Tottenham Hotspur have the opportunity to win their first major trophy since 2008 when they take on Manchester United in Wednesday’s Europa League final.
Tottenham have had a dismal season in the Premier League, just like Manchester United have, but both sides are now on the cusp of glory as they face off in Bilbao.
Questions remain over Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham, with speculation suggesting Spurs are already looking at alternative managers.
Jamie O’Hara has now shared what he thinks Tottenham should do with Postecoglou if he does put an end to Spurs’ trophy drought in the Europa League final.

Jamie O’Hara not convinced by Ange Postecoglou in Premier League
O’Hara, speaking to the Daily Mail, was asked what he thought about Postecoglou and whether he still has a future at Tottenham.
The Spurs-supporting pundit said he was initially impressed by Postecoglou’s style of play but feels he has been “found out”.
And while O’Hara feels Postecoglou has adapted in the Europa League, he reckons the mentality of losing in the Premier League “has become a problem”.
Therefore, O’Hara thinks Postecoglou should still go at the end of the season, even if they triumph in the Europa League final.
“When he came in I really liked him,” said O’Hara. “The style of football was great. I think he got found out as a manager.
“In terms of the tactics, he was very stubborn, he wasn’t willing to adapt, but in the Europa League he has adapted and played a bit more defensive football.
“I don’t necessarily think he’s the answer for Spurs, because I think the mentality of losing in the Premier League has become a problem.
“So I think after this, if we do win, he should still go.”

Postecoglou is missing three of his most creative players ahead of the Europa League final against Manchester United.
Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are both nursing knee injuries, while Lucas Bergvall is out with an ankle injury.
Radu Dragusin and Dane Scarlett are also on the sidelines along with Kulusevski, Maddison and Bergvall.
However, Pape Matar Sarr is fit after being forced off in Friday’s 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa with discomfort in his back.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have been boosted by the availability of three recent absentees.
Diogo Dalot, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee all took part in Tuesday morning’s training session following their respective recent absences.
Matthijs de Ligt is one of only two Man United players to miss out on the final through injury, with long-term absentee Lisandro Martinez being the other.
