Ange Postecoglou has not held talks with Daniel Levy over his future. The Tottenham boss is now in a period of limbo after winning the Europa League on Wednesday.
Despite claiming the club's first piece of major silverware in 17 years, Postecoglou's position is in doubt. Earlier this season it was reported that he would be sacked regardless of the result in Bilbao.
However, after beating Manchester United to claim a trophy and secure Champions League football, Postecoglou has reaffirmed his commitment to Spurs. "I said even before the game, I really believe we’re just building something and a significant win accelerates that,"

"I really believe that is the case and I am not going to put a limit on what we can achieve. I certainly believe it’s exciting the possibilities of next year knowing I’ve got a group of players now and staff and a club that knows how to win and wants more of it."
When asked about whether he had been in contact with Levy, the chairman who will ultimately have the final say on if he stays or goes, Postecoglou added: "No, look I haven’t had any discussions. Similar to before the game, I haven't had any discussions with the club. Like I said before the game, maybe they were just waiting for clear air to give me some guidance. But I haven't heard anything from the club."
Postecoglou had been under immense heading into the final. His Tottenham side had lost 21 of their 37 league games but the narrative around the head coach has changed in the aftermath. Speaking ahead of the game, Postecoglou cut a resigned figure despite his determined words.
"My future is assured, mate," he said. "I wouldn’t be the first person who changes job. We all change jobs. I am sure you’ve had more than one job. My future is assured, I have got a beautiful family, I’ve got a great life, I’ll keep on winning trophies until I finish – wherever that is.

"Don’t worry about my future, mate. My future is not intertwined with anything. My future is assured provided god-willing my health remains, my beautiful family is beside me, my friends, there is nothing wrong with my future, mate. Don’t stress. Sleep easy tonight. I’ll be OK."
"That decision is not in my hands," he replied. "It doesn't affect me. If it was going to affect me then you would have seen it in the buildup to here. All that I cared about was this thing [the medal]. You know, having this thing around my neck means this football club has won a trophy."
He finished: "I've said that and I don't feel like I've completed the job yet. We're still building. The moment I accepted the role I had one thing in my head and that is to win something. More than anything else. We've done that now and I want to build on it."
Having been booed and widely criticised by Tottenham supporters throughout his second season, Postecoglou has altered the feeling of many after his historic achievement. Notably, at the Europa League trophy parade on Friday around north London, Postecoglou fired up the Spurs faithful.
Having a 'mic drop moment' at the end, the Australian said: "I'll leave you with this, all the best television series - season three is better than season two."
Whatever happens next for the former Celtic boss, Levy has been urged to make a decision sooner rather than later. "I guess it will be interesting to see now because he's won a trophy and he's the first Tottenham manager to do that in a long time," Gareth Bale commented.
"I guess the board have some decisions to make. They either back him or they don't and they've got to do it soon."
