Ange Postecoglou has said he has not had any discussions on his future with Tottenham Hotspur following their Europa League success.
Postecoglou led Tottenham to their first major trophy since 2008 and their first European triumph since the UEFA Cup in 1984 with a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Wednesday.

The Australian’s position has been put under peril due to a disastrous Premier League season, with Tottenham 17th in the table ahead of Sunday’s final fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion/
But after winning the Europa League, thereby securing Champions League football for next season, Postecoglou was greeted with a wave of support from fans at the trophy parade outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday evening.
In front of a crowd estimated to exceed 150,000, Postecoglou said: “(In) all the best television series, season three is better than season two.”
However, in Saturday’s pre-match press conference, he confirmed he has not received any communication regarding his role for next season.
“Similar to before the game, I haven’t had any discussions with the club,” he said. “Like I said before the game, maybe they were just waiting for clear air to give me some guidance. But I haven’t heard anything from the club.”
Asked whether there is still a chance he could depart, Postecoglou said he has not thought about it.
“I haven’t given it a lot of thought. I refuse to be distracted by anything in terms of the opportunity that was before us, and since the game I just wanted to take the opportunity also to enjoy that as well.
“I assume at some point somebody will tell me something. If not, I’m just gonna roll up next year and be a bit like (George) Costanza from Seinfeld. I’ll just sit at the desk and get on with my job.”
When asked what fans could expect from “season three”, Postecoglou responded: “I should have thought about it a bit more because as somebody rightly pointed out, sometimes they kill off the main character. I could be in strife there!
“I said even before the game, I really believe we’re just building something and a significant win accelerates that. I really believe that is the case and I am not going to put a limit on what we can achieve.
“I certainly believe it’s exciting the possibilities of next year knowing I’ve got a group of players now and staff and a club that knows how to win and wants more of it.”
Heung-min Son will miss Sunday’s game with the foot injury that sidelined him for seven matches before returning ahead of the final, and Cristian Romero will be absent from the squad with a toe injury. After picking up a knock in the final, Yves Bissouma is “50-50”.
Postecoglou confirmed Mathys Tel, an unused substitute in the final, will play on Sunday. Asked whether there have been any more discussions regarding Tottenham’s option to buy him permanently from Bayern Munich for €55million, Postecoglou said he had not been involved in any discussions.
“I guess they’re the kind of discussions we still need to have,” he said. “But again, without myself gatecrashing meetings, I need to be invited to them.”
If Spurs beat Brighton at home on Sunday, they could climb to 14th, depending on results elsewhere.

The Boston Red Sox are promoting top infield prospect Marcelo Mayer, according to a team source.The long-awaited promotion of Mayer, the No. 28 prospect in baseball according to The Athletic’s Keith Law, comes as the Boston Red Sox are expected to place third baseman Alex Bregman on the injury list with a right quad strain. Bregman injured his quad while running to first base on Friday night.AdvertisementThe likely loss of Bregman for the foreseeable future is a blow to the Red Sox lineup, as he was hitting .299 with a .938 OPS in 51 games, but it opens the door for one of the most anticipated Red Sox prospect promotions in recent memory.The 22-year-old Mayer, the No. 4 overall draft pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, has been near the top of the Red Sox system for the past four […]
Bryson DeChambeau Q&A at Indy 500: On parallels between golfers and drivers
INDIANAPOLIS — Two-time U.S. Open champion and LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau visited Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday, one day before the Indy 500, to take a lap around the 2.5-mile track in a two-seat IndyCar. With a custom firesuit and helmet, he then met up with Andretti Global driver Kyle Kirkwood to play a few holes of the Brickyard Crossing golf course, which is partially located inside the mammoth speedway.Shortly after his lap, DeChambeau met up with The Athletic to chat about the crossover between golfers and race car drivers — two types of athletes who have more in common than you might think.I know plenty of athletes love golf and it’s a big hobby, but many race car drivers are very much into it and absolutely love it. Could it be the mental aspect of competing against yourself out there?I […]
Koubek: Proti Jablonci jsme předvedli Evropu, druzí jsme zaslouženě. Teď se ale na čtrnáct dnů na fotbal vyprdnu!
Jablonec jste přejeli. Byl to od Plzně pohárový výkon?Tento termín před takovými zápasy hodně používáme. Chceme v nich ukázat Evropu. Někdy se nám to daří víc někdy míň. Jablonci jsme nedovolili, co má rád. Tedy rychlý, přechodový fotbal. Vyšel nám začátek, pak jsme měli senzační standardky. Někdy se povede, že vám tam všechno napadá.Foto: FCVPTrenér fotbalové Plzně Miroslav KoubekLze hodnotit sezonu jinak než úspěšnou?Byla úspěšná.

Trpišovský: V sezoně jsem tabulku neřešil, rekordy nás motivovaly
Nastoupili jste v nejsilnější možné sestavě. Proč jste se rozhodli právě takhle?Bylo to plánované dopředu. Řešili jsme to v návaznosti na celkový program. Upřímně, kluci nechtěli žádné volno. Chtěli hrát všechno a všude. Nakonec ale, i kvůli určitému tlaku shora, dostali volno na zápas v Jablonci. A třeba Honza Bořil, Lukáš Provod a Tomáš Chorý se k nám ve středu připojili s tím, že chtějí být u týmu.Sehrála v tom roli i prohra s Jabloncem?Ano. Byla pro mě priorita, abychom se s fanoušky rozloučili vítězně. Hráče teď čeká krátké volno a pak reprezentační srazy. Později se k nám zase připojí. Tohle jsme měli v plánu už delší dobu.Proti Baníku jste vytvořili dva nové rekordy – v počtu bodů i domácích výher. Byla to před zápasem hlavní motivace?Přiznám se, že ano. Všichni jsme to tak vnímali. Když máte možnost zapsat se do historie, chcete to udělat. Ideálně tak, aby tam stálo jen vaše jméno. Pamatuju si, jak trenér Škorpil kdysi říkal, […]
Felipe Melo destaca lateral do Brasileirão e avisa: “Ancelotti vai ter que olhar”
Felipe Melo em comentário feito no "Seleção Sportv" (Reprodução - YouTube) A lateral-esquerda da seleção brasileira ainda é uma grande incógnita. Na véspera do anúncio da primeira lista de convocados de Carlo Ancelotti, Felipe Melo teceu muitos elogios para Luciano Juba, do Bahia. Titular absoluto com Rogério Ceni, o camisa 46, de fato, tem sido um dos grandes destaques da posição no Campeonato Brasileiro. Se hoje o setor não tem um atleta definitivo, o jogador da equipe baiana pode vislumbrar uma chance com a amarelinha. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Luciano Juba é um jogador que o Ancelotti vai ter que começar a olhar. Não temos um fixo na lateral-esquerda. Ele faz uma temporada excelente, é outro atleta aí.
