The Italian left the club by “mutual agreement” at the end of March, with Cristian Stellini first and Ryan Mason later temporarily assuming the post.

“He has a strong track record of player development and an understanding of the importance of the academy link, all of which are important for our club,” he added. “We can’t wait to have Ange join us as we prepare for the upcoming season.”
In his search for a coach, the Tottenham tried to hire the Dutch manager from Feyenoord Arne Slot and the former German coach of Bayern Munich Julian Nagelsmanunsuccessful attempts that led the London club to set its sights on Postecoglou.
The latter has gained popularity among fans of the Celtic not only because of the titles they have won, five in just two seasons, but also because of their attacking style of football.
