Ange Postecoglou has sent a message about his future as Tottenham Hotspur staged an open-top bus parade to celebrate their win over Manchester United in the Europa League final
Ange Postecoglou has told Tottenham Hotspur fans that “season three is better than season two” as they gathered to celebrate their Europa League win with an open-top bus parade on Friday.
Postecoglou’s future has been the subject of huge speculation in recent weeks due to Spurs’ poor Premier League form. Tottenham currently sit 17th in the Premier League with one game left to play and only the three relegated teams have picked up less points.
However, the Australian guided Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years as they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final. The victory came after he memorably stated earlier in the campaign that he “always” wins a trophy in his second season at a club.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will stick with Postecoglou next season, but the Australian certainly appears confident that he is the right man for the job. As he addressed a cheering crowd of fans outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Postecoglou said: “I told them and they laughed.
“I told them and they didn’t believe. But here we are and we’re here because of the unbelievable group of people, staff, heroes, led by the legend Son Heung-Min, [Cristian] Romero, [James] Maddison and [Guglielmo] Vicario.

“All of them [are] heroes. And they did it all for you. Because you deserve it. This club deserves it. I’ll leave you with this: all the best television series, season three is better than season two. Thank you.”
Postecoglou told TNT Sports immediately after the final that he wanted to “build on” their victory and he has been backed by his players. “I don’t feel like I’ve completed the job yet, we’re still building,” he said.
“The moment I accepted the role I had one thing in my head, and that was to win something. More than anything else I had that in my head, and we’ve done that now so I want to build on it.”
Brennan Johnson, who scored the winning goal, said: “He has done his job. He said he wins in the second year and he has, if there’s ever a time for a mic drop, it’s now [when he speaks to the media].
“I can’t thank the manager enough for how much trust he has in us and he has a really good way of getting us up for it.” Club captain Son Heung-min added: “He won the trophy. Nobody did it, so…
“Look, it’s not up to me or the players, but we just have to look at the facts, at the fact that we haven’t won in 17 years, today is the day we finally won it. It’s the manager who wins the trophy. So we see what’s going to happen.
