Ange Postecoglou to bring in Celtic Trio as part of his team at Tottenham: A potential new strategy for the club?

New Tottenham Manager Set to Bring Celtic Trio with Him

The search for a new manager at Tottenham has been a long one, but the club is finally set to end it by appointing Ange Postecoglou, the current Celtic boss. Postecoglou has reportedly confirmed his intentions to move to Tottenham, with talks to take place in the next couple of days. Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, reportedly wants to finalize the agreement before Postecoglou’s scheduled holiday on Tuesday.

The Hunt for a New Coach

The process of appointing a new head coach at Tottenham commenced in early March, some weeks before the confirmed departure of Antonio Conte. Former sporting director Fabio Paratici initiated the process. Since then, Ryan Mason has been holding the fort. Tottenham‘s ambitions to find a new big-name coach have been made clear, and they have hit a series of brick walls along the way. The likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Vincent Kompany, Xabi Alonso, Luis Enrique, and Arne Slot have all turned down the Tottenham hot seat.

Postecoglou’s Record at Celtic

Postecoglou has enjoyed tremendous success at Celtic, winning five trophies in two seasons, including a superb treble capped off in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Inverness in the Scottish Cup final. With the Greek-born Australian now honing in on Tottenham, it is clear that his outstanding managerial record has not gone unnoticed by the club.

Trio to Follow Postecoglou to Tottenham?

Postecoglou reportedly wants his key backroom duo, John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan, to join him in north London. As a result, Celtic will try to demand hefty compensation for their manager and his two staff. Tottenham is also said to be targeting striker Kyogo Furuhashi, who has scored 34 goals in 50 appearances this season, putting him on Tottenham’s radar. Any deal for Kyogo will set Celtic back around £30m.

Postecoglou’s Thank You Message

Postecoglou, in a farewell speech of sorts, has thanked Celtic fans for taking him under their wing: “I have appreciated the support I have had from day one. I was a joke, a lot of people made fun of my appointment. The supporters put their collective arms around me. It was up to me to repay their trust.” He has done that in his two years at the helm. However, a new challenge awaits, and the chance to resurrect Tottenham’s fortunes in the Premier League is one he has found too good to turn down.

Advice to Tottenham

For Tottenham, the appointment of Postecoglou as the new manager appears to be a significant step in the right direction. However, the club must bear in mind the need for a comprehensive team strategy that focuses not just on the new coach and the star player that follows but on the overall needs of the team. It is essential to recognize that changes may be difficult, given the relative inexperience of Postecoglou in the Premier League. Therefore, patience will be a critical virtue in the months to come.

Conclusion

The appointment of Ange Postecoglou as the new Tottenham manager is likely to plunge Celtic into a period of uncertainty. With Postecoglou being a proven winner at Celtic, his experience is sure to be beneficial to Tottenham‘s struggling squad. It remains to be seen how the change in management will affect Celtic’s future performance and Tottenham‘s fortunes in the Premier League.
