Mark Schwarzer can't see Ange Postecoglou leaving Celtic anytime soon - as he outlines a key difference to the way Brendan Rodgers departed Glasgow
The Australian has been linked with moves to the Premier League this season after making a stellar impact in charge of the Premiership champions. He's won the hearts of the Hoops support and countryman Schwarzer can see why. Rodgers left Parkhead midway through the 2018/19 season to take up the role as manager at the former goalkeeper's ex-club Leicester City, and it left the Celtic support miffed, with some still angered to this day.
He told the Scottish Daily Mail that Postecoglou doing similar is unthinkable, saying: "He went from managing in the A-League to managing the national team, got an opportunity to go to Japan. He did very well at Yokohama, winning their first title in a number of years and changing the whole ethos of the club. What Ange has done everywhere he has gone, every job he has been at, is leave the club in a better place. So he is one of those people who lays the foundations, accomplishes a lot with a club.
"And if an opportunity comes up - and it all works for everyone then who knows? I actually think he is very happy where he is. When I spoke to him he had an unbelievable respect for Celtic and the opportunity they have given him to manage at the level they are at. So I don't think he is actively looking to move on at all. I think he is more than happy. I think the anger with Rodgers was more about the timing and the way it was done.
"That's everything and it's key. In saying that, do you always get to pick the right time? Sometimes it's now or never. And if, down the line, there are opportunities? Well, then, you have to make tough decisions. But everywhere Ange has left he has done it on good terms. He has always done it the right way. I can't see it being any different when he goes from Celtic."
