Former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has been told he'll be in line for a statue if he can deliver Europa League glory for Tottenham.
The Australian has been on record as saying that he always wins a trophy in his second season at clubs.
Spurs have just the Europa League left to play for this season, so, there is big pressure on Postecoglou's shoulders to deliver success in the competition.
They're 1-0 down heading into tonight's second leg of their Round of 16 knockout tie against AZ Alkmaar.
However, with home advantage, ex-boss Tim Sherwood is backing Spurs to progress to the next round, and indeed, go all the way to the final and win it.
If Postecoglou achieves this, then Sherwood believes the Aussie would merit a statue being built in his honour.
“If Spurs win the Europa League, there’ll be a statue of Ange Postecoglou outside the club,” he told Foot Italia. “I say that because he would’ve delivered on his mandate of winning a trophy – and they’ll qualify for the Champions League for next season in the process.
“It would also be a massive win for the club off the pitch, on the recruitment side of things. Players looking for a new club will warm to Spurs in the transfer window if they’re offered Champions League football.

"They’ve got magnificent facilities, a great stadium, and for offensive players it’s a great prospect, because you’ve got a manager who wants to play on the front foot – everything is going for them.
“However, for that all to happen, they must win this competition. I think they will win it; I have a sneaky feeling that they’ll go and lift the trophy.
"If they don’t, it could be a very difficult few months for everyone involved at Spurs.
"It will be a very hostile environment at the club if they come away empty-handed this season.”
