'What a stupid game' - Alan Shearer gets angry after Tottenham sack manager Ange Postecoglou despite winning Europa League

Last month, Tottenham won their first official trophy since 2008 after Postecoglou led the north London side to Europa League glory after beating Manchester United in the final. While the season saw the Lilywhites break their trophy duck, it also saw them suffer their worst Premier League campaign since 1976/77, when they suffered relegation to Division Two.

Near the end of the season, reports had claimed that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy had been considering sacking Postecoglou regardless of the Lilywhites' Europa League fate, and the move has now been confirmed. Tottenham announced that they had parted ways with the Australian coach, much to the anger of Premier League legend Shearer, who couldn't believe Levy's decision.

On social media platform X, Shearer commented: "What a stupid game football is!!!!" in response to Tottenham's official announcement of Postecoglou's departure.

Spurs have now been linked with Brentford's Thomas Frank, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola and Fulham's Marco Silva, and they will be keen to bring in a new coach as soon as possible to help develop their squad ahead of next season.
