Ange Postecoglou to Tottenham latest as Celtic 'resigned to new manager search'

Ange Postecoglou could be named Tottenham manager as early as next week, according to reports.

It's claimed Celtic chiefs are "resigned" to losing Postecoglou to the lure of the Premier League club after the Scottish Cup final this weekend.

Postecoglou could seal a domestic treble at Celtic with victory over Inverness at Hampden at the weekend, and it's reported it'll be his final match as Parkhead boss.

The Sun report Celtic chiefs have already started the search for a replacement to Postecoglou with Spurs interest mounting.

It's claimed Tottenham are keen to make a quick-fire appointment of Postecoglou as soon as the Scottish Cup final is over.

And the outlet reports that Celtic chiefs won't prevent an approach from Spurs to land Postecoglou.

Instead, it's reported a list of possible successors to Postecoglou is being drawn up in the Celtic boardroom.

Quizzed on the reports linking him with Tottenham, Postecoglou said last week: "I’ve been asked about these things plenty – and yet I’m still here.

"It doesn’t [come onto my radar] and anyone who knows me knows whats important is the here and now – I've never planned anything in my football career.

"My ambitions are to enjoy tomorrow and then try to win a cup final and make it a special year.

"It’s not every year you have the opportunity to win a treble and if anyone thinks I’m thinking anything other than that they don’t know me.

"I know that’s not how football works. You can’t as manager chart a course to be in a certain position at a certain time.

“I do know 100 percent  if you’re not concentrated in the task at hand your destiny is quickly taken out of your hands.”
