Ange Postecoglou emerges as target for two European clubs following Tottenham sacking, including Champions League side
Former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has reportedly been targeted by two European giants as he seeks a return to management.
Postecoglou was sacked by Tottenham at the end of last season despite winning the Europa League, ending the club’s 17-year trophy drought.
The Australian, however, had presided over a dismal domestic campaign which saw the club finish 17th in the Premier League.
Postecoglou, according to Fabrizio Romano, could soon be in line for a return to the dugout.
He has reportedly been discussed by both Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahce as the two clubs search for a new head coach.
Leverkusen sacked former Man United boss Erik ten Hag on Monday, after just two Bundesliga matches in charge.

The German giants had lost their opening match of the season 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim, before throwing away a 3-1 lead against 10-man Werder Bremen to draw 3-3 on Saturday.
Ten Hag did lead the club a 4-0 win over fourth tier side SG in the German Cup, but it proved to be his sole competitive victory in charge.
Postecoglou would have the chance to coach in the Champions League again should he be offered the Leverkusen job, with the club set to face FC Copenhagen, PSV, PSG, Benfica, Man City and Newcastle in the league phase.
Fenerbahce are also searching for a new head coach following their decision to part ways with another former Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho was sacked last week after Fenerbache’s failure to qualify for the Champions League, with his side losing to Benfica in the playoffs.
Fenerbahce will compete in the Europa League this season, offering Postecoglou the chance to win the competition for the second successive campaign.
Postecoglou has previously been linked with a move to to the MLS to manage Los Angeles FC, while he was reportedly approached by Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, who won the AFC Champions League in May.
Last month, Postecoglou was seen relaxing on the Greek island of Paros with a clip showing him dining at Sta Kala Kathoumena, which is owned by celebrity chef Stefanos Saratsis.
