He becomes the fifth manager sacked by Levy in the past six years. Brentford boss Thomas Frank, Fulham manager Marco Silva, Crystal Palace chief Oliver Glasner and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola are reportedly the leading candidates to replace Postecoglou.

Tottenham Hotspur players including Son Heung-Min, Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke and Micky van de Ven have paid tribute to Ange Postecoglou following his dismissal on Friday. Postecoglou was sacked with the club saying a change was necessary in order "to compete on multiple fronts."

Ange Postecoglou did in two years what Daniel Levy could not do in two decades, and on Friday afternoon the Tottenham Hotspur manager paid with his job.
