“Spurs Icon Drops Bombshell: DEMANDS Tottenham Sack or Save Ange Postecoglou After Shocking Europa League Triumph!”

Tottenham Hotspur stepped onto the pitch at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao with a great deal at stake, facing Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final.

For Spurs, the occasion was not just about lifting a trophy—it represented a historic opportunity to end a 17-year wait for silverware and secure a coveted spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

For manager Ange Postecoglou, the stakes were even higher. This wasn’t just another final—it was a defining moment in his tenure.

The Australian coach has faced intense scrutiny throughout the season, especially due to Tottenham’s poor domestic campaign that sees them languishing in 17th place in the Premier League.

In the lead-up to the final, reports circulated that Postecoglou’s fate had already been decided, regardless of the result.

Various outlets suggested that the club was preparing to part ways with the manager at the end of the season, regardless of whether he delivered European glory.

However, winning a trophy—something Spurs have been starved of for nearly two decades—has sparked a renewed debate over Postecoglou’s future.

Former club stars Gareth Bale and Glenn Hoddle have weighed in, emphasizing that the board now faces a critical decision.

Bale, a multiple Champions League winner with Real Madrid and a key figure in Tottenham’s recent history, acknowledged the complexity of the situation.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the final, he said: “Honestly, only the chairman can decide what happens next.

There’s been endless speculation about whether he’ll stay or go. But now that he’s delivered silverware—something Spurs haven’t had in years—the board has to seriously evaluate their position, and they’ll need to act soon.”

When asked whether he personally hoped to see Postecoglou stay, Bale offered cautious support.

“I do like the style of football he implements,” he said. “People often say he doesn’t have a plan B, but tonight showed that he does.

There was a different tactical approach on display, a more balanced performance. If he continues to grow as a manager and adds that defensive solidity to his game, then yes, I think he still has a place at Tottenham.”

Glenn Hoddle, a club legend and former manager, also praised Postecoglou’s tactical flexibility, particularly in key fixtures.

Hoddle noted that Spurs have shown they can compete with anyone when they find the right balance between defense and attack.

“Games like tonight, or away at Manchester City and Frankfurt, prove we can be a top side when the team is set up correctly,” Hoddle said. “When we defend well and still manage to attack with intent, we can beat any opponent.”

Hoddle also addressed the injury woes that have plagued Spurs this season.

At various points, up to 12 players were unavailable, seriously hampering consistency and depth.

“Of course injuries played a big role in our poor league form,” Hoddle added. “When key players weren’t available, Ange stuck with his attacking philosophy, but that left the central defenders exposed too often.

That was a tactical misstep. However, in big games—like tonight—we saw a much more solid team, both defensively and going forward.”

Highlighting standout performers, Hoddle pointed to the likes of Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke. “Johnson is a real goal threat, and Solanke puts in tireless work up front. We always had a chance to score.”

Reflecting on the final itself, Hoddle was clear: “It wasn’t a classic. It lacked flair at times. But none of that matters. The club has waited 17 long years for a trophy, and tonight was all about winning.

The fans have suffered a lot, and now they finally have something to celebrate—and they deserve every bit of it.”
