Tottenham Appoints Ange Postecoglou As New Head Coach

Premier League side, Tottenham have announced the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as its new head coach.

Postecoglou, set to be the first Australian to manage in the Premier League, will join Spurs on July 1 after two years at Celtic in which he won back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles and a domestic treble this season.

Spurs held talks with Postecoglou, 57, on Monday after agreeing terms with Celtic to bring him to north London.

Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, said: “Ange brings a positive mentality and a fast, attacking style of play.

“He has a strong track record of developing players and an understanding of the importance of the link from the academy – everything that is important to our club.

“We are excited to have Ange join us as we prepare for the season ahead.”

Postecoglou emerged as the preferred candidate last week with Spurs having considered Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi and Fulham head coach Marco Silva.

Postecoglou takes over from Antonio Conte, who was dismissed in March, as permanent Spurs boss. Cristian Stellini and then subsequently Ryan Mason stepped into the acting head coach role for the rest of the season.
