Despite delivering Spurs’ first trophy in 16 years, Postecoglou’s position remains uncertain
Ange Postecoglou has called on Tottenham not to become complacent after their Europa League triumph, as speculation continues over whether he will remain as manager.
The Australian guided Spurs to their first silverware since 2008 with a victory over Manchester United in Bilbao, sparking wild celebrations that culminated in an open-top bus parade through north London.
However, it remains unclear whether this European success will be enough to secure Postecoglou’s future, with chairman Daniel Levy also considering the team’s dismal 17th-place finish in the Premier League.
Addressing fans during the trophy parade, Postecoglou hinted at his desire to stay, saying, “In all the great TV shows, season three outshines season two.”
Speaking to Australian Story while vacationing in Greece, he elaborated on his message to supporters:
“I didn’t just want us to savor the moment—I wanted us to look ahead. Don’t settle for this. Now that we’ve had a taste, let’s make sure we come back for more.”
Reflecting on his managerial career, Postecoglou added: “A decade ago, when we first did Australian Story, some may have thought that was my peak. But if we revisit this in another 10 years, I’m certain there’ll be even more to discuss.”
True to his preseason claim that he always wins a trophy in his second year at a club, Postecoglou delivered once again.
The Spurs boss admitted that after the January transfer window, he shifted focus entirely to the Europa League—even at the expense of Premier League form.
Despite the domestic struggles and uncertainty over his job, Postecoglou never doubted that he would end Tottenham’s long trophy drought.
“I felt it was my destiny,” he said. “From the moment I arrived, my mission was clear: to bring a trophy to this club.”
