Former Manchester United striker, Teddy Sheringham, has questioned Tottenham Hotspur’s decision to part ways with Head Coach Ange Postecoglou, describing the move as puzzling despite the club’s league struggles.
Postecoglou led Spurs to success in the UEFA Europa League, but was dismissed after the team finished 17th in the Premier League during the 2024/25 season, with fears of relegation playing a role in the decision.
In an interview with Tribal Football, Sheringham suggested that injuries to key defenders significantly affected Tottenham’s domestic form, arguing the manager should have been given more time.
“Ange Postecoglou must still be sitting at home thinking, ‘how did I lose my Tottenham job?’ I mean, he told everyone he was going to win something in two years, and he did,” Sheringham said.
“They (Tottenham) haven’t won something for a long, long time so when he’s won the club a trophy, he’s somehow lost his job. Why is he still not in charge?
“I understand the league position last season wasn’t great, but he put all his eggs in one basket to win something, because he wanted to win something. We all want to win something. I’m still mystified on that decision to replace him to this day.
“It would be very interesting to see where we would be if he had stayed, that’s for sure. I’m not saying that Spurs should go back to him, not now anyway, but we’ll never know.”
