Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou is unsure of his future despite leading the club to their first Europa League trophy following a 1-0 victory over Manchester United last Wednesday.
The Greek-Australian has endured a poor season in the Premier League, and he was linked with an exit from the club at the end of the season before winning the Europa League.
The former Celtic manager said he has not spoken to the club chairman, Daniel Levy about his future.
He said: “Somebody rightly pointed out, sometimes they kill off the main character so I could be in strife there,” Postecoglou told reporters with a laugh on Saturday.
“I’m not going to put a limit on what we can achieve but I certainly believe that it’s exciting, the possibilities of next year knowing I’ve got a group of players now and staff and a club that knows what it takes to win.
“I haven’t had any discussions with the club… maybe they were just waiting for clear air to give me some guidance, but I haven’t heard anything from the club.
“I assume at some point somebody will tell me something,” he added.
“If not, I’m just going to roll up next year and I’ll be a bit like (George) Costanza from (television show) Seinfeld, I’ll just sit at the desk and get on with my job.”
Postecoglou and his Tottenham players will shift attention to their last Premier League game of the season after their Europa League trophy parade on Friday.
He said: “As I’ve gotten older, and I used to be a bit different, but I really feel you need to celebrate your achievements properly and that was kind of my message to the boys,” Postecoglou said.
“It’s really important because once they’ve achieved it and they’ve done it in a very difficult way, it’s important for the people around them because then they can relax and enjoy it as well.
“Fair to say they took my words literally and certainly enjoyed themselves over the last couple of days and, like all parties, there’s always one family member that embarrasses you and you want to keep control of… we had a couple of those!”
Tottenham currently occupies the 17th position after 37 games they can move up to 16th if they win against Brighton, and Manchester United fails to win against Aston Villa.
