Club captain Son Heung-min says departed head coach Ange Postecoglou is a “Tottenham Hotspur legend forever”.

Tottenham announced they had relieved Postecoglou of his duties on Friday afternoon, despite the Australian guiding the club to glory in the Europa League final only two weeks earlier.

Spurs’ strong European run, though, was in contrast to their domestic form, as they recorded their lowest-ever Premier League points tally (38) and finish (17th), having lost 22 of 38 matches.

Postecoglou took over as head coach ahead of the 2023-24 season and on the eve of the campaign, appointed Son as his captain, replacing Hugo Lloris. After a strong start to the season, Spurs tailed off slightly and finished fifth with Son ending as the team’s top scorer on 17 goals.

“You trusted me with the captaincy,” Son wrote on Instagram on Saturday. “One of the highest honours of my career. It’s been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close, I am a better player and a better person because of you.

“Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate.”

Son’s message echoed the sentiments of Pedro Porro and Guglielmo Vicario on Friday evening, the latter of whom also joined Spurs in the summer of 2023.

“I’ll always be grateful for the way you led us, defended us, and kept us going through all the highs and lows,” Porro said. “Above everything, you gave us one of the greatest moments in the club’s history and for that, you’ll always be celebrated. Wishing you all the very best, boss.”

“From that very first call, right from the beginning, you always showed so much belief in me,” Vicario said. “Giving me the opportunity to be part of the leadership group … those moments, and many others, will stay with me forever.

“You are not only a top manager, you are an incredible person to work for, a real leader, a mentor, and someone I’ll always look up to.”

In a statement published by his representatives, Postecoglou himself said: “When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride.

“The opportunity to lead one of England’s historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget.”

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank is the leading contender to replace Postecoglou at Tottenham, who will compete in the Champions League next season after their Europa League triumph.

Bryce Harper injury: Phillies slugger lands on 10-day injured list with inflammation in right wrist

Getty Images The Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday placed All-Star first baseman Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list with inflammation in his right wrist. As part of a series of moves, the Phillies selected the contract of infielder/outfielder Otto Kemp to, in essence, take Harper's spot on the active roster. Harper has been bothered by the wrist for some time, and he wasn't in the Phillies' lineup on Friday. While Harper has been productive in this, his age-32 season, he hasn't been quite up to his usual standards, particularly in terms of power output. In 57 games this year, he's slashed .258/.368/.446 (126 OPS+) with nine home runs, 13 doubles, and 33 unintentional walks. To state the obvious, the loss of Harper's on-base and count-working abilities is a blow to a Philly offense that's quite top-heavy and doesn't boast much lineup […]
