Tottenham Hotspur's Leadership Change: Daniel Levy Discusses Postecoglou's Departure

Tottenham Hotspur's Decision on Ange Postecoglou

On June 6, 2025, Tottenham Hotspur FC's board collectively decided to part ways with manager Ange Postecoglou. This decision was not driven by aspirations for the Europa League, as clarified by Daniel Levy, who stated that winning the UEFA Europa League was not feasible. Levy emphasized that failure was not an option and expressed a desire to pursue the Premier League title, a trophy that has eluded Tottenham since 1961.

Levy's Reflections on the Season

Following Tottenham's victory over Manchester United in Bilbao, Levy remarked on the emotional response from fans, stating, 'We’ve won a European trophy.' However, he quickly added that this achievement was insufficient, highlighting the need to secure the league title and compete for the Champions League. 'I have broad shoulders. Failure is not an option,' he asserted, expressing his determination to succeed.

Levy expressed gratitude towards Postecoglou, noting that the team finished fifth in his first season and celebrated a trophy win in the second. Despite this success, he acknowledged the need for change to remain competitive across all tournaments.

He praised Thomas Frank, citing his intelligence and communication skills as key attributes, and emphasized the importance of fresh ideas that come with a new coach.
