Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou told fans “season three is better than season two” as they gathered at a victory parade for the Europa League champions.

The Australian is in his second year with the club and before landing a first trophy for Spurs in 17 years, it had been anticipated he would lose his job for a poor domestic season.

His side are 17th in the Premier League table with one game remaining and only the three relegated sides have performed worse.

The club are undertood to have started the process of identifying potential replacements for Postecoglou.

However, he was loudly cheered by fans who gathered for Friday’s victory parade through the streets of north London, while players spoke of their love for their boss.

And speaking to fans from outside the club’s stadium before the Europa League trophy was lifted, Postecoglou suggested better times lay ahead for them.

“All the best TV series, season three is better than season two,” he said, to loud cheers of approval.

Winning the Europa League means Spurs have qualified for next season’s Champions League competition.
