Mohamed Salah Praises Postecoglou after Tottenham Wins Europa League

Mohamed Salah has commended Ange Postecoglou after the Tottenham Hotspur manager led his side to victory in the 2024–2025 UEFA Europa League, marking a monumental achievement for the North London club.

Tottenham clinch first European silverware in over 40 years

In a thrilling final held at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0 thanks to a composed finish by Brennan Johnson just before the break. The narrow but crucial win earned Spurs their first major European trophy since winning the UEFA Cup in 1984.

The result capped off a remarkable season for Postecoglou, who took charge of the team just two seasons ago amid skepticism from fans and pundits alike.

Salah acknowledges Postecoglou’s bold promise

Taking to social media platform X, Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah congratulated Postecoglou, pointing out how the Australian tactician had boldly declared he would deliver silverware in his second season.

“He said he would win in his second season. Congratulations,” wrote Salah, in a short but powerful message that resonated across the footballing world.

The message carried extra weight given the rivalry between Salah’s Liverpool and Tottenham, showing just how respected Postecoglou’s achievement is across the football community.

Postecoglou proves critics wrong

When Ange Postecoglou, now 59, was appointed in 2023, many questioned his credentials, especially coming from Celtic with limited experience in Europe’s top leagues. However, his tactical philosophy, emphasis on high-tempo attacking football, and ability to develop young talent have transformed Tottenham into a formidable force.

The Europa League title is not only a personal milestone for Postecoglou but also a pivotal moment for Tottenham, who have long been seeking silverware to match their ambitions. With this victory, the Australian manager has written his name into the club’s history books.
