Ange Postecoglou has made history as the first Australian to manage a Premier League team, with Tottenham Hotspur confirming his appointment. CGreenbank9 9News MORE:
"Ange brings a positive mentality and a fast, attacking style of play," Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said. "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.Postecoglou will join Tottenham on the back of a trophy-laden stint with Scottish giants Celtic
The 57-year-old Postecoglou, who was born in Greece and raised in Australia, was previously coach of Australia and also Japanese club Yokohama F. Marinos. He is a blunt speaker, with his players and the media, and has clarity in his vision of football."This appointment is a personal triumph for Ange and his family, and we are absolutely delighted for them," said Football Australia CEO James Johnson in a statement.
Tottenham has also had to endure the upheaval of Conte's departure in March, which was quickly followed by the exit of his former assistant Cristian Stellini, who was appointed interim manager until the end of the season. As well as managerial instability, Tottenham has also lost managing director of football Fabio Paratici after he lost his appeal against a 30-month ban for his part in a false accounting scandal involving former club Juventus.
One of Postecoglou's first jobs at his new club may be to try to convince Harry Kane that his future remains at Spurs.
