Tottenham ‘alerted to availability’ of Prem manager but Celtic expect ‘approach’ for ‘leading candidate’ | OneFootball

According to reports, Celtic ‘believe Ange Postecoglou is a leading candidate’ for the vacant manager’s job at Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs have been without a permanent head coach since Antonio Conte left in March. Ryan Mason was the club’s interim boss at the end of the season but he will be replaced in the coming weeks.

Tottenham’s hierarchy have been in talks with Julian Nagelsmann and Arne Slot but they now appear to be turning their attention to Postecoglou.

The 57-year-old has helped Celtic lift the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup in back-to-back seasons since taking over in 2021.

and 90min claim they are ‘expected to step up their interest in Postecoglou at the start of June and the Scottish champions believe an approach is forthcoming’. The report adds.

The report from 90min also points out that Brendan Rodgers and Graham Potter are on their ‘shortlist’, while ‘they have been alerted to the possible availability of Wolves’ Julen Lopetegui’.

The Spaniard successfully guided Wolves to safety in 2022/23 but has hinted that he could leave the Premier League club this summer.

“I want to solve the problems. Maybe me or the club aren’t able to solve them 100 per cent, but I think we have to try, for our fans, for our club, for our history and for our future.

“If we want to be demanding in the future we have to demand now with ourselves and with this summer.

“I have a contract and I’ve been here for six months. I’m very happy here and I hope I can continue being happy here.

“But we have a problem and we must be honest and look each other in the eyes to try to solve the problems.

“Maybe not 100 per cent, but maybe 80 per cent, who knows?

“This is all. About my future, I have a contract and we will see what is going to happen, This is football, we don’t know.”
