Despite this achievement, Levy decided to part ways with Postecoglou just a week later and eventually replaced him with Thomas Frank. When asked about the decision, Levy emphasized that it was a collective one, involving the board of directors and technical staff.

Levy acknowledged that Postecoglou's victory was significant, but also pointed out that the team struggled in the Premier League, finishing 17th and losing 22 games. He explained that the decision to sack Postecoglou was based on the team's overall performance, rather than just his European success.

Levy noted that no one enjoys having to tell a manager they're losing their job, but it's a reality of the football world. He emphasized that the club's goal is to win on all fronts, not just in European competitions.
