Ange Postecoglou is named head coach of Tottenham following Celtic’s domestic triple crown.
After spending two years at Celtic and winning back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles, Postecoglou will join Spurs on July 1. Spurs began negotiations with Postecoglou on Monday following their agreement with Celtic; Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton and Marco Silva of Fulham were also given consideration.
Tottenham has named Ange Postecoglou as its head coach for a four-year term.
On July 1, Postecoglou—who will become the first Australian manager in the Premier League—will sign with Spurs. During his two years at Celtic, he won a domestic triple this season in addition to back-to-back Scottish Premiership crowns.
Postecoglou’s coaching staff will be announced “in due course,” according to Spurs.
The new head coach, Ange, “brings a positive mentality and a fast, attacking style of play,” according to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
“He has a proven track record of producing players and is aware of the value of the academy’s connection to everything that matters to our team.

After considering Fulham head coach Marco Silva and Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, Postecoglou emerged as the favored choice last week.
After Antonio Conte was fired in March, Postecoglou takes over as the permanent manager of Spurs. For the remainder of the season, Ryan Mason and Cristian Stellini took over as interim head coaches.
Postecoglou was persuaded to stay in Glasgow by Spurs’ offer, despite Celtic’s best efforts to keep the former Australia manager in Glasgow.
“They wanted me to extend my time at Celtic and while I am so respectful and understanding of their position, a new opportunity has been presented to me and it is one which I wanted to explore,” stated Postecoglou.
The Scottish champions said in a statement on Tuesday that they were “already underway” the process of selecting their next manager.
“While we will aim to announce this appointment to supporters as soon as possible, our priority will be to appoint the best candidate to take the club forward,” the statement said.
Could this summer see Kane and Lloris go from Spurs?
Following the announcement of Karim Benzema’s departure by Real Madrid over the weekend, Carlo Ancelotti declined to comment on rumors that the team was interested in Harry Kane.
One year before his contract was set to expire, Benzema departed Real Madrid, and Kane is widely believed to be the France forward’s replacement at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real is also considering Kai Havertz of Chelsea, according to Sky Germany.
With one year remaining on his contract at Spurs, Harry Kane is a fantastic player and a tremendous representative of Tottenham, as Ancelotti has stated several times. Respect for the player and Tottenham is required.”
