Celtic prepare for Ange Postecoglou to leave for Tottenham job

Celtic are preparing for the departure of Tottenham target Ange Postecoglou, according to talkSPORT.

Spurs have been looking for their next permanent manager since Antonio Conte left at the end of March.

The process for such an appointment was far from easy, however, with the North London side missing out on some of its targets.

However, they are expected to step up their interest in Celtic boss Postecoglou after this weekend’s Scottish Cup final.

They will face Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Hampden Park, and victory over Celtic would see them claim the treble.

Spurs have had a number of difficulties in the search to replace Conte.

Julian Nagelsmann, Arne Slot and Luis Enrique were discussed but all appeared to drop out of the running, while former manager Mauricio Pochettino joined Chelsea.

However, Postecoglou could very well be the next man in the hot seat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He took over at Celtic in 2021 and has since won back-to-back Scottish Premiership and League Cup titles.

Postecoglou has previous experience in Australia with the men’s national team and A-League team, Brisbane Roar.

Spurs have had two interim bosses in charge since Conte left two months ago.

His assistant Cristian Stellini was sacked and replaced by Ryan Mason, who previously held such a position in 2021.

The north London side, who finished 8th in the Premier League, are now set to name their fourth permanent boss since Pochettino left in 2019.
