Ange Postecoglou has agreed to become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur on a two-year contract. The 57-year-old Australian just finished his second season at Celtic, leading them to the Scottish title both years and the domestic treble this term. Spurs have been searching for a new manager since Antonio Conte’s departure in March, with Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason both taking interim charge. The final elements of the deal are being finalized before an official announcement.
Postecoglou, who was born in Athens, had only one prior experience in Europe before joining Celtic in 2021, a spell in charge of Greek lower league side Panachaiki in 2008. 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.
Postecoglou takes over a Tottenham side who finished eighth in the Premier League and face a first season without European football since 2009-10. More updates to follow.
