Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou Reach Europa League Final

Ange Postecoglou has made history as the first male Greek Australian coach to lead Tottenham Hotspur to a major European final after a commanding 2-0 victory over Bodø/Glimt in the Europa League semi-final, securing a 5-1 aggregate win. Despite a challenging Premier League season, Spurs' Europa League success offers a chance for redemption and a Champions League spot, with the final set against Manchester United in Bilbao. Postecoglou described the potential trophy as "massive," noting the resilience his squad has shown amid adversity, including injuries to key players and intense pressure on him as manager. The victory was highlighted by goals from Dominic Solanke and Pedro Porro, with the team's professional and mature performance on a difficult plastic pitch earning praise. This final marks the second all-English Europa League final in six years and comes after Tottenham defeated Manchester United three times during the season. Postecoglou also acknowledged the loyalty of Spurs fans and the significance of this achievement for Australian coaching on the European stage.
