Tottenham coach sends clear message of next season’s target after Europa League success

Tottenham Hotspur coach Sergio Raimundo has made a bold statement about the club’s ambitions for next season, revealing the goal is not just to compete, but to win another trophy.

The 2024/25 season was one filled with several ups and downs, as Tottenham Hotspur oscillated between moments of brilliance and stretches of complete disarray, making it a campaign to remember and forget in equal measure.

The Premier League season was, quite frankly, abysmal, with Spurs ending the season having lost more matches than they won, finishing in 17th place, just one place clear of relegation.

For a club of Tottenham’s stature, that level of performance is entirely unacceptable, yet they managed to paper over the cracks of a poor campaign by their triumph in the UEFA Europa League, where they edged past Manchester United 1-0 to lift the trophy and secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Raimundo reveals Tottenham’s goal for next season is more silverware

At the beginning of the 2024/25 season, following Ange Postecoglou’s respectable fifth-place finish in his first spell as Tottenham manager, the clear objective was to secure a return to Champions League football in his second term.

The Australian boss delivered on that front, with Spurs ultimately achieving their season’s ambition despite their domestic failures.

Now that the curtain has fallen on the 24/25 campaign, first-team assistant coach Sergio Raimundo has pulled no punches about Tottenham’s target for the upcoming campaign.

The 40-year-old has revealed that Spurs want to win another trophy, describing the feeling of lifting silverware as addictive.

He told Record: “It is about continuing to win. I always had the idea of winning ten titles in ten different countries, with first division teams. Wherever you are, keep winning, because the impact it has on your family, on the fans, on the clubs, the joy you generate… it is addictive!”

Spurs eye UEFA Super Cup glory against PSG

There is little doubt that everyone associated with Tottenham Hotspur shares the sentiment expressed by Postecoglou’s number two, as fans across the board will be hoping to see the club build on their Europa League success and bring more silverware back to north London.

Tottenham will get their next shot at a trophy soon enough, when Spurs face off against UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup – a clash that promises to test the Lilywhites against Europe’s current best.

Despite PSG’s dominance throughout the season, which included dispatching all four English sides they faced in the Champions League before dismantling Inter Milan 5-0 in the final, Spurs supporters remain hopeful that their side can pull off another memorable win when they take on the French champions.

The summer transfer window will be pivotal for Tottenham, who will be looking to bring in experience and quality in key areas to strengthen their chances of sustaining a winning culture.

But, it remains to be seen whether Postecoglou and Raimundo will still be leading the charge in north London, with the club yet to make a definitive call on the Australian’s future following a dismal league campaign.
