Ange Postecoglou breaks silence on Tottenham future amid Daniel Levy decision | OneFootball

Postecoglou could still lose his job despite leading club to first trophy since 2008

It remains to be seen whether a European trophy is enough for Postecoglou to remain in charge, with Daniel Levy also having to weigh up the team’s performances in finishing 17th in the Premier League.

In an interview with Australian Story, given while on holiday with his family in Greece, Postecoglou was asked about what message he wanted to send with those comments.

"I didn't want us to just enjoy the moment," he said.

"I also wanted us to think about what's next, you know — don't settle for this. We've got a taste of it now. My players have got a taste for it. The club's got a taste for it. Well, let's make sure we're back here again."

Reflecting on his own journey through management, Postecoglou added: “When we sat down 10 years ago and did the initial Australian Story, I think maybe even you guys thought that that was the culmination of what I was about to achieve," he says.

"In 10 years' time, if we sit down again, I've got no doubt in my mind that there'll be more stories to tell."

Postecoglou’s declaration in the early weeks of the campaign that he always wins a trophy in his second season in a job proved to be correct once again.

The Spurs boss has said that he made the decision to fully prioritise the Europa League campaign over domestic matters after the January transfer window, even if that came at the cost of poor Premier League results.

Despite those struggles and questions over his own future, Postecoglou insisted he did not doubt the club would end their long trophy wait.

''Something told me that this was going to be my destiny, this is what I was supposed to do," Postecoglou said.

"I have no doubt that for me the mission when I joined the football club was to win a trophy.”
