News of coach Ange Postecoglou's dismissal has emerged ahead of the Europa League final.

But many fans believe that Tottenham's board of directors "turned the tables" when coach Postecoglou helped the team defeat Man United in the final to win the Europa League. This is the first major title in 17 years for the "London rooster".

Over the past two weeks, many Tottenham players have also spoken out to defend coach Postecoglou. Experts believe that the Australian coach deserves another chance after helping Tottenham win the Europa League and a ticket to the Champions League.

The decision would have been brutal. However, two weeks after the final in Bilbao, Tottenham announced the sacking of coach Postecoglou.

In the farewell announcement of the Australian strategist, Tottenham Club affirmed: "The team's leadership unanimously believes that this change (firing the head coach) will bring many benefits to the team."

Mr. Postecoglou (59 years old) is the fourth coach of Tottenham since 2019, after the time of Mauricio Pochettino. Coach Postecoglou was appointed as Tottenham captain 2 seasons ago.

The strategist had a good start with Tottenham but then the "rooster" from London played poorly. This season, Tottenham ranked 17th in the Premier League with 38 points.

Many believe Tottenham's decline is due to Postecoglou's tactics, but the Australian insists that a succession of injuries to key players is a big part of the problem.

According to Reuters, coaches Thomas Frank (Brentford) and Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) are candidates for the hot seat at Tottenham.
