Key Spurs players make their feelings clear on manager’s uncertain position after famous night in Bilbao

The former Celtic manager’s position still appears subject to doubt despite Tottenham’s famous night at San Mames as chairman Daniel Levy faces a huge decision, though his players clearly want him to stay put.

"He won the trophy. Nobody did it," said Spurs captain Heung-min Son.

"Look, it's not up to me or the players, but we just have to look at the facts.

"At the fact that we haven't won in 17 years and this is the day we finally won it. It's the manager who wins the trophy, so we see what's going to happen."

Guglielmo Vicario was in agreement with his skipper, the goalkeeper believing that Postecoglou has done a brilliant job for Tottenham despite their dreadful Premier League showing this season.

"Yeah, of course,” Vicario said when asked if he wanted Postecoglou to remain at Spurs. “He's my gaffer, he's the person who decided to bring me to this football club.

"I'm very happy for him, for what we achieved altogether. It's a brilliant night, he deserves this a lot. He drove us brilliantly this season. It's a big credit to him."

Tottenham’s match-winner Johnson called for a “mic drop” moment from Postecoglou as his much-maligned statement about always winning a trophy in his second season in charge at clubs remarkably rang true in Bilbao.

“He’s done his job,” Johnson said. “He said he wins in his second year and he has. If there was ever time for a mic drop, it’s now so I will be looking forward to his interview.

“I can’t thank the manager enough for how much trust he has had in us because some of the performances this season haven’t been good enough.

“Especially in the Europa League, he has this really good way of getting everyone up for it and today it showed.”
