Tottenham Hotspur agree terms to sign Celtic’s Postecoglou as manager

By Chimezie Nebolisa

Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement in principle with Celtic's Ange Postecoglou to take over as their manager.

Reports say the 57-year-old Australian is expected to sign a two-year contract with an option for a further year.

Postecoglou guided Celtic to a domestic treble this season andpreviously coached Yokohama F Marinos, Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory. He also had a four-year stint as Australia manager during which he led them to the 2014 World Cup.

The 57-year-old is set to take the Spurs job after Antonio Conte was sacked in March with his assistant Cristian Stellini and then Ryan Mason having interim spells in charge of the north London side since the Italian's acrimonious exit.

Spurs missed out on European football for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
