Postecoglou is a contender to completely succeed Antonio Conte and is claimed to have impressed Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who’s main the membership’s seek for a brand new head coach and director of soccer.

Among Postecoglou’s admirers at Spurs is the membership’s incoming chief soccer officer Scott Munn, a fellow Australian who is aware of Postecoglou personally and is ready to formally turn into Levy’s de facto No2 from July.

Any critical discussions with Postecoglou – who’s on a 12-month rolling contract at Parkhead – should wait till after Celtic face Inverness on this weekend’s showpiece at Hampden Park, with the Bhoys aiming to seal an eighth home treble.

At 57, the previous Australia and Yokohama Marinos boss doesn’t match the profile of an up-and-coming coach, within the mould of Mauricio Pochettino in 2014, that Spurs had initially hoped to rent.

However, he has restored Celtic’s home dominance since succeeding Neil Lennon in summer time 2021, and earned plaudits for his high-octane model of play, canny recruitment and charisma.
