Postecoglou struggled in his early weeks at Celtic but guided the club to two league titlesTottenham chairman Daniel Levy expressed his excitement about the appointment, highlighting Postecoglou's positive mentality, fast attacking style of play, and track record of player development. The Australian manager, the first from his country to manage in the Premier League, arrives at Spurs after securing a domestic treble with Celtic and winning five of the six available trophies during his two seasons with the Scottish club.
Postecoglou's departure from Celtic has been met with disappointment by the club's CEO, Michael Nicholson, who praised the manager's energy, determination, and success. Tottenham had been searching for a new manager since Conte's departure in March, with several names linked to the position. The club aims to address their recent lack of consistent top-four finishes and build a squad capable of returning to the Champions League. Postecoglou's experience in leading Celtic through a significant rebuilding phase aligns with the challenges he will face at Tottenham.
Having started his coaching career in Australia, Postecoglou won A-League titles with Brisbane Roar and managed the Australian national team, guiding them to the 2014 World Cup and victory in the 2015 Asian Cup. He also achieved success in Japan with Yokohama F Marinos, ending their 15-year wait for a J-League title in 2019. Despite being relatively unknown in Scotland when he joined Celtic, Postecoglou's tenure saw him deliver five trophies over two seasons.
