Of course, the biggest development this summer will inevitably be the identity of their head coach.
Ange Postecoglou etched his name into Tottenham folklore on Wednesday night, yet his position heading into next season remains uncertain.
Whether the euphoria of what unfolded in Spain changes the direction of travel regarding Postecoglou’s future should become clear in the immediate future.
Prior to this week’s success, the expectancy was that Postecoglou would leave ahead of next season; the Australian ultimately paying the price for a dreadful domestic season.
BBC Sport understands the club are some way down the line in the process of identifying potential replacements for Postecoglou.
So with that in mind, if Spurs have the strength in their initial convictions then Postecoglou may still be on borrowed time.
That said, how do you dismiss a manager who has just led you to such glory?
However the next few days unfold, what is clear for Tottenham is that they must execute the change in leadership, if there is to be one, smoothly – certainly more professionally than their previous managerial search that saw them lurch from candidate to candidate before finally resting on Postecoglou.
Among the contenders are believed to be Thomas Frank – who has a relationship with technical director Johan Lange – Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Oliver Glasner.
All may have had reservations about joining Tottenham prior to Wednesday night. But with Champions League football to look forward to, Spurs have become a significantly more attractive option.
