‘You’re going to have to put up with me for a bit longer’

You’ll have to endure this for a while.

Ange Postecoglou admitted on Wednesday that he had no idea if he would still be employed following their Europa League quarter-final second leg trip to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Tottenham are now in the hunt for a trophy after winning it 1-0 in Germany against Bodo/Glimt, Norway, and have secured their first trophy in 17 years.

“Our fans have been through a difficult time,” said the manager. With Spurs’ 15th-placed Premier League team, Postecoglou expressed hope that this will give them something to look forward to.

“I’m the same coach I was yesterday. Never have the players lost faith. I won’t make anyone laugh at my accomplishments and make them lessenough, though.

I don’t care, it’s not bothering me, and what I do is unaffected by it. It’s always about the dressing room, in my opinion. The players’ beliefs are they true? The staff seems to believe it.

That is much more important than what other people might think of me.

You’re going to have to put up with me for a little while, sadly for many of you.

Postecoglou claimed he never lost faith in his players and feels that his players have continued to do so despite their lowest Premier League finish since 1994, despite the fact that they were on the verge of reaching their lowest finish.

The Australian manager said, “They’ve been so united in believing in what we’re trying to achieve here. And that is what made me feel so strongly that if we had a chance to recover some players from injury, we could accomplish something. That’s what keeps me going.

Postecoglou lives to fight another day when his back is against the wall.

If Tottenham had left the Europa League on Thursday, we’ll never know whether they would have let him off of his duties, but he was certainly under enormous pressure heading into a match that was probably his biggest so far.

You can’t see a scenario where Tottenham would fire the Australian before the semi-final because Victory buys him some time.

He is still in the woods at this point, though, despite it keeping the wolves out of the way for the time being.

Spurs will take into account whether Postecoglou becomes their head coach next season, despite their success in the Europa League.

Both Postecoglou’s and their Premier League form, which has been incredibly subpar, will be taken into account.
