Tottenham have sacked head coach Ange Postecoglou despite winning the Europa League to end the club's 17-year trophy drought, according to Sky Sports.

Postecoglou's dismissal - described as a "unanimous decision" by the Spurs board - comes 16 days after he guided Spurs to a 1-0 Europa League final win over Manchester United to claim their first European trophy in 41 years.

But glory in Bilbao, which saw Spurs qualify for next season's Champions League, came after Postecoglou presided over the club's worst-ever Premier League campaign.

Tottenham finished a dismal 17th after suffering 22 defeats to record their lowest-ever Premier League points tally of 38.

Spurs said in a statement that although he will be remembered for delivering "one of the club's greatest moments", they could not base their decision on "emotions aligned to this triumph" and a "review of performances" has led to the change.

There were also concerns over the squad's injury record over the last two years, with key players Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Guiglielmo Vicario, and more all having multiple spells on the sidelines.

Losing 22 of their 38 Premier League games last season - their worst Premier League record - also contributed to his sacking.

In a statement released shortly after his sacking, Postecoglou said his overriding emotion is pride, while he believed he "accomplished what many said was not possible" by winning the Europa League.

The 59-year-old departs after two seasons in charge, halfway through his four-year contract.

His sacking comes exactly two years after his appointment, having joined from Celtic on June 6, 2023.

Postecoglou's departure means Spurs are searching for their fifth permanent manager in six years since Mauricio Pochettino left in 2019.

A club statement said: "We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw.”
