Ange Postecoglou sent a not-so subtle message to Tottenham's chairman and the club's fans as the Europa League winners were saluted by around 150,000 ecstatic supporters during an open-top bus parade through north London.

The Australian manager and his team rode atop a white double-decker bus with "Europa League winners" emblazoned on it, which eventually took Tottenham's players to their stadium.

Fans packed the streets to celebrate the players, with chants of "glory, glory Tottenham Hotspur" as captain Son Heung-min held the trophy up while teammates and Postecoglou waved to fans with medals around their neck.

Having already delivered an iconic quote in his post-match press conference, telling reporters "this victory is for the true believers", Postecglou backed it up with what many on social media called a "mic drop moment".

"I told them and they laughed. I told them and they didn't believe," he began.

"And we're here because of this unbelievable group of people, the players, the staff, absolute heroes, led by the legend, Son Heung-Min, Cuti Romero, James Maddison, and Guglielmo Vicario.

"All of them, heroes, and they did it all for you. Because you deserve it. This club deserves it."

He then finished with: "And I'll tell you something, I'll leave you with this.

"All the best television series, season three is better than season two."

As soon as the Aussie manager finished speaking fans cheers loudly, no doubt a message to chairman Daniel Levy, who was standing close by.

It was Tottenham's first trophy parade since winning their last FA Cup in 1991, while their last scame in the 2008 League Cup.

Postecoglou's side are currently 17th in the Premier League, one place above the relegation zone, as they face up to their worst finish since 1976-77.
