In the early morning of June 7, the Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur Club officially announced that after examining the performance and in-depth reflection, the club decided to fire 59-year-old coach Postkoglu. Tottenham Hotspur’s official thanks Postkoglu and wishes him all the best in the future and he will always be a guest of honor in the club.

It is reported that Tottenham needs to pay a 4 million pounds termination fee to Postkoglu. In addition, since winning the UEFA Cup and qualifying for the Champions League next season, Tottenham needs to pay it a 2 million pounds prize.

In the summer of 2023, Postkoglu began to serve as Tottenham head coach, and the contracts between the two sides did not expire until the summer of 2027. In his first season, Postkoglu helped Tottenham win fifth place in the Premier League. But in the past 2024-25 season, Tottenham Hotspur's record in the Premier League was quite poor. 11 wins, 5 draws, 22 losses and 38 points, ranking 17th to the worst ranking in the Premier League in team history.

However, in the UEFA Cup, Postkoglu eventually led Tottenham to defeat Manchester United in the UEFA Cup final, breaking the team's 17-year championship drought, which is also Tottenham's first European trophy in the past 41 years.

But considering that he led the team in the league, Tottenham finally decided to fire Postkoglu just half a month after leading the team to the UEFA Cup championship. Postkoglu's experience reminds people of the tragic past when Mourinho was fired by Tottenham before the start of the League Cup final.

It is reported that Brentford coach Frank is the main candidate to replace Obo. Frank, 51, has led the "Little Bees" to rank 10th in the Premier League this season. Tottenham is expected to make a decision on the new head coach next week.
