'Why am I even being asked that question?!' - Ange Postecoglou bites back at 'weird' speculation over his Tottenham future after final day battering from Brighton

<p>Postecoglou oversaw Tottenham's 4-1 defeat to Brighton on Sunday, but the loss - their 22nd of the league season as they finished 17th - came after three consecutive days of celebration after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ange-postecoglou-defiant-message-to-critics-tottenham-europa-league-victory-parade-spurs-future-after-bilbao-glory/blt790e1b37a1af2c44" target="_blank">winning the Europa League in Bilbao on Wednesday</a>. In doing so, Postecoglou played his part in ending a 17-year trophy drought, and won Spurs' first European title in 41 years.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>There remains uncertainty, however, over whether the Australian will lead Spurs into the 2025-26 season. He was once again asked the question on the back of the Brighton defeat, and he bristled at the suggestion his future is in doubt. He drew attention to the club's trophy parade, in which over 200,000 Spurs fans lined the streets to get a glimpse of their heroes, with many of them chanting his name.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After full-time, Postecoglou <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/ange-postecoglou-tottenham-future-doubt-b1229697.html" target="_blank">said</a>: &nbsp;"I will be honest, I have been finding it really weird talking about my future when we have done something unprecedented. I have had to answer the questions because no one else at the club is in the position to do so, I guess. But I can’t answer that question about me and my future. Like I said, part of me is thinking, ‘why am I even being asked that question?’ But it is what it is. I have got no doubt, though, that this could be a real defining moment for this club because wherever I have been I have made an impact where I have brought success to a club that hasn’t had it for a while. You just have to look at those clubs' trajectory even after I left, they are still competing for things. I really think this is a moment in time where this club could push on and be a real contender for honours on a yearly basis."</p><p>He added: “You know my gut feeling? My gut feeling is I feel right now that I’ve done something that no one believed I could. And I shouldn’t be sitting here talking about it [my future]. That’s my feeling, but it is what it is. Seeing those scenes Friday [at the club's trophy parade] and people have reached out and talked to me about how it has affected them, what has happened over the last couple of days. It’s a beautiful thing and I just want to enjoy that. To be honest, the rest of it? You know I don’t even want to be talking about it. I just think it is unnecessary. You’re right to ask the question but you’re asking the person who can’t give you that answer. And I guess, even for you guys [the media], you wouldn’t be asking it if there wasn’t a doubt, right? But I can’t answer it. There is nothing I can say that will answer that question. Other people can, so from my perspective, it doesn’t diminish the achievement."<br></p>

WHAT ANGE POSTECOGLOU SAID

<p><a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/daniel-levy-tottenham-fans-ange-postecoglou-b1229687.html" target="_blank">Reports</a> suggest Spurs chairman Daniel Levy remains undecided over Postecoglou's future. It remains to be seen if he will return from his holidays to plan Spurs' summer business, or if he will have to begin searching for a new job. His CV, either way, has undoubtedly been bolstered by Spurs' glorious night in Bilbao.</p>
