Fans’ expectations of winning a first trophy in 17 years have grown after Spurs’ impressive debut season in north London, where the Australian led the team to a fifth-place Premier League finish. Postecoglou fueled these expectations.
Under Juande Ramos, Spurs won the 2008 EFL Cup, their lone title in the twenty-first century, and that was their final trophy.
When they host Manchester City in the Carabao Cup last 16 on Wednesday (20:15 GMT), they will have the chance to highlight their trophy-winning record.
With three victories out of three thus far, Tottenham is still among the favorites to win the Europa League.
But are Postecoglou’s Spurs guaranteed to succeed in the second season? How often does a manager win a trophy in their second season after going without one in their first? What is the performance of former Spurs managers in their second season?
