Tottenham Hotspur's manager Ange Postecoglou expressed his frustration with media coverage of his team in a heated press conference ahead of the Europa League final against Manchester United. With Spurs looking to end a long trophy drought, Postecoglou criticized an article describing him as 'teetering between hero and clown', affirming his commitment to the club's success despite a difficult season that has seen them near the bottom of the Premier League standings. This final offers Spurs a chance to equal Liverpool's record in European competitions and secure Champions League qualification.
Spurs last lifted a piece of major silverware 17 years and 86 days prior to Wednesday's final, having beaten Chelsea in the 2008 EFL Cup final under Juande Ramos.
Postecoglou has taken issue with coverage of his team on several occasions throughout the season, and at Tuesday's pre-match press conference, he lashed out at a reporter from The London Standard.
Addressing the media after Spurs landed in Bilbao, Postecoglou said: "I'll tell you one thing, irrespective of tomorrow, I'm not a clown and never will be."
