Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed from Tottenham, delivered a thank you message.
Tottenham announced Postecoglou's dismissal on its official website on the 7th. Tottenham explained, "We announce that Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties. Winning the Europa League this season was one of the greatest moments, but we cannot make decisions based on emotions. We wish him the best for his future."
Daniel Levy, the chairman, made the decision. Levy was reportedly in the Bahamas, meeting with members of the Lewis family, the largest shareholders of Tottenham, and received permission to dismiss Postecoglou. Afterward, Levy made a unilateral decision.
Many players, including Son Heung-min, were unsettled. Son Heung-min said, "I'm grateful that the coach always believed in me as a captain. Being a captain at Tottenham was the greatest moment of my life," and blessed the future of POSTECH.
POSTECH also expressed gratitude to the players. Yves Bissouma revealed text messages exchanged with the POSTECH coach.
Here, POSTECH replied, "I'm sorry for not being able to take your call. Thank you for believing in what I am trying to achieve. I wish you the best for your future with love."
Bissouma said, "Thank you for believing in me both on and off the field. I already miss you. I hope God blesses your future."
Other players also expressed their regret. Pedro Porro said, "The POSTECH coach created the most magnificent moments in Tottenham's history. He helped and believed in me during my hardest times," expressing his disappointment.
