ANGE POSTECOGLOU sent a heartwarming text message to Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma.

The Aussie boss was sacked on Friday – just 16 days after leading Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years as they beat Manchester United in the Europa League final.

However, a woeful Premier League campaign which saw the club finish 17th and record 22 losses meant his position was ultimately untenable.

Many of the Tottenham squad – including captain Son Heung-min and James Maddison – were quick to post emotional messages of gratitude to Postecoglou.

And Bissouma has now revealed his own WhatsApp exchange with his former manager on Snapchat.

The conversation begins with Postecoglou writing: “Hi Biss. Sorry I missed your call. I am very proud of you.

“It was an honour to share a dressing room with you and appreciate how much you believed in what we were trying to achieve. 

“I wish you only the best for the future. I will always be following. Much love from my family to yours.’

Bissouma replied just over an hour later with: “Thank you gaffer and thank you really much for everything on and off the pitch I’ll always be grateful.

“The way you believed me and trusted me was incredible. I’m gonna miss you but it’s football life.

“Got a lot to be said but I think you know what I’m thinking about you already so I’m just wishing you all the best for the future and may God protect you and your family. #bigboss love.”

The exchange ended with the 59-year-old responding: “Always by your side Biss .”

Bissouma was one of the best players on the pitch during Spurs’ Europa League final win 16 days before Postecoglou was axed, and has the former Celtic boss saved as ‘Big Ange’ in his phone.

The heartfelt farewell exchange indicates how popular Postecoglou was with his players who are reportedly furious with the decision to sack him.

SunSport exclusively revealed that Brentford manager Thomas Frank has agreed to replace Postecoglou.

Spurs will have to pay a hefty compensation fee for the Dane, and are also interested in taking Bryan Mbeumo with him.

Frank is set to be Bissouma’s third manager since he joined Antonio Conte’s Spurs from Brighton in June 2022.

MUSIC legend Sly Stone, frontman of Sly and the Family Stone, has passed away at the age of 82, The U.S. Sun has learned. 

The musician’s death comes after a “prolonged battle” with COPD, otherwise known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, as well as struggles with “other underlying health issues.” 

In a statement sent to The U.S. Sun, a rep for the pioneer of funk music said on behalf of his family: “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. 

“After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. 

“While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.”

The statement continued: “Sly was a monumental figure, a groundbreaking innovator, and a true pioneer who redefined the landscape of pop, funk, and rock music. 

“His iconic songs have left an indelible mark on the world, and his influence remains undeniable. 

“In a testament to his enduring creative spirit, Sly recently completed the screenplay for his life story, a project we are eager to share with the world in due course, which follows a memoir published in 2024.

“We extend our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers during this difficult time. We wish peace and harmony to all who were touched by Sly’s life and his iconic music.

“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support.”
