The Blues will go away and regroup but are likely to bid again as they need a right-footed left winger in the squad.

Such is the impact the left-footed winger had the season before last that Ferreira tried, in vain, to convince the club board not to sell him.

The Spain winger, who scored twice in the semi-final win over France, did not enjoy one of his best games.

The South Korea winger was not alone in paying tribute to Australian Postecoglou.

The winger missed three months of action between December and April with a hamstring injury, though he returned for the final two months of the campaign.
