Despite ending Spurs' 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League, a 17th-place finish in the Premier League kept the pressure on Postecoglou.

A 4-1 defeat to Brighton on the final day of the season meant Spurs were the first team in English top-flight history to lose 22 games in a 38-game season and avoid relegation.

Speaking at his Charity Golf Day, which raises money for three different charities, Maddison said he hopes the team continues to win with Postecoglou at the helm.

"Yeah, he's been brilliant," Maddison said. "Even at the start of the season, saying 'I don't usually win things [in my second season], I always win things'. 

"It's one of them. We knew that would create a big uproar in the media, with you lot never shutting up about it. But never once did I stop believing that he meant that.

"Managers and clubs can go long periods without winning trophies, but he's a man who's always had success. His biggest strength is his self-belief in what he does, and that feeds off into us. That's been installed into us in Europe this year in all of the away games, even the ones in the group stage.

"It's a tough competition to win. We managed to get over the line with the gaffer, all together, all of us as a club, we all win together. Hopefully that, like the gaffer said, can keep the feeling, and we have that winning feeling now, and we know what it takes to win."

Midfielders Bergvall and Gray also spoke on their willingness to continue working under the Australian manager.

When asked about how much he wants Postecoglou to stay, Bergvall said: "100 percent.

"I think he's done a great job. It's not been easy for any of us, especially because of all the injuries, but as he said, he always wins things in his second year, and that's true.

"It's been a great season this year, and it's been a rollercoaster of a season as well.

"We've had some really tough times, and we've stuck together.

"He's big on things like family, and I think that was the main thing that helped us to get the final and win the final is our morals of what we're like as a team.

"We believe in each other, and we were like brothers going out there on the pitch in the final."
