The now former Tottenham Hotspur manager expressed pride in their tenure, highlighting the honor of leading the historic club and achieving success, notably in Bilbao, after two years of hard work and overcoming challenges.
They believe the foundations laid will ensure future success, express faith in the players’ potential, and thank the supporters, staff, and players for their support and dedication, emphasising a lasting connection with the club.
The lengthy statement 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.
“That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream.
“There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible.
“We have also laid the foundations that means this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success.
“I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them.
“I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters.
“I know there were some difficult times, but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on.
“It’s important to acknowledge the hard working people at Spurs who gave me encouragement on a daily basis.
“And finally, I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years.
“A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special.
“We are forever connected. Audere est Facere.”

@LeeJonesEsports: You can just tell that Ange completely gets it. He epitomises the ‘Spurs DNA’. I’m genuinely so gutted he’s gone
@officialdalper: Best manager in my lifetime I’ll wish him well in his next chapter
@Daniely79: Great statement that tbf. Will always go down in history
@Alexmitton10: Spurs will never have a better speaker or motivator as manager. A classy statement from a classy man.
@vasanthTHFC: I bet everything he’s going on to the next club and getting a bigger success that this. Possibly a league title and UCL
@brendanbelfast: What a classy statement. Thanks Ange 💙🤍
@grayjam68: Very classy. Thanks Ange & good luck.
@DarrenTurnerCP: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. LEGEND ❤️ Levy has to be removed from our club. He
@PaulKeen2: Proper class Ange. Thank you, yes our league performance was poor this season but you said you HAD to prioritise after being sold short in Jan. You focussed on the one trophy & you delivered a joyous night we will never forget. Only the 3rd manager to deliver a euro trophy. 👏
@sophieophie2: The fact he’s been sacked is fucking ridiculous. Levy running this club has now got beyond a joke.
@n17sm: Feel so bad for him
@mattt1395: Worst part about this is that he is a genuinely nice human being. Really hope another prem club picks him up, loved his football during the times when things worked out
@KarlWilsher: Classy statement! The guy knows how to give a speech I’ll give him that!
@mandybell0401: I’m so gutted. Never known such a poorly run establishment. Wish him all the very best for the future. A truly decent human being 🤍
@thfc_will: Gave me the best night of my life. A manager that no Spurs fan will ever forget. Thank you Ange 🇦🇺💙
@JontyEvans: Fair play to him, he can’t half speak well. He has my full respect and I’m sorry to him if I ever said anything that was unfair. Ultimately I feel this is the right decision and the club statement echoes my feelings perfectly. Thanks for the memories and I wish him all the best.
@TGarfield17: We are not allowed to be happy. Why is Levy such a c*nt!
@johnpcorr: Ange – European trophy – you delivered 👍 Best wishes for success in your next challenge
@carlsbergpapi: This oozes class. I’m pleased he leaves a legend without potentially damaging this status with the upcoming season.
@THFCTHELANE: Classy and let’s be honest, that cup win keeps him on people’s lips when looking for a new manager. He comes out of this well considering what would have happened if we hadn’t won the final and finished 17th!
@crosswordbird: I am gutted that Ange has got the sack. A lot of the media have been on his back the whole time. I think that they should be ashamed of themselves. As for Levy all he is doing is feathering his own nest. He is a dispicable excuse for a human being. The fans need better than him.
@thfcmasxn8:“We are forever connected. Audere est Facere.”Only my gaffer.
@jonathanbhoward: Straight class
@BrianSpurs25: Shouldn’t have read that 🥹 top class to the end
