“There will be a time to come for those kinds of questions but for now, we’ve grasped a small chunk of history for ourselves and I’m not going to pass that by being side tracked.” “I will enjoy it for as long as I can before people drag me away to talk about other things.” Scott Munn, the recently appointed chief operating officer, is a fellow Australian and a big admirer of Postecoglou’s methods and philosophy.Īfter Celtic’s win over Inverness on Saturday, Postecoglou said: “People around me have all worked hard to enjoy this moment, so that’s what I’m going to do.” Postecoglou arrived at Celtic with no backroom staff in June 2021 and, crucially, could be open to working with Ryan Mason at Tottenham, who is highly regarded by club chairman Daniel Levy.

Leicester City paid around £9 million to land Brendan Rodgers and his staff from Celtic in February 2019, but the fee for Postecoglou is thought to be significantly lower. Celtic will demand compensation but are aware of Tottenham’s interest and will not stand in Postecoglou’s way if he expresses a desire to take over at the Premier League club. Tottenham are seeking a new manager who will introduce an identifiable style of play and have been respectful in their pursuit of the 57-year-old, with Celtic’s season finally ending on Saturday. Former Spain manager Luis Enrique and Fulham’s Marco Silva are also on Spurs’ shortlist. Postecoglou has emerged as a leading contender to take over at Spurs, nearly 10 weeks after the departure of Antonio Conte, after an outstanding two seasons in Glasgow.

Spurs want to hold talks with Postecoglou and are keen to open negotiations on Monday, after the Australian secured the treble with Celtic’s Scottish Cup win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Tottenham are poised to make an official approach to Celtic this week over the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach.
