Ange Postecoglou considering instant return to management in Saudi Arabia but could take Premier League job instead
ANGE POSTECOGLOU is giving serious consideration to a Saudi Pro League switch.
The Aussie was ruthlessly axed earlier this month despite finally ending Tottenham’s trophy hoodoo.
And Postecoglou, 59,. is already in demand having been approached by Al-Ahli, who will be in the market for a new manager if current chief Matthias Jaissle leaves.
German Jaissle’s future remains in doubt despite guiding the Jeddah outfit – who have England striker Ivan Toney up front – to the AFC Champions League title last month.
And Postecoglou is currently mulling over the prospect of a lucrative switch to Saudi.
The Europa League-winning boss has already had interest from other clubs in England and on the continent.
He is understood to favour another crack at the Premier League should the opportunity arise.
And Postecoglou not rush a decision over his future despite the lucrative proposal from the Middle East.
The popular coach ended Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought last month by beating Manchester United in Bilbao.
But he was still sacked just 16 days later, with Thomas Frank appointed as his successor on Thursday.
The Asutralian manager penned an emotional message to Spurs after it was confirmed he would leaving the club.

He 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.”
Teacher trolled after revealing her top 3 presents she’d like to be gifted now that summer holidays are looming
AS the summer holidays draw near, many parents find themselves wondering whether they should get their child’s teacher a gift – and, if so, what to choose.
While showing appreciation is always a lovely gesture, picking the perfect present can sometimes feel tricky.
Teacher Ivy, known on TikTok as ‘toothfairylikeme’, has shared her top three favourite gift ideas to help parents navigate this decision.
In her video, Ivy revealed the presents she’d love to receive, sparking an online debate about gift-giving for teachers.
The caption of the video read: “With the summer holidays looming, lots of families are thinking of buying a present for their kids’ teacher.
“Here’s my guide on some things they would ACTUALLY like.”
With over a decade of experience as a supply teacher in primary schools, Ivy reflected on the thoughtful gifts she’s received over the years and admitted she misses them now that she’s not regularly in one classroom.
Her top picks include practical ideas: a notebook (ideal for jotting down endless notes and replacing lost scraps of paper), a sturdy tote or fold-away bag (perfect for carrying books and supplies home), and her ultimate favourite – a heartfelt handwritten note.
While many viewers praised Ivy’s suggestions for being both inexpensive and practical, others criticised the idea of teachers openly sharing what they’d like to receive.
The video sparked a lively discussion, with some arguing that appreciation doesn’t need to come in the form of gifts, while others defended Ivy’s honesty and straightforward advice.
Her video gained 28.6k views and 46 comments after two days of being shared.
One wrote: “It needs to be stopped.”
To which another added: “It only takes one parent to start it then the others try and outdo each other, I have never started it and never will.”
A second added: “Teaching must be the only profession where you are expected to give them a present just because the year ended.
“And the supermarkets force it into our faces.”
While a third said: “Never give presents to any teachers you get paid for doing your job.”
And Ivy replied: “Absolutely, and that is your prerogative.
“But if others choose to recognise the devotion that it takes to literally educate the next generation of doctors, engineers, bus drivers, etc. they should be allowed to do so without judgement.”
Should you buy a teacher a gift?
IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child's teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further...
As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two Sarah Bull weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids’ teachers a present to mark the end of term.
Sarah said: “It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school.
“But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids’ teachers too.
“With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business.
“And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation.
“After all – I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day – so don’t they deserve a token of appreciation?
“I also wouldn’t want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers.
“While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I’ll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I’ll be buying for.
“And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget.”

F1 icon wins Le Mans 24 Hours race more than a decade on from horror crash that almost killed him and broke 42 bones
FORMULA ONE cult hero Robert Kubica enjoyed a fairytale race win at the iconic Le Mans 24 Hours.
The 40-year-old took the chequered flag driving the Ferrari number 83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P, also driven by China‘s Yifei Ye and Britain’s Phil Hanson.

The #83 499P seals the 𝗵𝗮𝘁-𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿. With 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗞𝘂𝗯𝗶𝗰𝗮, 𝗬𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗶 𝗬𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻, Ferrari has shone… pic.twitter.com/etLfafZIqU
Kubica was once considered to be in an elite crop of F1 talent alongside Lewis Hamilton as he took his maiden win at the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix.
In 2011 the Pole had agreed to sign for the Ferrari F1 team for the 2012 season before disaster struck as he was involved in a devastating rally crash that almost killed him.
Kubica was left with 42 broken bones, a partially severed wrist and lost three quarters of his blood volume after being trapped in his car for more than an hour before rescue workers managed to free him.
He underwent a seven-hour operation by seven doctors before having two further operations to repair fractures in his leg, shoulder and arm.
As a result he spent months recovering from his injuries and was robbed of the chance to race for the Scuderia in F1.
Kubica returned to motorsport in the World Rally Championship in 2013 and went on to win 14 Stages before he made a stunning return to F1 to drive for Williams.
Initially he started out as the team’s reserve driver in 2018 before he was given a full seat in 2019 to partner then F2 champion George Russell.
He then left his role in 2020 after managing just a single point, but did remain as a reserve driver for Alfa Romeo.

In 2023 he was crowned champion of the World Endurance Championship, while he also won two Le Mans series in 2021 and 2024.
However, top spot in the iconic 24-hour race eluded him as he twice finished as a runner-up and was forced to retire from the 2024 edition.
But this year Kubica finally added the iconic motorsport event to his lucrative racing CV in front of a sell-out crowd – which sees around 300,000 fans gather for the showpiece.
Kubica drove a long final stint to achieve the prestigious victory for Ferrari, which is their third year in a row winning the race.
Speaking over his team radio, he said: “It’s been a long 24 hours but an enjoyable one – grazie mille, grazie a tutti.”
He later said to TNT Sports: “Winning Le Mans is special.
“It’s been a demanding week – we made everything possible. We kept our heads down when we had to push, and when not we took care of the tyres.
“I’m happy for myself, my team-mates, AF Corse and Ferrari winning three times in row. A better scenario, we could not have.”
Kubica joins two-time Le Mans and two-time F1 champion Fernando Alonso as the only drivers to have won an F1 race and Le Mans this century.
He is also the first Polish driver to win the iconic race.
Team-mate Yifei Ye also became the first ever Chinese driver to take an overall win at Le Mans 24 Hours.
Motorsport fans will also have the chance to sink their teeth into the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, where Russell took pole ahead of Max Verstappen.
Alejandro Garnacho makes Premier League transfer first choice after Ruben Amorim told Man Utd star to find new club
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO wants to stay in the Premier League this summer, according to reports.
The Manchester United winger is expected to leave Old Trafford following a row with boss Ruben Amorim.
Garnacho was upset not to start the Europa League final last month.
The Argentine was subsequently dropped from Amorim’s matchday squad for the Red Devils’ final Prem game of the season, at home at Aston Villa.
And during United’s post-season tour of Asia, Garnacho was involved in an altercation with a fan.
SunSport revealed last month that the winger favours a move to Chelsea.
Garnacho has been linked with Bayer Leverkusen, in a move that would reunite him with former United boss Erik ten Hag.
But transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reiterated that Garnacho is prioritising a move to a Premier League club.
In addition to Chelsea, Villa are said to be monitoring the situation.
SunSport recently revealed that Al-Nassr are also keen.

A move to the Saudi side would see Garnacho reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo, having briefly played alongside the Portuguese forward at United.
Initially it was claimed that United would be demanding £50million for their homegrown winger.
This figure is now thought to have risen to around £70m.
Garnacho has played 144 times for United, scoring 26 goals and laying on 22 assists.
