Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Ange Postecoglou, multiple reports confirmed on Tuesday, February 18, 2026. The decision follows a 3-2 defeat to Sunderland, leaving Postecoglou still searching for a Premier League win.
The dismissal, described as “ruthless” by some outlets, comes after Tottenham secured a win in the Europa League, a result that seemingly did not sway the club’s leadership. Daniel Levy, the Tottenham chairman, is understood to have made the final decision, according to reports.
News of the sacking prompted an outpouring of emotion from Tottenham players, with many posting messages of support for the Australian coach. The Daily Mail reported that players sent “emotional messages” following the announcement.
Postecoglou’s departure leaves Tottenham in a precarious position as they navigate the remainder of the Premier League season. The club has not yet announced an interim replacement or begun the search for a permanent successor.
