"All TV series are better in season 3 than season 2."
Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou clearly expressed his willingness to stay in Tottenham's third season in a speech at the Europa League trophy parade.
Tottenham won the Europa League final against Manchester United 1-0 thanks to Brennan Johnson's winning goal in the 42nd minute of the first half at San Mames in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd. After winning the 2008 League Cup, he succeeded in lifting the trophy again for the first time in 17 years. After enjoying a party all night in Bilbao, Spain, a romantic victory parade with London home fans took place on the day. Coach Postecoglou, Captain Son Heung-min and Tottenham's squad celebrated the victory by sharing the joy of the trophy with fans around 3km near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on an open-top bus with a roof.
Tottenham fell to 17th place in the league this season due to a series of injuries and sluggish performances. Postecoglou was also constantly embroiled in rumors of his replacement. However, Postecoglou, who has written a history of `second-year championship' in all his clubs, finally kept his promise of winning at Tottenham and succeeded in a major reversal `happy ending`.
Standing in front of Tottenham supporters, Postecoglou responded, `I said that, but they laughed. I said that, but they didn't believe it. But now we are here. Here we are now." "This is thanks to the incredible staff, heroes, young men" "'Legends' Son Heung-min and Kuti Romero, James Madison, Guillermo Vicario, they are all heroes, and they have done everything for you. You deserve to lift this trophy, and this club deserves it"He celebrated his first win in 17 years.
He went on to say what he wanted to say most. "There's one thing I have to tell you, but all the best TV series in the world are better than season two." The team and fans cheered and expressed their support for this word.
Before the Europa League final, Pochettecoglou's future was very uncertain and uncertain. Ahead of the final match of the Premier League season, Tottenham remains in 17th place with 37 games and 38 points. Tottenham had the most losses (20 losses) except for the three relegation teams Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester City. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy faced a moment of major decision after Pochettecoglou revived by handing Tottenham the trophy for the first time in 17 years. According to a series of media outlets, including the BBC, the leadership, including chairman Levy, initially considered replacing him regardless of whether he won or not. The BBC reported that Tottenham has already been working on selecting a candidate to replace Postecoglou to a large extent. Given this situation, if the club first push ahead with its decision, Postecoglou's time is almost over.' Thomas Frank, who has a relationship with technical director Johan Lange, as well as Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola, Fulham coach Marco Silva, and Crystal Palace coach Oliver Glasner, were among the candidates.
In an interview shortly after winning, Postecoglou admitted that he had sacrificed Tottenham's Premier League schedule since January to focus on winning the Europa League, and confessed that the decision had not received much support from the club's leadership. Postecoglou said it wasn't until the end of January, when the transfer season was over, that we decided that the trophy we were going to target was to win the Europa League. "It was a decision that was contrary to what others believed we had to do at the time, but I believed we could win. Everything we've done since then, everything we've done in training, and the teams I've chosen have been to make sure we're in the best position to play this game as it approaches"He emphasized that it was a prepared victory. "I definitely paid the price in the league and I have to take responsibility for it, but I thought it was more important to win in the end and the only way to do that."," he added.
Pochettecoglou also claimed he had no conversations with Levy about his future as Tottenham manager after the Europa League final. "There is no planned meeting. There was no discussion, no one told me anything. Maybe they felt they didn't have to, or they were waiting for this game."
