Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has agreed to join Tottenham on a two-year contract.
The 57-year-old Australian has just ended his second season with Celtic, where he led them to the Scottish title both years and the domestic triple this season.
Spurs have been looking for a new manager since Antonio Conte’s departure in March, with interim managers Cristian Stellini and subsequently Ryan Mason.
Before an announcement, the last details of the agreement are being worked out.
Athens-born Prior to joining Celtic in 2021, Postecoglou’s only experience in Europe was as manager of Greek lower league club Panachaiki in 2008.
He has won the Australian title with South Melbourne and Brisbane Roar, Japan’s top division with Yokohama F Marinos, and the 2015 Asian Cup with the Australian national team.
Postecoglou takes over a Tottenham team that finished ninth in the Premier League and will be without European competition for the first time since 2009-10.
