Postecoglou was brutally SACKED by Daniel Levy a little over two weeks after ending the club’s 17-year wait for silverware by winning the Europa League.
Several Spurs players were reportedly disappointed by the club’s decision to axe the Aussie, whom Romero paid a heartfelt tribute to less than an hour after Spurs confirmed Frank as their new manager.
Along with a picture of himself and his former manager, the Argentina international wrote on Instagram: ” Ange, thank you for these two incredible seasons.
“You’re a fantastic coach, but above all, a great person who deserves the best.
“From day one you paved the way despite the many obstacles that always existed and always will exist.
“Beyond everything, we won a trophy and went down in the history of this beautiful club, which is the only thing that matters.
“I wish you the best because you deserve the best, and thank you for everything.”
Frank joins Spurs following nearly TEN years with Brentford, whom he joined as an assistant manager in December 2016 before becoming head coach in October 2018.
Predecessor Postecoglou departed the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with his record of winning a trophy in his second season at each of his clubs intact.
In a snippet of his emotional farewell statement, 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.
“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.”
