Daniel Levy will be hoping Ange Postecoglou fulfils his silverware promise, with millions up for grabs if Tottenham Hotspur win the Europa League this season. Back in September, the 59-year-old claimed he 'always' wins a trophy in his second year at a club.
Speaking to Sky Sports following the Lilywhites' 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, Postecoglou was quizzed on his progress. The Spurs boss said: "I'll correct myself - I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second year. Nothing's changed."
Then, ahead of Tottenham's clash against Coventry City in the Carabao Cup, Postecoglou defended his spiky comment. He said: "It's amazing, isn't it? I just stated a fact. Am I supposed to just lie or just say it never happened? But do you really think it's me sort of boasting?
"It's just confusing to me that people are making a big deal out of something. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to answer something that is true. I've just said something that's true, and it seems like it's upset a lot of people for some reason."
Tottenham have since struggled to climb the Premier League table, but have enjoyed a bit more success on the European stage. So, with following their draw with Rangers, football.london has looked at where Spurs stand in the Europa League rankings.
Where are Tottenham in the Europa League?
Spurs are 9th in the Europa League following their 1-1 draw with Rangers. The Lilywhites enjoyed a 3-0 victory against Qarabag FK back in September to kickstart their campaign before stumbling past Ferencvarosi TC to win 2-1 in October.
Tottenham maintained their perfect record when they hosted AZ Alkmaar, recording a 1-0 win. In November, Victor Osimhen dented the north Londoners' hopes of automatic qualification to the knockout stages when he fired Galatasaray to a 3-2 win.
In the fifth game of the new-look Europa League, Roma held Spurs to a 2-2 draw.
Who do Tottenham still have to play?
Tottenham must still face Hoffenheim at the PreZero Arena on January 23 and IF Elfsborg on home turf on January 30 needing wins in both games to secure automatic qualification for the last 16. As previously explained, if Spurs failed to secure automatic qualification to the round of 16 then they will play knockout play-off ties on February 13 and February 20.
The round of 16 will then be played on March 6 and March 13, with the quarterfinals on April 10 and April 17. The semi-finals will be played on May 1 and May 8 before the final at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain, on May 21.
