Postecoglou, who arrived at Spurs from Celtic in 2023, guided them to a fifth-place finish in his first season. However, the 2024/25 Premier League campaign was a struggle, with Spurs finishing 17th, losing 22 of 38 matches, narrowly avoiding relegation.
Despite the domestic woes, they ended the season on a high, defeating Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao to claim their first trophy in 17 years and secure Champions League qualification.
Addressing fans during the victory parade, Postecoglou reflected on his bold autumn claim that he "always wins in my second season." "I told them, and they laughed. I told them, and they didn't believe, but here we are," he said from the open-top bus.
"This unbelievable group of players and staff, absolute heroes led by Son Heung-min, Cristian Romero, James Maddison, and Guglielmo Vicario, did it for you. This club deserves it. And I'll leave you with this, all the best television series, season three is better than season two."
Despite the triumph, uncertainty surrounds Postecoglou's position. Reports indicate Levy is still weighing whether to retain the 59-year-old, with Brentford's Thomas Frank a leading candidate to step in if a change is made. Frank, whose release clause is around nine million pounds, has a prior connection with Spurs' technical director Johan Lange, strengthening his case. Meanwhile, Fulham's Marco Silva has ruled himself out, confirming his commitment to the Cottagers after their final-day defeat to Manchester City.
Postecoglou addressed the speculation before Spurs' 4-1 loss to Aston Villa in their last Premier League game. "I should have thought about it a bit more because sometimes they kill off the main character," he quipped, referring to his "season three" comment. "I feel we're building something exciting. I haven't had any discussions with the club. I assume at some point someone will tell me something, otherwise I'll just turn up next season and get on with my job."
As Spurs celebrate their long-awaited silverware, Levy's impending decision will shape whether Postecoglou leads them into the Champions League or if a new manager, possibly Frank, takes the reins in north London.
