Ange Postecoglou ‘didn’t want to tarnish’ Tottenham’s trophy parade after Spurs boss learned he would be sacked despite Europa League triumph

Tottenham’s Europa League-winning manager Ange Postecoglou has admitted he already knew his fate before lifting silverware in May. Despite guiding Spurs to their first major trophy in 17 years, the Australian revealed he was aware of his sacking long before the celebrations and chose to stay silent so as not to overshadow the club’s parade.
