With the summer transfer window less than a month away from being open, it looks like English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur have finally settled on their choice of coach and it’s not the top names that were linked to the club, at least not the well known names.

Three days ago, there was a report of sports analyst, Phil Brown suggesting that Spurs should make a move for Celtic manager, Ange Postecoglou and it looks like that advice has been taken according to latest reports.
It’s stated that Tottenham will ramp up their move for Postecoglou after Celtic’s Scottish Cup final clash with Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Saturday evening, which will be their last game for the season.

The report also highlights that Scott Munn is a real admirer of Postecoglou as Tottenham prepare their move. Munn is arriving as Tottenham’s new chief football officer this summer and will effectively work as Levy’s right-hand man, taking over from the suspended Fabio Paratici.
The connections between Munn and Postecoglou are clear. Firstly, both are Australians. Postecoglou is certainly the most high-profile Australian manager around right now and coached their national team from 2013 to 2017.
