Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou told fans at a victory parade celebrating the Europa League win that "season three is better than season two," hinting at brighter days ahead. The Australian, in his second year at Spurs, secured the club’s first trophy in 17 years, despite a tough domestic season.
Spurs sit 17th in the Premier League with one game left, with only the three relegated teams faring worse. Amid speculation about his job and the club reportedly exploring replacements, Postecoglou was warmly received by fans during Friday’s parade in north London.
Speaking outside the stadium before the Europa League trophy was lifted, he drew cheers with his TV series analogy, signaling optimism for the future. The Europa League success also secures Spurs a spot in next season’s Champions League.
Postecoglou had vowed in September to deliver silverware in his second year, a promise critics mocked as the Premier League campaign faltered. Reflecting on the Bilbao final win over Manchester United, he quipped, “I told them. And they laughed.”
He later explained to the Tottenham Hotspur YouTube channel that the team prioritized the Europa League after the January transfer window, a strategy that paid off. “The history books say we’re the Europa Cup winners, and it doesn’t say how we did it,” he said.
