Tottenham finally ended their trophy drought by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final on Thursday night and now the squad are set to be rewarded for the historic achievement
Tottenham are set for a massive payday after clinching Europa League glory, with boss Ange Postecoglou pocketing £2million while the rest of his squad will share a £3m bonus between them. Spurs finally ended their 17-year trophy hoodoo on Wednesday night after a famous 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final, with Brennan Johnson netting the winner.
Spurs partied long into the night after their triumph also secured them a spot in next season's Champions League - which will earn the club a £100m windfall.
According to the BBC, Postecoglou has been rewarded for his incredible achievement that saw the club win their first European trophy since 1984, with the Australian enjoying a huge bonus.
And while the players will split their own performance-related package, not all of them will enjoy automatic pay increases after reaching the Champions League.
The trophy win is all the more remarkable for Postecoglou after insisting he "always wins something in his second season" last year.
However, that goal has looked incredibly unlikely during a nightmare campaign that has led to 21 defeats in the Premier League and the team plummeting to 17th in the table.
There has been huge pressure on Postecoglou from fans while there were claims he could be sacked by the club regardless of whether he delivered the trophy.
The BBC claims Spurs are "some way down the line in the process of identifying potential replacements" for the Australian and believe he "may still be on borrowed time".
Postecoglou refused to discuss his future after winning the Europa League but insisted the decision over whether he stays was "not in my hands".
"I've had such a laser focus on winning this thing that I didn't....Whatever happens happens. I said yesterday that we are still building this team. It's still a very young team and we need to add some experience to it.
"We're in the Champions League and my thought process, and what I've been doing this year is trying to build a team that can be successful for four, five, six years. Now, I'm the manager of a football club.
"That decision is not in my hands. 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."
