Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven has voiced his surprise regarding the choice to sack manager Ange Postecoglou. He noted the “strange” nature of the decision, especially considering Postecoglou had just ended the club’s 17-year trophy drought. According to Van de Ven,the decision was “the club’s choice.”

Van de ven further commented, “It is a choice from the club about which we have little to say, so we will see what happens now. Of course, we see some rumours about the Brentford head coach [Thomas Frank]who it will probably be. so yes, a choice from the club about which we have little to say.”
