Tottenham Hotspur’s shocking changes: The coach is dismissed after winning the championship, the hidden worries behind glory

1:34pm, 3 June 2025【Football】

Just when Tottenham fans were still immersed in the carnival of winning the Europa League, a heavy news broke out like a thunder on the ground, instantly shattering all the joy - according to the exclusive report of British media football insider, Tottenham's senior executives have made up their minds to fire coach Postkoglu, even though he just led the team to win the UEFA Champions League trophy that had been away for 17 years. This decision came too suddenly, which made the entire football world dumbfounded. Everyone speculated about what exactly caused Tottenham to make such a decisive move after winning the championship?

Retrospectively, Postkoglu was very passionate when he first took the Tottenham Hotspur coaching point. He brought a brand new tactical concept, held high the offensive banner, encouraged players to boldly control the ball and actively press forward, and tried to create a team with fierce offensive firepower for Tottenham. This style did have miraculous effects at the beginning of the season. Tottenham's game scene was smooth and full of viewing, which allowed fans to see the dawn of the team's revival for a while. They performed amazingly in the opening stage of the Premier League, defeating strong enemies one after another, and their rankings in the standings soared. Postkoglu also won the honor of the best coach of the month with his outstanding team-leading results.

But the changes in the football field are always unexpected. As the season deepens, Tottenham’s problems are gradually exposed. Although the offensive end is still sharp, defense has become the team's fatal weakness. Frequent mistakes on the defense line have caused the team to lose points in vain in many games. Postkoglu seems to have never found an effective solution to the construction of the defensive system, and the team's goals conceded remain high. In a highly competitive league like the Premier League, the weakness of defense is undoubtedly a time bomb.

Entering the second half of the season, Tottenham's record is even more ups and downs like a roller coaster. Sometimes they can defeat strong enemies in strong dialogues, which is exciting; sometimes they can capsize the gutter when facing mid- and downstream teams, which is surprising. Such unstable performance has gradually reduced Tottenham's ranking in the Premier League standings, and finally ranked only 17th, creating one of the worst season rankings in the team's history. The 22-game loss and the data of losing 65 goals hurt the hearts of Tottenham Hotspur executives and fans. Although Postkoglu has been constantly adjusting tactically, the team's performance has never been as expected, which has also brought more and more doubts to his coaching ability.

In contrast, Tottenham's performance in the UEFA Cup is amazing. During the knockout stage, they encountered several European powerhouses, but Postkoglu cleverly arranged troops, which inspired the players' fighting spirit. The players united on the court, tried their best in every game, and finally won the UEFA Champions League trophy. This trophy not only ended Tottenham's 17-year championship drought, but also allowed the team to qualify for the Champions League next season. At the moment of winning the championship, Tottenham fans fell into madness, thinking that the team had ushered in a new glorious era.

However, the idea of ​​Tottenham's senior executives is obviously different from that of fans. In their opinion, the UEFA Cup championship is important, but the results of the Premier League are the key indicators for measuring the team's strength and coaching ability. Postkoglu's poor performance in the Premier League has seriously affected the team's image and future development. Although he led the team to the Europa League, this did not hide the defeat in the league. Senior executives believe that the team needs a coach who can achieve stable results in the Premier League, leading the team back to the top four and even competing for the Premier League championship.

For Postkogru himself, this news was undoubtedly a heavy blow. He devoted a lot of effort to Tottenham and was determined to build a champion team of his own style. In the interview after winning the championship, he also expressed with great anticipation that he felt that his work had not been completed yet and hoped to continue to stay with the team and lead the team to achieve greater achievements. His coaching philosophy has been recognized by some players. Johnson, the goal-scoring hero, once said that the coach said he would win the trophy in the second year, and he did it. Everyone is very grateful for his trust and motivation. But now, everything has become a bubble and he has to leave Tottenham where he is fighting for.

With the dismissal of Postkoglu, Tottenham's future is full of uncertainty. Finding a new coach has become the top priority for the team. It is understood that Tottenham has set its sights on the head coaches of several Premier League teams. Frank of Brentford, Silva of Fulham and Elaura of Bournemouth all became potential successors. These coaches have rich coaching experience in the Premier League and have achieved good results. Whether they can adapt to Tottenham's tactical system and team culture and lead the team out of the predicament will take time to test.

This incident has also triggered widespread discussion in football. Some people think that the decision of Tottenham's senior executives is too ruthless. Postkoglu fired the team just as soon as he brought the championship, which is really a way to kill the donkey. Some people understand the difficulties of the senior executives. The competition in the Premier League is too fierce, and the team needs to remain competitive in all competitions, while Postkoglu obviously did not do this. In any case, Tottenham's coach change will have a profound impact on the team's future. Let us wait and see whether they can regain their strength under the leadership of the new coach and become a strong team in the Premier League again.
