Spurs facing ‘dressing room revolt over Ange Postecoglou sacking as players threaten to quit’ after backing Aussie boss

ANGE POSTECOGLOU’S replacement could walk into a dressing room revolt at Tottenham, according to reports.

The Aussie was axed just two weeks after lifting the Europa League to end the club’s 17-year trophy drought.

Brentford’s Thomas Frank is the leading candidate to take over, with Fulham boss Marco Silva and Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola also in the running.

And the new man’s first job could be to lift spirits in a devastated dressing room full of players that have spoken out in support of Postecoglou.

The Telegraph claim the sacking has angered many and some stars now want to leave this summer.

A “player revolt” is a worry for chief Daniel Levy as players are unhappy over the way “Postecoglou’s exit has been handled”.

The Spurs squad penned touching goodbyes to their boss on social media, possibly hinting at their dismay over the decision.

Captain Son Heung-min called him a “legend”, who “changed the trajectory of the club and believed in us”.

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario wrote: “You are not only a top manager, you are an incredible person to work for, a real leader, a mentor, and someone I’ll always look up to.

“What we achieved TOGETHER will stay in the history books.”

Pedro Porro said: “For mentoring me early on, helping me settle into the club, and trusting me out on the pitch. 

“I’ll always be grateful for the way you led us, defended us, and kept us going through all the highs and lows. 

“Above everything, you gave us one of the greatest moments in the club’s history and for that, you’ll always be celebrated.”

Dominic Solanke added: “Thank you for bringing me to this wonderful club, thank you for bringing us a wonderful trophy.

“Won’t ever forget the convo we had before I signed and we achieved a dream! All the best in your next adventure.”
