Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in 57-year-old Australian manager Ange Postecoglou to replace Antonio Conte.
Antonio Conte was recently sacked after his explosive press conference criticising the players and the ambition of the club hierarchy. A report from Daily Telegraph claims that Tottenham are eyeing up a move for the Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou as a potential replacement for Conte.
The 57-year-old has done an impressive job at the Scottish club, and he could prove to be an interesting acquisition. Tottenham have been linked with managers like Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino as well.
Postecoglou’s attacking approach has been a major hit at Celtic, and it will be interesting to see if he’s ready to take over a big club in the Premier League. The 57-year-old will have to deal with major expectations at the north London club. And it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham have not won a trophy in a number of seasons and the new manager will be expected to end their wait for silverware. The fans will probably prefer that the club appoint a more proven winner who has an impressive track record in the top European leagues and in the Champions League.
The likes of Nagelsmann and Pochettino are more proven options in the top leagues, and they are likely to be safer appointments compared to Postecoglou. That said, the 57-year-old has shown his quality over the years, and he has certainly done enough to deserve the opportunity to prove himself at a big club.
Tottenham are currently fighting for Champions League qualification, and it will be interesting to see if they can finish in the top four. Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason will be in charge on an interim basis until the end of the season.

Postecoglou has helped Celtic win the league title since joining the Scottish club, and it will be interesting to see if he takes over at the north London club in the summer. Also, it remains to be seen if Tottenham can convince key players like Harry Kane to stay at the club if he joins Tottenham.
