Former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has promised “a team to get excited by” as he strives for success after being appointed as new Tottenham head coach.
The Australian takes heads to North London after a successful stint at Celtic which finished last week when he guided the Glasgow club to victory in the Scottish Cup final over Inverness.
The 57-yearold takes over after a tumultuous period in Tottenham's history. Antonio Conte’s was dismissed in March and interim boss Cristian Stellini went shortly after with Ryan Mason stepping into the breach for the remainder of the season.

Spurs finished eighth at the end of a dismal season, their worst Premier League position since 2008, and Postecoglou is ready to get started on turning those fortunes around.
“It’s great to finally get started as manager of this great football club,” he said in a video message posted on the club’s social media accounts.
“I’m really looking forward to our task ahead. I think it’s an exciting opportunity for us to now set off on a new direction, play football and create an environment that embodies the values and traditions of this fantastic football club.
“Hopefully a team that you can all be proud of, and more importantly get excited by.
“I can assure you that right through pre-season we won’t leave any stone unturned, myself, the staff and the players, to make sure that when the league comes around you will be as excited as I am about the season ahead.
“So I really look forward to seeing everyone at the stadium, in particular at our first home game, and I look forward to the journey ahead.”
