Tottenham Hotspur won their first trophy in 17 years last season, but that wasn’t enough to save Ange Postecoglou’s job.

The number 17 was significant for Spurs last term, they won their first trophy in 17 years, but they also finished 17^th in the Premier League too.

The league form wasn’t good enough, and, thus, Ange Postecoglou was sacked.

Postecoglou could’ve been sacked months prior, but he was given the chance to win the Europa League and he delivered.

Many wanted Postecoglou to stay after his European triumph, but Daniel Levy decided to get rid, and hire Thomas Frank instead.

Speaking on The Overlap, Jamie Carragher has been discussing Postecoglou’s sacking, and he’s backed Levy’s decision to get rid of the Australian.

Daniel Levy made the right decision with Ange Postecoglou

Carragher spoke about Postecoglou’s sacking and the decision Levy made.

The pundit says that this was a brave decision for the Spurs chairman to make, but, ultimately, he said this was the right call after such a poor season domestically.

“He’s your owner, Daniel Levy, and I think he made the right decision. What I found contradictory was a lot of people saying ‘I can’t believe they’ve sacked him.’ But last season people were saying they can’t believe Man Utd kept Erik ten Hag and he won a trophy,” Carragher said.

“The easy decision for Daniel Levy would’ve been to leave Ange there. The harder thing was the sacking, but it was the right decision. I think that was Daniel Levy making a really good decision for the benefit of the club.”

Ange Postecoglou’s record compared to other Tottenham managers

Sacking Postecoglou after winning a trophy won’t have been an easy decision for Levy, but, as Carragher says, it was the right call.

Indeed, the numbers show that Postecoglou was the worst Tottenham manager for a generation.

The Australian seriously underperformed at Spurs, and after finishing 17^th in the Premier League, he simply had to go.

Of course, the Europa League win was emotional, and Postecoglou will go down in history for that triumph, but, sadly, he had come to the end of the road at Spurs.

As Carragher says, Levy made a strong decision in getting rid of Postecoglou, and, ultimately, it was the right call.
