Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham coaching team finally confirmed

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed Ange Postecoglou's backroom staff.

The former Celtic boss has landed Chris Davies as his No2 in North London - after trying to lure John Kennedy to Spurs.

Bizarrely, Davies was Brendan Rodgers former assistant at Celtic.

Alongside Davies, Postecoglou will also be assisted by Mile Jedinak and Rob Burch who join existing staff members Ryan Mason and Matt Wells at Tottenham.

Davies officially takes up the post of senior assistant coach, Australia legend Jedinak is an assistant coach alongside Mason and Wells in the same position.

Burch returns to Spurs in the role of first team goalkeeping coach.

The new coaching team will begin work when Postecoglou's contract officially begins on July 1.

A Tottenham club statement confirmed: "We are delighted to welcome Chris Davies and Mile Jedinak to the Club, and Rob Burch back to the Club, to join up with Ryan Mason and Matt Wells.

"Chris, who has previously worked on the coaching staff at Swansea City, Liverpool, Celtic and Leicester City, joins as Senior Assistant Coach.

"Ryan Mason has been appointed Assistant Coach, along with our former Academy player and coach Matt Wells, who worked alongside Ryan during his spell in interim charge at the end of last season.

"Mile, a former captain of the Australia national team under Ange, also joins the coaching staff as Assistant Coach following a spell as a youth coach and Loan Development Coach at Aston Villa. He previously played in the Premier League for both Villa and Crystal Palace.

"A product of our youth set-up and former goalkeeper with us in the early-2000s, Rob returns to the Club as First Team Goalkeeping Coach, having previously served as Academy Goalkeeping Coach until 2019. He has since held coaching roles with the Football Association, Fulham, AFC Bournemouth and Club Brugge."
