Ange Postecoglou insists he is going NOWHERE and is consumed by making Celtic the best they can be.
The Hoops boss has been nothing short of a revelation since his arrival in Scotland last year. In his first season he won the League Cup and recaptured the Premiership title from rivals Rangers. This season he holds a nine point lead at the top as he bids for back to back league triumphs while he has retained the Viaplay Cup. The Scottish Cup is another realistic target with the Parkhead side in the quarter-final. They have eyes on a domestic Treble while his success in the transfer market has also been telling.
That has attracted his name towards a number of jobs that have come up in recent times both on the international scene and in England's top flight. Leeds United was the latest name but the Celtic boss has reiterated his desire to remain in Scotland as he admitted he 'couldn't be happier' and said 'you'll be surprised how long I am here'.

Postecoglou explained: “When people say, ‘He’s going to go down the road or somewhere else with the first offer he gets’, it’s not how I’m wired, it’s not how I think.
“For me, what it’s about is just trying to leave a mark wherever I am.
“I have done that with every football club I have been at. I want to do that at this club too and that is all that consumes me. I don’t think about the next step or I need to go somewhere else, or I need to do this or I need to consider other things.
“It’s all there and you don’t go through life oblivious to it. It’s not even healthy to put the blinkers up and not know what is going on, because that tests your desire to keep doing what you’re doing.
“Of course, if people are talking about my future, or are interested in my future, I will sit there and listen. It doesn’t mean I’m going to jump at anything that comes my way.
“I’m really passionate about what I do. The people close to me know what is most important to me, what drives me and what keeps me sort of happy in my role. And I couldn’t be happier.
“I’m hoping that over the course of time as long as I’m here — and I am still here even though people have been getting me out the door and I think you’ll be surprised how long I am here — I’m consumed by trying to make this club the best it can be. And I’ll enjoy every minute of it."
