce competition in the Premier League.
