Levy says Postecoglou sacking ‘no longer his resolution’, but it was the right one

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has spoken out for the first time since sacking Europa League winner Ange Postecoglou, insisting that ending Spurs’ 17-300 and sixty five days trophy drought was no longer adequate to interpret retaining him.

The Australian is currently waking up unemployed following Tottenham’s highly controversial resolution to provide him the boot after merely two seasons at the helm.

Postecoglou masterminded Tottenham’s bustle to a first honour since the 2007-08 EFL Cup, but Europa League success and a bid in the 2025-26 Champions League came at the expense of a historically unfortunate Premier League advertising campaign.

To boot as ending in a heart-broken 17th bid, Tottenham suffered no fewer than 22 defeats, the most for one aspect ever in a Premier League advertising campaign without being relegated.

Breaking his silence on Postecoglou’s sacking to Sky Sports activities Recordsdata, Levy outlined his ambitions to grab Tottenham to the pinnacle of the Premier League and Champions League, targets that he seemingly felt the Australian might per chance well no longer fulfil.

“You saw the outpouring of emotion with the parade. It was just incredible. We’ve won a European trophy,” he acknowledged. “But it’s not enough. It’s what we haven’t done that is more important. We need to win the league. We want to win the Premier League. We want to win the Champions League. We want to win.”

Levy: ‘I don’t regret Postecoglou appointment’

Levy committed to a lengthy-time-frame Postecoglou project when he hired the 59-300 and sixty five days-old in 2023, handing him a four-season contract and witnessing the ex-Celtic boss bring good, attacking football again to North London.

Then again, Frank has also been heralded for a ahead-thinking procedure as Brentford boss, and Levy believes that the “highly intelligent” Scandinavian will slot right in at Tottenham following Postecoglou’s exit, which he claimed was no longer fully his call.

“I don’t regret appointing Ange,” he added. “In his first season we finished fifth and in our second season we were over the moon to win the trophy. But we need to compete in all competitions and we felt that we needed a change. 

“It was a collective resolution. It wasn’t my resolution. We finish the total lot together. Emotionally it was complex but we imagine we now have made the right resolution for the club.

“One of the things that stood out to me with Thomas is that he’s clearly highly intelligent. Great communicator. Super human being. Plus all the other technical aspects that are obviously important.”

The gamers don’t love it, but Levy made the right call

Any prepare who cups the poisoned chalice at Tottenham deserves each commendation and sympathy, and no-one will hiss that the danger gods in total conspired in opposition to Postecoglou closing season.

Then again, by the time Spurs’ therapy room started to obvious out, merely prioritising Europa League glory was no excuse for their level of Premier League capitulation, though the connected actually goes for Manchester United too.

Had Leicester City, Ipswich City and Southampton no longer been in a league of their have – in the inappropriate sense – Tottenham would have confronted the precise prospect of relegation closing season; Levy is right when he publicizes that a trophy would no longer develop up for that.

The Spurs chairman is supposedly in anguish of a participant revolt after giving Postecoglou the boot, though, so even the charismatic and well-spoken Frank might per chance well bustle into some roadblocks getting the squad on his aspect over the summer.
