Porro expressed his gratitude, saying: "Thank you for everything, boss. For mentoring me early on, helping me settle into the club, and trusting me out on the pitch." Richarlison added: "Mister, massive thanks for helping me out and believing in me during one of the trickiest periods of my career and my life."

Other players such as Solanke, Bergvall, and van de Ven also shared their appreciation for Postecoglou's leadership and the impact he had on their careers. They thanked him for bringing them to the club, for winning a trophy, and for creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Overall, the players are grateful for the experience and lessons they gained under Postecoglou's guidance, and they wish him the best in his future endeavors.
