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.

Ex-Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has warned summer signing Florian Wirtz about meeting expectations at the Premier League champions.

The £116m that the Reds will pay Bayer Leverkusen for the 22-year-old, makes him the most expensive British player.

And Klopp fears that the price tag will put a target on Wirtz’s back.

He however hailed Wirtz as an “outstanding player”, while stating that the playmaker will be “aware” of his substantial fee.

“There’s no question about it, it’s an insane sum, and one that a player at Liverpool is aware of if things don’t go well for two or three games,” Klopp told Welt.

“He’s an outstanding player who can give any club something great.

“Whether he’ll make the reigning English champions even better remains to be seen.”
