Teddy Sheringham has criticised Tottenham Hotspur's decision to sack Ange Postecoglou, describing the move as 'mystifying' as the club hurtles towards relegation from the Premier League. Postecoglou was dismissed in June 2025 despite winning the Europa League, after a 17th-place league finish.
Since then, Spurs have burned through three head coaches – Thomas Frank, Igor Tudor and Roberto De Zerbi – and are now odds-on to drop into the Championship. Sheringham, who spent eight years at the club, said Postecoglou should never have been sacked: 'He told everyone he was going to win something in two years, and he did... I'm still mystified.'
The former striker labelled the appointment of Tudor, who took just one point from seven games, as 'absurd', adding: 'I don't know who sanctioned the move, but it was just ridiculous.' Sheringham also questioned the hierarchy above the management, calling the past 18 months 'absurd'.
Frank, Postecoglou's initial replacement, was sacked in February after an eight-game winless run. Tudor then oversaw a disastrous seven-match spell before leaving by mutual consent, paving the way for De Zerbi. Spurs now face a fight to avoid relegation, a far cry from the 'phenomenal' football Sheringham says Postecoglou delivered.
