There had been claims the Spurs manager would walk away from the job no matter the result on Bilbao.
But he said in the aftermath of the 1-0 win against Manchester United: "I'm pretty relaxed. Well not relaxed but I'd be pretty disappointed if I can't continue on this path. It is not a criticism. I understand why it would be difficult for a club like this to buy into one person's vision.
"Even when I signed Daniel (Levy) said 'we've gone after winners and it didn't work, now we've got Ange'. Mate I'm a winner. I've been a serial winner my whole career. It is what I have done more than anything else.
"People talk about my football, which I am very proud of, I know people dismiss my achievements because they did not happen on this side of the world but for me they were all hard earned. All I have done my whole career is win things."
Rightly concerned about league form
"The way things have gone in the league people are rightly concerned about. I don't think it's a true reflection of where we are at. Whatever happens I have said my own belief in what I do doesn't waver and I continue to go on and do what I do.
"Huge relief. This was maybe our 59th or 60th game this year that means I've been in front of you guys 150 or 160 times, I have been a spokesperson for the club this year. I know everything I say is important. Fair to say I don't always get it right. That responsibility weighs on your shoulders."
Asked about discussions on the future, he also said: "No planned meetings. No discussions. I haven't spoken to anyone about anything. Look what I do know is I'm going back to my hotel room, I'm going to gather my family and friends, open a nice bottle of scotch, then get ready for a massive parade on Friday. Then last game against Brighton and we want to finish strong. Then Monday I'm going on holiday with my beautiful family because I deserve it. Que sera, sera."
