Ange Postecoglou promise to deliver a silverware for Tottenham Hotspur in two years- This he fulfilled when his team managed a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the 2025 UEFA Europa league final hosted in the beautiful Bilbao Stadium in Spain.
It was a long wait for Spurs as this triumph comes after a 17-year trophy drought, securing a place in next season’s UEFA Champions league.
”I ALWAYS WIN THINGS IN THE SECOND SEASON”
He made the above statement in September after a poor run in the Premier League. This bold statement didn’t come as a surprise to some as his managerial career shows history of second-season successes in his previous club engagements as seen in the likes of South Melbourne, Yokohama Marinos, Brisbane Roar, and a domestic treble with Celtic.
As a defender in his playing days, it is no surprise that the Greek-born gaffer deployed a defensive tactics after Tottenham took the lead from a Luke Shaw’s own goal, thanks to Pape Sarr deflected cross from the flanks.
Though Spurs may likely finish the Premier League season in a disappointment 17th position, their automatic qualification to next season UEFA Champions League will certainly be a moral booster.
This is Tottenham’s first European Trophy since 1984, making Ange Postecoglou the first Australian manager to win a major European title. The job is far from complete stated Postecoglou as he looks forward to transform the club’s fortunes.
Tottenham Triumph and Postecoglou promised fulfilled.
