Club News | Postecoglou not long after taking over at Spurs

Spurs secured their first major trophy in 17 years with a 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao, but the triumph came at the end of a dismal domestic campaign.

Despite their European success, Tottenham endured their worst Premier League season to date, finishing 17th after losing 22 of their 38 matches.

The Australian had said to fans that "season three is better than season two" as they gathered together  at a victory parade to mark that Europa League triumph.

Despite that, the 59-year-old’s spell in north London came to an end exactly two years after Tottenham confirmed his arrival from Celtic on a four-year deal.

Spurs said Postecoglou would be remembered for delivering “one of the club’s greatest moments”, becoming only the third manager in their history to win a European trophy.

However, they added that their decision could not be based on the emotion of that triumph alone.

What comes next?

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has emerged as a frontrunner to succeed Postecoglou, while Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, Fulham’s Marco Silva, Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner and former Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino, now in charge of the United States, have also been linked.

It has reported that the Brentford has a good relationship with the Spurs technical director and fellow Dane Johan Lange. This could be a deciding factor when club chairman Daniel Levy decides who to appoint.

Brentford finished 10th in the Premier League this season, seven places and 18 points above Spurs. Despite their lack of a major trophy, they also appear to be much of a stable club. Their progress from Championship to to the top half of the Premier League would mean the move is a risk for Frank.

This is the place for all the latest news from the Europa League final It's Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur. Who will save their season? Authors - Olivia T and Greg S Full-time | Manchester United 0 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur  Tottenham ended a 17-year trophy drought as Brennan Johnson's first-half goal secured a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final.  The result delivers on Ange Postecoglou’s promise of silverware in his second season.  In contrast, United’s defeat compounds pressure on Ruben Amorim, whose side face Aston Villa in their final league game after a dismal campaign. Despite support from the club's hierarchy, Amorim's tactical choices are under scrutiny, particularly the decision to start Mason Mount over Alejandro Garnacho. With Bruno Fernandes largely anonymous, United offered little creativity and never looked likely to recover once they fell behind.

A pivotal summer begins for Manchester United Manchester United enter the summer on the back of a bruising Europa League final defeat and one of their worst-ever Premier League campaigns.  Author | Liam C Under new head coach Rúben Amorim, the club faces a defining transfer window, one that could shape their trajectory for the next few years. Maybe even the next decade. Amorim has not shied away from speaking plainly about the scale of the task ahead. United are in urgent need of a reset, and this time, they cannot afford missteps. If the Portuguese coach is to succeed with his preferred 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 formation, the club must fully support him in the market. So where should they begin? Signing Matheus Cunha would be a strong statement of intent. The Brazilian forward was Wolverhampton Wanderers’ standout performer last season, combining work rate with end product. More importantly, he could help solve United’s long-standing attacking problems. United have struggled for goals a...
