Ange Postecoglou could make a return to football management after being sacked by Tottenham Hotspur just a few months ago.

Spurs chose to move on from the 60-year-old after last season despite him leading the club to Europa League glory in May.

The 1-0 win over Manchester United in the final delivered the North London side a first trophy in 17 years. 

Despite helping deliver the greatest moment in nearly two decades for Spurs fans, regular poor performances in the Premier League cost Postecoglou his job.

Under his watch in the last campaign, Spurs finished 17th and registered a negative goal difference, often appearing like a team with no direction and belief within themselves.

However, he may now be set to return to the dugout and take on a position outside of England.

Who is looking at hiring Postecoglou?

Per Fabrizio Romano, Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahce are considering appointing the former Spurs manager.

Postecoglou's name is reported to have been brought up in conversations by the two clubs as they both look to decide on a new head coach after making recent dismissals.

Leverkusen sacked former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag after just two league games earlier this week.

Fenerbahce moved on from another ex-United boss, Jose Mourinho, after he failed to guide the Turkish side past the Champions League playoffs.

Should both clubs make an offer to Postecoglou, he may be tempted to take charge at Leverkusen as the Bundesliga club are competing in the league phase of this season's Champions League.
