Ange Postecoglou fiercely defended his managerial record ahead of Tottenham’s Europa League final against Manchester United, pushing back against criticism following a disappointing Premier League season. Facing intense scrutiny as Spurs sit 17th in the league, just below United, Postecoglou made it clear he rejects being labeled a “clown,” emphasizing his long career and hard work to reach a major European final.
He expressed disappointment at the harsh judgment after dedicating over two decades to the sport and leading Tottenham to a chance for their first trophy in 17 years.
The former Australia and Celtic manager highlighted his commitment to rebuilding Tottenham by refreshing the squad and changing their playing style, despite the many obstacles along the way. He noted that the Europa League final represents a crucial opportunity to achieve the main goal he was hired for—bringing silverware back to the club.
Acknowledging the club’s long trophy drought and lack of recent European success, Postecoglou remains focused on completing the task at hand rather than discussing his future, which he described as secure regardless of the outcome.
Postecoglou conveyed confidence in the progress Tottenham has made under his guidance, recalling their fifth-place finish last season as a foundation for future success. He stressed the importance of the upcoming final in accelerating the club’s growth, while also updating on player availability ahead of the match.
Despite injuries to Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski, Spurs have Pape Matar Sarr ready to play as they prepare for the crucial showdown in Bilbao.
