Ange Postecoglou has promised Tottenham supporters that next season will be better if he celebrated a Europa League triumph.
The filthy goal of Brennan Johnson in Bilbao on Wednesday was enough for Spurs to see Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final.
Spurs has won their first trophy since 2008, while they will also participate in the Champions League of next season.
Whether Postecoglou, who is under pressure, will or will not be to supervise them, can still be seen.
In their last day, Spurs collide with Brighton in 17th place in the Premier League, and the highest they can end up is 14th.
They have lost 21 league games this season, but Postecoglou promised the next campaign will be better if he is in charge.
“I told them and they laughed. I told them and they didn't believe it. And here we are,” Postecoglou told the crowd during Spurs' Trophy Parade.
“I will leave you with this: the whole best television series, season three is better than season two.”
Postecoglou previously invited supervision in the campaign when he insisted that he “always” wins trophies in his second season in a club.
In the meantime, Brighton is starting Sunday's game, knowing that a victory would cause them to finish eighth, which would be enough for them to possibly be eligible for Europe.
A player who may not be involved in a European adventure for the Seagulls is Joao Pedro, who has been associated with a move.
Joao Pedro was also omitted from the Brighton team for Monday's victory on Liverpool, due to a grounds for training.
And the leading scorer of the club in the competition will not appear against Spurs.
Fabian Hurzeler said: “With Joao we had a small problem in training, a type that is not uncommon at all football clubs. We have treated it internally and the issue is closed.
“Joao is an incredible football player, he is a match winner for us and he is a great player and that is why we have invested in him.
“But there are principles, there are values ​​that are non-considerable that count for everyone. I don't make compromises.”
