Managers such as Antonio Conte, who recently secured the Serie A title, and Nuno Espirito Santo, who guided Nottingham Forest to a sixth-place finish, exemplify this.For Postecoglou, despite the disappointing end, he leaves Spurs having delivered silverware and upheld his promise of a trophy in his second season, preserving his reputation.

Tottenham supporters will remember the moments of joy he brought after a long wait for a trophy, and they will wish him well in his next challenge, grateful for the memories and the progress he helped achieve.READ MORE: Tottenham could still turn to Mauricio Pochettino to replace Ange PostecoglouThe post Thomas Tuchel sends message of respect to Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham sack appeared first on Spurs Web.
