Coach Enze Postecoglou has been replaced. However, there was a shocking comment that internal discord eventually led to the replacement of the coach.
British public broadcaster 'BBC' made a comment on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) under the title of "Tottenham's Crack, which could not hide the UEFA Europa League (UEL)" looking at Postecoglou's replacement.
"After reviewing his performance and discussing in-depth, the club has dismissed Postecoglou. I deeply appreciate his dedication and efforts," Tottenham officially announced on its official website on Sunday.
On the reason for the dismissal, Tottenham explained, "We had to make the decision based on the future, not on emotions. Winning the UEL was one of the most brilliant moments in the club's history. However, we cannot decide the direction of the whole team by just one season of glory," adding, "We decided to dismiss him on the basis of poor performance in the Premier League."
Postecoglou defended himself by ranking fifth in the league last season. However, he had the worst performance in the Premier League this season. The extreme attack tactics Postecoglou had been pursuing have begun to be read by rival teams. Moreover, he suffered a series of injuries as he was burdened by players in the team. Eventually, he ranked 17th, just above the relegation zone.
Tottenham produced tremendous performances that could have shaken public opinion at the end of this season. Tottenham won the UEL final with Manchester United 1-0 and won the trophy at a major championship for the first time in 17 years. With Tottenham's victory at the semi-finals, public opinion toward Postecoglou has become polarized and even stronger.
Tottenham's choice was to be replaced. Chairman Daniel Levy decided to look ahead to the future rather than the immediate results. Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European soccer transfer market, said, "Tottenham has decided to replace Postecoglou. Chairman Daniel Levy himself made the decision."
Several local media have commented on Postecoglou, who was also dismissed for winning the UEL. However, the BBC speculated that Tottenham's internal conflict existed over Postecoglou's replacement.
"The day after the UEL finals, Tottenham made their way to central London even before the night before was over. There, players wildly enjoyed 'Freed From Desire' by waving white table napkins over their heads to the live performance of the saxophone player on site. But Postecoglou was not there," he claimed.
"From the outside, the relationship between Postecoglou and the squad seemed to be one of the strongest reasons to keep him in charge. But out of camera reach, the bond was cracking. Eventually, 16 days after his win in Bilbao, Postecoglou was dismissed after his 'normal second-year success.'"
It was only a few months ago that the relationship between the coach and the team started to deteriorate. "It seemed to show deep connection between the key players who showed up through interviews and SNS after the game with the coach's support," BBC said. "However, I could sense that Postecoglou is increasingly distancing himself from the team in recent months."
He continued, "In his early days as a manager, Postecoglou would have breakfast with the players for away games. Recently, however, he has even served a piece of toast with ham and cheese that the staff brings to his room. There were even times when they didn't appear anywhere in the hotel until noon on the away game day, 온라인카지노 and as a result, the players approached the coach directly and began to tell the coaching staff instead of the stories they would have originally told them," he said, pointing to rumors of discord with the team before the announcement of the dismissal.
