'Tomorrow’s opportunity is what matters': Postecoglou brushes off future talk
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has brushed aside speculation about his future, insisting that his focus is fully on guiding Spurs to Europa League success in Wednesday’s final against Manchester United.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou was asked whether this could be one of his final games in charge of the North London club. His response was unequivocal.
"Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter really because the reality of it is the opportunity is the same for me and more importantly the club.
"Whatever happens beyond tomorrow is irrelevant when you think about the opportunity right now and that's to provide something special for this club and its fans and everyone who has worked so hard for this. Whatever happens after that I'm very comfortable that I'll be continuing to try to win trophies wherever I am," Postecoglou said.
Postecoglou also confirmed he hasn’t spoken to his players about his future, saying that it wouldn’t serve the team ahead of such a crucial fixture:
"No, because I think that would be not really helpful in what is before us right now. I've said to the lads from day one, nothing is guaranteed in life or in sport. You have to try to take every opportunity that is ahead of you. I've been in this position before where the big game was the last game I'd manage and that's something I've navigated before."
