Ange Postecoglou ‘already close to new job’ after Tottenham sack
Ange Postecoglou could potentially return to management soon after Tottenham replaced him with former Brentford boss Thomas Frank.
The Australian manager won the Europa League with Tottenham after beating Manchester United in the final, but the North London outfit’s abysmal domestic form eventually led to his dismissal.
Daniel Levy opted to sack Postecoglou despite the 59-year-old ending the 17-year wait for a trophy in N17, but he already seems close to a new job now.
Al-Ahli want former Tottenham manager Postecoglou to replace Matthias Jaissle
Al-Ahli have made contact with former Tottenham manager Postecoglou to replace Matthias Jaissle.
The German manager’s current contract at the Saudi Pro League outfit expires in 2026, and he has rejected several renewal offers, leading to uncertainty around his future.
If the Jeddah outfit decide to make a managerial change, they have the ex-Spurs and Celtic boss on their radar, and talks are moving quickly with the Australian head coach.

It looks like the 59-year-old boss has enough credit in his bank to be considered by Al-Ahli after winning the Europa League at Tottenham.
Postecoglou was bogged down by several fitness issues in his squad this season, and Levy took flak from the Spurs faithful after sacking him.
Frank to start new era at Tottenham after Postecoglou heroics
Postecoglou’s sacking felt inevitable after finishing 17th in the Premier League, and while fans may be split, there’s a sense of realisation in most that it needed to happen.
It would have been interesting to see what the Australian manager could have done at Tottenham in the upcoming campaign with a balanced squad.
The 59-year-old head coach has ensured that Spurs will play Champions League football next season, and Frank now has to oversee that.
Levy should back the ex-Brentford boss this summer transfer window and sign quality players for him.
Getting rid of Postecoglou doesn’t change the myriad of issues that still exist at Tottenham, with a major squad overhaul arguably needed in the coming months.
Now that Spurs have finally gotten the monkey of not winning a trophy off their back, they can surely be much more relaxed and confident of winning more silverware soon.
Frank will undoubtedly be judged by his ability to win trophies at the North London outfit since Postecoglou gave the fans a Europa League triumph.
The Lilywhites faithful will forever remember the Australian head coach and will be closely following his career.
