Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has agreed to become Tottenham\u2019s new manager on a two-year contract.<\/p>\n
The Australian, 57, has just finished his second season at Celtic, leading them to the Scottish title both years and the domestic treble this term.<\/p>\n
Spurs have been looking for a new manager since Antonio Conte\u2019s exit in March, with Cristian Stellini and then Ryan Mason taking interim charge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The final elements of the deal are being finalised before an announcement.<\/p>\n
Athens-born Postecoglou\u2019s only experience in Europe before joining Celtic in 2021 had been a spell in charge of Greek lower league side Panachaiki in 2008.<\/p>\n
He has won the Australian title with South Melbourne and Brisbane Roar, Japan\u2019s top flight with Yokohama F Marinos and also led the Australian national team to victory at the 2015 Asian Cup.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou takes over a Tottenham side who finished eighth in the Premier League and face a first season without European football since 2009-10.<\/p>\n
He becomes the London side\u2019s fourth permanent boss, after Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Conte, since the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino in 2019.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou has won five trophies from a possible six since arriving in Scotland in the summer of 2021, re-establishing Celtic as the dominant force in the country.<\/p>\n
He admitted he was seen as a \u201cjoke\u201d when he took over, with Celtic having just finished 25 points behind Rangers.<\/p>\n
But he becomes one of only five managers \u2013 along with Jock Stein, Martin O\u2019Neill, Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon \u2013 to secure a domestic clean sweep for Celtic.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou became a hugely popular figure with the Celtic fans, with his recruitment and attacking football catching the eye.<\/p>\n
