'I told them and they laughed!' - Ange Postecoglou sends defiant message to critics at Tottenham's Europa League victory parade as he drops huge hint over Spurs future after Bilbao glory

<p>Spurs' <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-tottenham-europa-league-final-luke-shaw-bruno-fernandes/bltadc8533e87f4d227" target="_blank">hard-fought 1-0 win over Manchester United</a> in the Europa League final marked a monumental occasion for the club. Not only did it deliver their first major trophy in nearly two decades—17 years, to be exact—but it also ended an agonizing 41-year drought in European competitions. The win also guaranteed Tottenham a coveted place in next season’s <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/want-stay-ange-postecogolou-on-tottenham-future-beating-man-utd-europa-league-final/blt1c2c2c9b563b1e96" target="_blank">Champions League and a windfall of nearly £100 million. </a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Tottenham’s league campaign, however, painted a contrasting picture. A 17th-place finish in the Premier League led many analysts to question the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gabby-agbonlahor-apologise-ange-postecoglou-tottenham-trophy-drought-europa-league-triumph/bltafb635bc9ad4975e" target="_blank">manager's ability to handle the pressures </a>of managing at the top level in English football and raised doubts over his tactical acumen. But Postecoglou, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ange-postecoglou-warning-summer-sack-decision-former-tottenham-manager-spurs-europa-league-glory/blt23e210026b93dc9c" target="_blank">never one to back down from scrutiny,</a> used the celebration platform to silence his detractors. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an impassioned speech delivered from the team’s stage outside Spurs' stadium as they paraded the trophy, Postecoglou addressed the doubters head-on: "I told them and they laughed. I told them and they didn't believe. But here we are. And we're here because of this unbelievable group of people, the players, the staff, absolute heroes, led by the legend, Son Heung-Min, Cuti Romero, James Maddison, and Guglielmo Vicario. All of them, heroes, and they did it all for you. Because you deserve it. This club deserves it. And I'll tell you something, I'll leave you with this, all the best television series, season three is better than season two!"</p>

WHAT POSTECOGLOU SAID

<p>Postecoglou still has a year left on his contract, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/earned-right-ange-postecoglou-continue-tottenham-job-second-season-trophy-claim-europa-league-win/bltd532409f834d52fe" target="_blank">his future isn’t solely in his hands</a>. Ultimately, the decision lies with club chairman Daniel Levy. Reports indicate that Levy has already begun evaluating potential successors, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ange-postecoglou-warning-summer-sack-decision-former-tottenham-manager-spurs-europa-league-glory/blt23e210026b93dc9c" target="_blank">with Fulham boss Marco Silva reportedly among the names </a>being considered.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Regardless of what comes next, Postecoglou has already etched his name into the club’s history books. Whether he continues writing the next chapter or passes the pen to someone else will be known soon enough.</p>
