It has been reported that Tottenham Hotspur (England), who are reeling after losing the command tower, will appoint Angie Postecoglu, who was in charge of Celtic (Scotland), as the new manager.

The British BBC reported on the 6th (Korea time) that “Director of Postecoglu has agreed to a two-year contract as Tottenham’s new manager.” The media explained, “Tottenham have been looking for a new leader since sacking manager Antonio Conte in March.”

Reporter Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European transfer market, also said that Postecoglu and Tottenham have agreed a ‘2+1 year’ contract. At this rate, the director of Postecoglu is certain.

Coach Postecoglu, who has led Celtic since 2021, has achieved a treble with the team in the 2022-2023 season. Celtic won the regular league, Scottish Cup (FA Cup) and League Cup on the Scottish stage in the 2022-2023 season, recording the 8th treble in their career. They also won the league cup and the regular league for two consecutive seasons. Coach Postecoglu recruited young gun Oh Hyun-gyu from K-League 1 Suwon Samsung last January.

Last season Tottenham had the worst performance in the English Premier League (EPL). After parting ways with coach Conte, he appointed coach Christian Stellini as interim manager, but was sacked again due to poor performance. In the end, Tottenham appointed coach Ryan Mason as interim manager and finished the season.

Tottenham’s final scorecard is 8th in the league. All of them failed to qualify for next season’s UEFA club competition. As we desperately need a change of atmosphere, we are doing our best to appoint a new manager.

Coach Postecoglu played an active role as a defender during his active career as an Australian under-20 (U-20) and adult representative. After becoming a coach, he served as the head coach of the Australian age group national team and the Australian A national team.

He also has a relationship with Tottenham Son Heung-min. In the 2015 Asian Cup, he led the Australian national team and won the championship by winning 2-1 in the final against Korea. At the time, Son Heung-min scored an equalizer in extra time in the second half, which was losing 0-1, and took the game into extra time. Attention is focused on whether the Postecoglu director will form a relationship with Son Heung-min as a priest this time.
