FOOTBALL Tottenham finds their 'hot-spur'

The 57-year-old Australian has just completed his second season at Celtic, where he led them to the Scottish title in both years and secured a domestic treble this season.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has agreed to take on the role of Tottenham's new manager, signing a two-year contract with the club.

The 57-year-old Australian has just completed his second season at Celtic, where he led them to the Scottish title in both years and secured a domestic treble this season.

Tottenham had been in search of a new manager since Antonio Conte's departure in March, with Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason serving as interim managers during the transitional period.

The final details of the deal are currently being ironed out before an official announcement is made.

Prior to joining Celtic in 2021, Postecoglou's European experience was limited to a stint as the manager of Greek lower league side Panachaiki in 2008.

He has achieved success in various leagues, winning the Australian title with South Melbourne and Brisbane Roar, clinching Japan's top flight with Yokohama F Marinos, and leading the Australian national team to victory at the 2015 Asian Cup.

Postecoglou takes charge of Tottenham, who finished eighth in the Premier League and will not be participating in European competitions next season for the first time since 2009-10.

He becomes the fourth permanent manager for the London-based club since the departure of Mauricio Pochettino in 2019, following the reigns of Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, and Conte.

During his time at Celtic, Postecoglou has won five out of six possible trophies, re-establishing the club as the dominant force in Scottish football.

Despite initially being met with scepticism, he has earned the admiration and support of Celtic fans through his astute recruitment strategies and attacking style of play.

He now looks to bring his winning mentality and football philosophy to Tottenham as he embarks on this new chapter in his managerial career.
