Ange Postecoglou might have already found a new job after Tottenham sacking

Ange Postecoglou's coaching journey has spanned three continents and returned relentless second-year success. After his heroic Spurs sacking, the Australian coach may be set for a big pay day in the Middle East.

Postecoglou enjoyed a tumultuous two-year spell in north London which culminated in the most glorious of triumphs. After mitigating his debut campaign in the wake of Harry Kane's sale with a respectable fifth-place finish, year two proved to be considerably more troublesome as the result of a seemingly never-ending stream of injuries.

Ange's all-or-nothing style undoubtedly contributed to the glut of fitness concerns and thus Spurs' woeful domestic underperformance, and it required a retraction of his idealism to triumph in the Europa League.

We'll never know how series three would've played out in N17, and perhaps that night in Bilbao meant Ange was deserving, but Tottenham have opted to move forward with an alternate thinker in Thomas Frank.

With his legacy in north London secure, Postecoglou will now look to move on himself. While there are few coaching vacancies in Europe, an opportunity may soon present itself in Saudi Arabia.

Ange Postecoglou targeted by Al Ahli after Spurs sacking

Many have wondered what the future holds for the Australian, who's embarked on a coaching journey like no other. Success has followed Ange throughout his career, with his impressive accumulation of silverware allowing his path to follow an upward trajectory.

But how does the footballing world view his two-year stint at Spurs? It was an unforgettable period laden with drama and division before we enjoyed that sweet cathartic release on May 21, but Ange's spell manifested the risks of his methodology at the highest level. There's no denying the boom-or-bust potential, and the elites will continue to steer clear.

There's a bit of Marcelo Bielsa about him, so you wonder whether Leeds United could take the plunge after inevitably sacking Daniel Farke in November. Perhaps Ange is best suited to a club that have lost its way and in need of emboldening—he's capable of instilling a clear on-pitch identity, and is a trooper in the media when it comes to protecting his players and the club itself. West Ham, maybe? Everton?

However, a potential Premier League return may come via the Gulf, because The Athletic have reported that Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli have contacted Postecoglou over their managerial position. Matthias Jaissle is currently in charge, but there are doubts about his future with his contract expiring next summer.

Talks with Ange are said to be 'moving quickly' so there's a serious chance this happens.

A drifting away from the spotlight would perhaps be ideal for Ange, who surely grew tired of the unrelenting media duties that modern-day Premier League managers are forced to endure—with every word uttered dissected, analysed and potentially contributing to the next hit piece (*cough* Jonathan Liew *cough*).

Intrigue may well arrive from alternative sources before the start of 2025/26, and Ange may fancy sticking around in Europe after all.

Whoever opts for his services won't be disappointed, but we'd recommend a seatbelt or 100,000. The ride is like no other.
