As thousands of Tottenham Hotspur supporters cheered on their heroes and celebrated the club's Europa League triumph, one message was clear. Ange Postecoglou is well loved.
The Australian has endured a rough few months in the Spurs hotseat, mainly due to his side's poor Premier League form. But it felt like that was forgiven on Friday as the Tottenham community celebrated the club's first piece of silverware since 2008.
Postecoglou did say he always wins something in his second season. And boy did he prove himself right.
Despite the successful end to the 2024/25 campaign, Postecoglou's future remains uncertain. Daniel Levy and the Spurs boss will meet in the coming weeks to discuss the future. Whether the former Celtic man is in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium dugout when the new season kicks off remains to be seen.
Going on the carnival atmosphere during the trophy parade, though, supporters are clearly behind the 59-year-old. That 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao has cemented his status as a true icon.
This couldn't be more clearer than shortly after the white double-decker bus, with “Europa League winners” written across the front, left Edmonton Green and headed to the stadium. Fans could keep track of the bus via screens on Fore Street, High Road, Lansdowne Road, Northumberland Park and outside the stadium.
At one point, Postecoglou's face appeared on those screens. Spurs supporters responded by giving him one of the loudest cheers of the parade. His name was soon being sung by thousands who now are so grateful for what he has achieved.
There was still time for an inspirational speech from the Tottenham boss, too. On a stage erected especially for the parade, Postecoglou was asked to say a few words, with his weary-eyed and delighted players around him.
"I told them and they laughed," he bellowed. "I told them and they didn't believe. But here we are. We're here because with this unbelievable group of people, players, 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.
"And I'll tell you something. I'll leave you with this. All of the best television series, season three is better than season two."

That 'mic-drop' moment was something Postecoglou has waited to do for some time. His doubters have been proven wrong. He's been proven right. And he's willing to guide the club into the Champions League and have another crack at winning even more silverware.
With the players having clearly formed a close bond, and more and more supporters turning their negative thoughts on Postecoglou into positive ones, the Australian may well get a third season in north London. It's now up to Levy. But the fans have certainly spoken.
