Ange Postecoglou, the Tottenham manager (59), remains uncertain about his future even after leading his team to victory in the Europa League. For now, he has indirectly expressed his desire to stay.

Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the final of the 2024-2025 UEFA Europa League held at Estadio San Mamés in Bilbao, Spain, on the 22nd (Korean time). This marked their first title in official competitions since the 2007-2008 League Cup, a 17-year wait. In European club competitions, it was their accomplishment since winning the UEFA Cup in the 1983-1984 season, a 41-year gap.

Despite reaching the pinnacle of European competition, Postecoglou's position remains unclear.

The British media 'Daily Mail' noted, "While there is one year left on his contract, there are reports that Chairman Daniel Levy is considering successors, including Marco Silva from Fulham."

A certain atmosphere has been sensed. The day before the final, Postecoglou avoided providing a definitive answer about his future, while the players also maintained silence.

'According to the Daily Mail, after Tottenham's victory, Postecoglou expressed a desire to remain with the team. He said, "When I said I would win in my second year, everyone laughed, but here we are. With this incredible team, anything is possible," adding that "season three is said to be even more fun than season two." He indicated that he also wants to lead Tottenham next season.

"Captain Son Heung-min said, 'The trophy was won by the manager,' indirectly supporting him," the Daily Mail indicated.

Additionally, Son Heung-min shared his thoughts on the triumph: "I lifted a trophy for the first time in 10 years since joining Tottenham. It’s a great fortune to experience this moment as captain." Although he was excluded from the starting lineup against Manchester United due to a foot injury, he came on as a substitute in the second half and helped maintain the 1-0 lead.

The parade extended from Edmonton to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, gathering around 150,000 fans. The players wore shirts with the number 25 printed and paraded with the trophy around North London for two hours. Upon arriving at the stadium, they sang the anthem 'Oh When the Spurs Go Marching In' with the fans.

Although Tottenham recorded a disappointing 17th place in the Premier League this season, they reversed the atmosphere with their Europa League victory.

Whether Postecoglou can carry this momentum into next season depends on the club's decision.
