Ange Postecoglou has released a statement after Tottenham Hotspur sacked him as manager of the club.

Ekwutosblog reports that the Premier League club had on Friday evening sacked Postecoglou.

In a statement on their website, Tottenham wished the 59-year-old all the best in the future.

However, Postecoglou has now released a statement following his exit from the club as he thanked those who supported him during his time at the club.

Recall that Postecoglou joined Tottenham from Scottish club Celtic on a four-year deal.

“When I reflect on my time as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur my overriding emotion is one of pride,” Postecoglou’s statement partly read.

“The opportunity to lead one of England’s historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime.

“That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream.

“We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 7 more years for their next success.

“I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years. A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club.”

Postecoglou recently led Tottenham to win the Europa League final in May.

Recall that a 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao brought Tottenham a first major trophy for 17 years.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
