TOTTENHAM ΤΟ UP INTEREST IN POSTECOGLOU

SPURS CHIEFS IMPRESSED BY HIS WORK WITH CELTIC AND HOPE TO HOLD TALKS AFTER SCOTTISH CUP FINAL

- 

TOTTENHAM are set to step up their interest in Celtic head coach Ange Postecoglou after Saturday’s Scottish Cup Final.

Postecoglou is a contender to permanently succeed Antonio Conte and is said to have impressed Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who is leading the club’s search for a new boss and director of football.

Among Postecoglou’s admirers at Spurs is the club’s incoming chief football officer Scott Munn, a fellow Australian who knows Postecoglou personally and is set to officially become Levy’s de facto No2 from July.

Any serious discussions with Postecoglou, who is on a 12-month rolling contract at Parkhead, will have to wait until after Celtic face Inverness in this weekend’s showpiece at Hampden Park, with the Bhoys aiming to seal an eighth domestic treble.
