16 days after the triumph in the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur separated from his trainer Verzecoglou. This decision was made after “careful consideration”, as the Nordlondoners announced. The 59-year-old had looked after the Spurs since the summer of 2023 and got an average of 1.53 points in 101 games. Fifth place last season, but in this only a disappointing 17th place.
“We are very grateful for his commitment and his contribution during his two years in the club. It will always be remembered as the third coach in our history, who, in addition to the legendary Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw, was able to win a European trophy,” the club praised the Australian.
However, the board came to the conclusion unanimously that there was a change in the best interest of the association. “Winning the Europa League this season is one of the greatest moments of the club, but we cannot found our decision on emotions associated with this triumph,” it continues. Only 38 points meant the worst yield of Tottenham in his Premier League story.
Brentfords Thomas Frank and Fulhams Marco Silva are traded as successors.
