Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has agreed to become Tottenham’s new manager on a two-year contract. <\/span><\/p>\n

\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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Spurs have been looking for a new manager since Antonio Conte’s exit in March, with Cristian Stellini and then Ryan Mason taking interim charge.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final elements of the deal are being finalised before an announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Athens-born Postecoglou’s only experience in Europe before joining Celtic in 2021 had been a spell in charge of Greek lower league side Panachaiki in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has won the Australian title with South Melbourne and Brisbane Roar, Japan’s top flight with Yokohama F Marinos and also led the Australian national team to victory at the 2015 Asian Cup.<\/span><\/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.<\/span><\/p>\n

He becomes the London side’s fourth permanent boss, after Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Conte, since the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino in 2019.<\/span><\/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.<\/span><\/p>\n

He admitted he was seen as a “joke” when he took over, with Celtic having just finished 25 points behind Rangers.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he becomes one of only five managers – along with Jock Stein, Martin O’Neill, Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon – to secure a domestic clean sweep for Celtic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Postecoglou became a hugely popular figure with the Celtic fans, with his recruitment and attacking football catching the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n
