English football club season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
The 2023–24 season was Tottenham Hotspur's 32nd consecutive season in the Premier League, 46th consecutive season in the top flight of the English football league system, and 142nd season in existence. In addition to the domestic league, they participated in that season's editions of the FA Cup and EFL Cup.
For the first time since the 2009–10 season, Tottenham did not compete in any European competition, due to an eighth-place finish in the 2022–23 Premier League.[1] It was also the first season since 2008–09 not to feature the club's all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane, who departed to join German champions Bayern Munich, bidding farewell to Spurs after fourteen years at the club.
On 6 June 2023, Tottenham announced that Ange Postecoglou would become the new head coach on a four-year contract.[2]
On 12 August, South Korea's Son Heung-min was named the club's new captain, having been appointed in place of Hugo Lloris.[3]

Season overview

Perspective

The start of the season saw the arrival of Australian manager Ange Postecoglou and the exit of long time serving players including Harry Kane who had been a constant presence for Tottenham.[4][5] Other players who exited the club where Lucas Moura who saw out his contract and the exit of Harry Winks who had been at the club since 2014. Davinson Sánchez who had a difficult time at Spurs was sold to Turkish club Galatasaray. Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro who were loaned in last season sign permanent papers at the start of this season.
Tottenham started the season away to Brentford where the game finished to a 2–2 draw. The following week was a home game against Manchester United which Spurs won 2–0. The form continued with an away win at Bournemouth however in the League Cup Tottenham where drawn against Fulham. This was another away day that ended in a 1–1 all draw and needed penalties to decide the tie. Son Heung-min and Kulusevski converted their penalties, however Davinson Sánchez penalty was saved by Marek Rodák. Fulham scored all five of theirs to knock Tottenham out of the competition. This also was Davinson Sánchez last game for the club as a little over a week later he was sold to Galatasaray.[6]
In the league Tottenham were unbeaten in their first ten games and sitting in first place right up to the beginning of November. On 6 November Spurs were at home against Chelsea, Tottenham started the game well with a goal from Dejan Kulusevski in the sixth minute. Eight minutes later, Son had a goal debatably disallowed for a negligible offside. However, in the 33rd minute Cristian Romero was sent off for a foul despite clearly winning the ball, something which many other players were not sent off for later in the season. This allowed Chelsea to get back into the game at 1–1. In first half injury time Reece James escaped a red card for an elbow to the face of Destiny Udogie, which would have leveled the teams at 10 players each. The game stayed that way for a period of time until Tottenham lost Udogie to a second yellow in the 55th minute. Being two men down allowed Chelsea to overcome Tottenham resulting in Nicolas Jackson claiming a second half hat trick resulting in a 4–1 loss.[7]

Pre-season and friendlies
Summarize
Perspective
To prepare for the upcoming season, Tottenham played a series of friendlies around Asia and Australia for the Asia-Pacific Tour. This saw newly appointed head coach Ange Postecoglou return to his home country. The club first met fellow English side West Ham United in Australia on 18 July 2023.[58] They then travelled to Thailand to play Leicester City on 23 July 2023, which was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.[59] To conclude the tour, Tottenham were supposed to visit Singapore to play Italian club Roma on 26 July 2023.[60] However, the match was cancelled due to logistical reasons, and so Tottenham played local club Lion City Sailors instead.[61] On 28 June, Tottenham revealed a special match dedicated to the people of Ukraine, against Shakhtar Donetsk.[62] On 19 March 2024, it was announced that Tottenham would travel to Australia and participate in a post-season friendly against Newcastle, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, on May 22.[63]
