The future of coach Enze Postecoglou, who gave Son Heung-min and Tottenham an emotional European trophy, is not yet clear.
Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 1-0 in the 2024-2025 Europa League (UEL) final at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time). Tottenham lifted the European competition trophy for the first time in 17 years, and Son Heung-min also enjoyed the joy of winning his first club competition.
However, the moment of joy is coming for Tottenham to make a decision. It finished perfectly with a win, but this season Tottenham almost had the worst season of the 21st century. If he didn't win, it would have ended up with the worst season.
There have already been strong reports that Coach Postecoglou will leave the team regardless of whether he wins or not even ahead of the UEL final. The British Telegraph reported in April that Postecoglou is likely to be replaced if he fails to advance to the European competition. Even if it gives Tottenham its first trophy since 2008 and secures a place in the European Champions League (UCL), it is highly likely to leave the team.
After Tottenham's dramatic UEL victory, legend Alan Shearer believes Postecoglou, who beat Manchester United to win the UEL, is likely to remain at Tottenham. I don't think Tottenham are ready to let him go."
But this is just Shearer's personal opinion. David Onstein, a reporter for The Athletic in England, said "The clear direction of Tottenham's leadership was to make a difference this summer, and it will be interesting to see if they implement that change. From the outside, it's very likely, but I think there's more to think about at the moment,' he said, adding that there is still a possibility of a breakup between Postecoglou and Tottenham. Onstein boasts the highest public confidence in the Premier League (EPL).
"If you look at the evidence, not just the results, the performance, the injuries, there is room for tremendous improvement," he said. Tottenham have a very good squad, and have invested quite a lot, but they still need to improve and have good luck in injury. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were still changes, and Postecoglou wouldn't be surprised (by the outcome)Coach Postecoglou also said he would not feel strange if he was notified of the breakup.
First of all, Postecoglou naturally wants to stay. After winning the championship, Postecoglou himself did not shy away from the question of his future. He added "I'm sure I want to stay at Tottenham. I don't think I've accomplished my mission yet I'm still building a team, but I had only one goal in my head from the moment I accepted the coaching position. It was about achieving something. Now that we have achieved that goal, we want to develop it further on the basis of that goal"He strongly expressed his willingness to stay.
