Tottenham Hotspur has sacked their manager Ange Postecoglou on Friday, only 16 days after he led the club to a Europa League victory.
The Australian coach brought Tottenham their first European trophy in 41 years by defeating Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao.
This win also secured the team a spot in the upcoming Champions League season.
Despite this success in Europe, Tottenham struggled badly in the English Premier League.
They lost 22 out of 38 league matches, finishing 17th in the table, narrowly avoiding relegation.
This was their worst domestic performance since the 1976-77 season when the club was relegated from the top division.
The club’s chairman, Daniel Levy, made the decision to part ways with Postecoglou after a thorough review of the team’s overall results.
Tottenham’s statement explained that although winning the Europa League was one of the biggest moments in the club’s history, the poor league form could not be ignored.
Postecoglou, who joined Tottenham from Celtic two years ago, leaves behind a mixed legacy of European glory but disappointing league form.
The club plans to move forward with a new manager to improve their standing in the Premier League and maintain their position in European competitions.
