<p>Spurs <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/spurs-sack-ange-postecoglou-daniel-levy-thomas-frank/blte3d6a132dd72b55b#cse127a7e6a524ddbf" target="_blank">parted ways with Postecoglou</a> after the Australian manager helped the club end their trophy drought and win the Europa League, beating Manchester United in the final. The victory in Bilbao meant that the North London side secured a place in the Champions League next season despite finishing 17th on the points table. Tottenham icon Lloris hailed Postecoglou's achievement at the club as he shared his opinion on the club sacking the head coach just days after winning an important European title.     </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>When asked about Postecoglou's sacking, the World Cup-winning Frenchman said: "No, nothing surprises me in football. But at the same time, it is hard to say something because I am on the other side. I don't know what happened inside the club so it really hard for me to judge. If they made this decision, it is because they believe there is another option which is better for the future of the club. </p><p>"What Ange Postecoglou did was just remarkable. He brought this Europa League trophy, he brought a lot of joy to the Spurs community, a lot of pride as well and we all have to be thankful for that. I am not here to discuss about the choice [of Tottenham's new head coach]. He is a well-respected coach. He did an amazing job with Brentford. Now, like every coach, when you arrive in a new club, there is a new environment which you have to embrace. But if the club decided to appoint him, it is probably because they decide it is the best for the future."  </p>

WHAT HUGO LLORIS SAID

<p>He added, "They had a really hard season. They had a lot of injuries as well that affected the team and performances and I think in the second part of the season, it looks like they decided to go all-in for the Europa League. They made it and you just have to congratulate them because it is another way to go to the Champions League. At the end of the day, I don't know if you finish 10th, 14th, 15th, 16th and if you get a chance to win a trophy, on the other hand, it is just an amazing achievement. </p><p>"I was part of a really competitive team for many years and the target was to reach the top four but at which price? We could not find a way to win a cup, a League Cup or even a Europa League cup, but we managed to go and get the top four for many years. I don't know, it is all about the optics of the club." </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Lloris will be next seen in action on Monday as MLS side LAFC take on Chelsea in their opening Club World Cup match. </p>
