The Parkhead hero's two-season trophy vow could still come true despite Spurs' woeful campaign on the domestic front

Ange Postecoglou insists he is not thinking about his future at Tottenham, with talk that the Aussie could be heading for the exits even if he leads his team to glory in the Europa League final next week.

But one thing that the former Celtic boss is still adamant about is his desire to win more trophies, with his bold second season silverware prophecy on the cusp of becoming a reality once again.

Despite a dismal campaign that has seen them slump to 17th in the Premier League table with a staggering 20 defeats from 36 matches, Postecoglou will have the chance to put those domestic woes aside when they face fellow league strugglers Manchester United in the Europa League final in Bilbao next Wednesday.

If winning the trophy isn't enough, glory in the competition also has the added (or arguably more important incentive) of securing qualification for the revamped group stage of the Champions League next season.

Spurs play their penultimate match of their Premier League campaign tonight with a tricky away trip to face Champions League chasing Aston Villa and host Brighton at the Tottenham Stadium three days after their showdown with the Red Devils.

It remains to be seen if Postecoglou will be in the dugout by the time the new campaign gets underway but the Parkhead hero insists he is determined to end Spurs' 17-year-long drought for a major trophy at the San Mames Stadium in five days time.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, he said: "I would never allow myself to miss an opportunity that is right before me by thinking beyond that.

"It's just not the way I am wired.

"All I am thinking about is the possibility of doing something special in the next seven days.

"Beyond that, everything will take care of itself.

"I keep saying that I'm blessed to have the live I do. I love what I do.

"I love winning things and hopefully I can win something else again to add to what I have done before.

"(Hopefully) I will continue winning in the future, wherever that may be."
