Ange Postecoglou, the former head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, has shared insights about his limited interactions with club chairman Daniel Levy, coinciding with a significant shift in leadership at Spurs.

Levy appointed Postecoglou in the summer of 2023, a move that came during a tumultuous time for the club, especially after the departure of star striker Harry Kane to Bayern Munich. Despite launching the season with challenges, Postecoglou brought a much-needed triumph to Tottenham by clinching the Europa League, ending a 17-year trophy drought under Levy.

However, his strategy of prioritizing the Europa League over a strong Premier League showing didn't sit well with club executives. As a result, despite the euphoric celebrations of their first European win in 41 years, the Spurs found themselves spiraling to a dismal 17th place in the league. In a shocking turn of events, Postecoglou was dismissed shortly after his triumph, paving the way for new manager Thomas Frank.

Just three months later, Levy's own tenure came to an end. Following significant discussions about modernizing the club's leadership structure, he stepped down after nearly 25 years.

Now at Nottingham Forest, Postecoglou was asked about Levy's exit. He diplomatically stated, "I don’t think it’s the kind of forum for me to speak about that at length. I didn’t have a great deal of interaction with Daniel. I tend to get on with my daily business. He was there for a very long time and invested a lot into the football club. I’m thankful he appointed me, and hopefully, I repaid him with a trophy."

Reflecting on his own departure from Spurs, Postecoglou admitted he sensed it coming before their final match and celebrated the moment without allowing the inevitable exit to overshadow the achievement. "It wasn't a surprise. I knew it was coming a fair way before the final. We won and celebrated, but I had an understanding of my position. Others may determine if it was unjust, but I had the chance to process it," he revealed.

He acknowledged the struggles he faced, stating, "Those two years were very challenging, but I worked with fantastic people in the football department. The supporters endured tough times, and now I can’t meet a Spurs fan who doesn’t want to share a meal with me. That tells me I must have done something right."

Postecoglou concluded, "Ultimately, I’m proud of what we achieved at Spurs. It holds a special place in my heart. How it ended isn’t something I dwell on much. This experience allows me to focus on my future with Forest—perhaps everything happened for a reason."
