which said he was “teetering between hero and clown” depending on the result in Bilbao, Spurs boss Postecoglou defended his managerial record despite his side’s poor domestic season.

In Wednesday’s final, Tottenham will either end a 17-year wait for a trophy or finish the campaign empty-handed again, on the back of their worst campaign since the club returned to the top flight in 1978.

Speaking at San Mames Stadium, Postecoglou veered from simmering discontent to his voice cracking with emotion as he recounted his personal journey and that of his family.

He brought the conversation back to the article when the reporter who wrote it pointed out this season could become one of the best or worst in the club’s “modern history” and the *********** was veering a fine line “between two very different types of infamy”.

“Irrespective of tomorrow, I’m not a clown and never will be,” said Postecoglou.

“You really disappointed me that you used such terminology to describe a person that for 26 years, without any favours from anyone, has worked his way to a position where he is leading out a club in a European final.

“For you to suggest that somehow us not being successful means that I’m a clown, I’m not sure how to answer that question.”
