Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has hailed Mauricio Pochettino for returning "the glory days" to the club, and says he has the utmost respect for his manager's achievements.
Spurs fell short in their pursuit of Premier League champions Chelsea but they have already secured a Champions League place for the second season running, and their highest-ever points total in the league.
They can secure their highest finish in the Premier League era, second place, with a point from their final three matches, starting with Sunday's emotional farewell to White Hart Lane against Manchester United.
Writing in the matchday programme ahead of the last-ever game at the old stadium, Spurs' home since 1899, Levy paid tribute to Pochettino.
"A win today would see us go unbeaten at the Lane all season," the chairman wrote. "It could not be more appropriate that, in what is our last season here, we have seen entertaining, free-flowing football and a return to what has once again been called glory days, such has been the impact of Mauricio and his team of coaches and players. He has my utmost respect for what he has achieved.
"We have seen the team already equal our highest points tally ever, as well as achieve our highest goal tally and what is likely to be fewest goals conceded in a Premier League season. Four of our players featured in the PFA team of the year again and we had the PFA Young Player of the Year winner for the fifth time in six years."
Demolition of White Hart Lane will start on Monday and Spurs hope to move into their new 61,000-seater stadium, being built adjacent to the current ground, for the start of the 2018-19 season.
They will play all of next season's home matches at Wembley Stadium, and Levy claimed the club was entering the biggest period of transition in its history but insisted that Spurs were not moving away from home.
"We are growing -- we have outgrown our current home and we are building a wonderful new home right here," he wrote. "We are not moving. The new pitch will overlap the old one. Our new home will slowly embrace and engulf the old one. We are determined that it will be a worthy successor to White Hart Lane and a fitting stage for our current and future great teams.
"The necessary move away for a season means that we can return as a Club with a stadium and Training Centre facilities among the best in the world.
"Success cannot be sustained on assets and financing alone -- it will take the teamwork of us all -- fans, players, coaches, directors, staff -- this is the team -- and I want to thank each and every one of you for your support as we enter the biggest period of change in the Club's history when we start the demolition of the stadium tomorrow.
"Farewell White Hart Lane -- you were the home we all loved coming to. Thanks for the memories. Now is the time to look forward. I am so proud to be the Chairman of our great Club."
