Coach Anze Postecoglou started negotiations to coach the Italian national soccer team after leaving Tottenham.

Chris Antony, who is dealing with the European football transfer market, said on the 10th (Korea time), "It is reported that negotiations are underway to become the next coach of the Italian national soccer team after Luciano Spalletti was replaced," adding, "We are looking forward to aiming for Italy's rapid reconstruction. As much as we want to take charge of the club in the long run, there is a possibility that it will be a short-term contract."

Tottenham announced on its official channel on the 7th (Korea Standard Time), "We dismissed Coach Postecoglou after performance evaluation and in-depth review."

Tottenham said, "We recorded the worst performance in the history of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. Winning the UEFA Europa League is one of the club's great moments, but we couldn't make a decision only to win," adding, "In the upcoming season, we should be able to compete with the top ranks at more moments through change."

For Tottenham, Thomas Frank, who led Brentford as their new coach, is the most likely candidate. "Coach Postecoglou changed the club's trajectory. He trusted himself and us. "He didn't shake for one moment," he said. "He always knew what we could do and he did it his way. And the way he did it brought the best night for the club in decades. We will cherish that memory for the rest of our lives." 바카라

Spalletti took the helm of the Italian national soccer team in August 2023, but failed to achieve any significant results. He was eliminated in the round of 16 after losing to Switzerland at Euro 2024, and secured a place in the quarterfinals at the 2024-2025 Nations League. The team's 0-3 defeat by Norway in the Group I match of the 2026 North-China World Cup European qualification was a fatal blow. Italy, which failed to participate in the 2018 Russia World Cup and the 2022 Qatar World Cup, took the sword in a surprise move.
