Postecoglou's Tottenham won the Europa League final in Bilbao, Spain, on the 24th of last month by beating Manchester United 1-0. It gave Tottenham its first trophy in 17 years, and Postecoglou kept his promise with the 'second-year championship myth'.
However, despite his achievements that ended the trophy famine, Postecoglou's position remains under threat. Local British media such as Football Insider and Football Mercato are pouring out news that Tottenham has decided to replace Postecoglou, only the final sanction of Daniel Levy remains, and negotiations are already underway with multiple successive candidates. Despite winning the Europa League, Tottenham's poor performance is evaluated, with 17th place, 22 losses, 65 runs, and a 40.79% winning rate, the lowest ranking since 1977. There were also reports that high-ranking Tottenham officials had already contacted manager Thomas Frank Brentford.
Coach Postecoglou held an interview with his own media outlet Australia ABC 'Australian Story' at a Greek resort on the 2nd (Korea time) and stressed that `The Europa League win should not be the peak for Tottenham, just the beginning.' Postecoglou expressed strong confidence in his direction and career set for Tottenham. "We don't just want to enjoy this moment. We must think of the following. Let's not be satisfied with this. We just tasted it now. Our players tasted it, and the club tasted it. Then I need to make sure that I can stand back here."
"When I talked to 'Australian Story' 10 years ago, you probably thought it was the pinnacle of what I could achieve (Australia's Asian Cup win)." "There is no doubt that there will be more in my mind if we sit down and talk again in 10 years."," he said, expressing greater expectation and confidence in his future moves.
Postecoglou has two years left on his contract with Tottenham, but admitted he was unsure whether he would still remain as manager in the 2025-2026 season before leaving for the post-season holiday. However, Postecoglou left a wise saying in front of thousands of fans during the Europa League trophy tour at Tottenham's home stadium. "Season 3 is much better than Season 2 in all the best TV series" he said, expressing his willingness to continue the Tottenham project, which began in 2023.
