Ange Postecoglou Considering Surprise Move After Tottenham Exit

Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou may be heading for an unexpected return to the dugout, with Saudi side Al-Ahli showing interest in appointing the Australian.

Reports claim that contact has been made as the club considers options should current manager Matthias Jaissle depart.

Just over two weeks ago, Postecoglou delivered European silverware for Tottenham by securing the Europa League. However, that success wasn’t enough to save his job.

Ten days after lifting the trophy, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy dismissed him following a disastrous league campaign that saw the London club slump to 17th in the Premier League table.

The decision to part company with the former Celtic boss sparked strong reactions. While some backed the move, many supporters and players voiced their appreciation for Postecoglou, with several members of the squad paying tribute to his work and leadership.

Now without a club, the 59-year-old finds himself evaluating the next stage of his career.

Al-Ahli are monitoring the situation closely as uncertainty surrounds Jaissle’s position, even after the German coach guided them to the AFC Champions League title last month.

Postecoglou is understood to be weighing up several proposals. While the Middle East offer is on the table, interest remains in both England and mainland Europe.

His preference is thought to be a fresh opportunity in the Premier League, though the financial package on offer from Saudi Arabia could prove influential.
