Levy's to-do list after paying Postecoglou £2m Europa bonus

For Tottenham, a summertime of accidental beckons. Their historical Europa League triumph successful Spain means they tin caput into the adjacent play with a bounce successful their step.

Their 17-year trophy drought is over and, pertinently, they are backmost successful the Champions League.

With that, definite doors plaything open. Finances are stronger; you tin pull players – oregon managers successful Spurs' lawsuit - who wouldn't person needfully fixed your nine a 2nd glance.

The Champions League is wherever the elite players request to perform. It's the level the champion emerging endowment imagination of reaching.

Life's easier successful the Champions League and Daniel Levy tin instrumentality solace successful that earlier what is gearing up to beryllium a engaged summer.

Here we look astatine their to-do list, from the manager's future, to recruitment plans and the bonuses for European glory.

Of course, the biggest improvement this summertime volition inevitably beryllium the individuality of their caput coach.

Ange Postecoglou etched his sanction into Tottenham folklore connected Wednesday night, yet his presumption heading into adjacent play remains uncertain.

Whether the euphoria of what unfolded successful Spain changes the absorption of question regarding Postecoglou's aboriginal should go wide successful the contiguous future.

Prior to this week's success, the expectancy was that Postecoglou would permission earlier adjacent season, with the Australian yet paying the terms for a dreadful home season.

BBC Sport understands the nine are immoderate mode down the enactment successful the process of identifying imaginable replacements for Postecoglou.

So with that successful mind, if Spurs person the spot successful their archetypal convictions past Postecoglou whitethorn inactive beryllium connected borrowed time.

That said, however bash you disregard a manager who has conscionable led you to specified glory?

However the adjacent fewer days unfold, what is wide for Tottenham is that they indispensable execute the alteration successful leadership, if determination is to beryllium one, smoothly – surely much professionally than their erstwhile managerial hunt that saw them lurch from campaigner to campaigner earlier yet resting connected Postecoglou.

Among the contenders are believed to beryllium Thomas Frank – who has a narration with method manager Johan Lange - Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Oliver Glasner.

All whitethorn person had reservations astir joining Tottenham anterior to Wednesday night. But with Champions League shot to look guardant to, Spurs person go a importantly much charismatic option.

The imaginable re-appointment of Fabio Paratici indispensable besides beryllium considered.

Paratici, who left his presumption arsenic Spurs' managing manager of football aft Italy's highest sports tribunal rejected an entreaty against a two-and-a-half-year prohibition concerning alleged fiscal irregularities dating backmost to his spell astatine Juventus, is successful talks implicit a instrumentality erstwhile his suspension is lifted successful July.

How influential could helium beryllium successful the determination implicit Postecoglou and his imaginable replacement?

How would Paratici – who besides has immoderate involvement from clubs successful Saudi Arabia – and Lange co-exist successful comparatively akin roles?

If Paratici does implicit a return, does that mean existent main of shot Scott Munn's days are numbered, peculiarly with Vinai Venkatesham already confirmed arsenic the club's adjacent main executive?

In the abbreviated term, Levy volition motion disconnected a £2m bonus to Postecoglou for lifting the club's archetypal European trophy since 1984.

The players volition besides divided a performance-related bundle of astir £3m for their success, though it is understood that automatic wage increases for Champions League qualification are not cosmopolitan crossed each idiosyncratic contractual agreements.

Either way, you'd ideate Levy volition person nary qualms with paying for his club's historical success.

We shouldn't, however, expect the Tottenham president to proceed spending lavishly this summer. History tells america it's not his style.

But gathering connected Wednesday night's euphoria volition travel astatine important expense.

Forming a squad susceptible of competing successful the Champions League is an altogether antithetic proposition from seeking to amended a squad that could yet decorativeness 17th successful the league.

BBC Sport understands that the consciousness wrong the club's recruitment squad is that their young squad should beryllium supplemented with much experience.

For instance, an established cardinal midfielder is believed to beryllium connected the club's radar this summer.

If they suffer vice-captain Cristian Romero to La Liga, they volition look to regenerate the Argentina planetary with a ready-made replacement.

Spurs tried to motion Crystal Palace and England planetary Marc Guehi successful January and stay funny successful the centre-back.

They volition beryllium astatine pains to support the acquisition already astatine the club. Rodrigo Bentancur, whose existent woody expires adjacent year, has held archetypal talks implicit an extension.

The nine person already exercised an enactment to widen skipper Son Heung-min's declaration until the summertime of 2026.

That isn't to accidental Tottenham volition wantonness their remit of signing young talent, with Southampton's teen Tyler Dibling a target.

And whoever is the manager volition person a monolithic accidental arsenic you'd expect.

Not for the archetypal time, it's gearing up to beryllium an absorbing summertime astatine Tottenham.
