Ange Postecoglou is reportedly keen on bringing his former Celtic colleagues, John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan, to North London.
The Daily Mail reports that Celtic and Spurs are still in talks regarding the coaches.
The Australian tactician, who recently took over the reins at Spurs, is looking to assemble a trusted team ahead of the pre-season.
Kennedy and Strachan, who worked under Postecoglou during his successful stint at Celtic, are seen as key additions to his coaching staff at Tottenham. The duo’s familiarity with Postecoglou’s coaching philosophy and methods could prove invaluable as Spurs look to rebuild and challenge for top honours in the upcoming season.
It is understood that both Kennedy and Strachan are keen on the move to Tottenham.
The club is currently in talks with Celtic to release the pair from their contracts.
The negotiations are crucial, as both coaches are under contract with the Scottish club, and any move would require Celtic’s agreement.
However, Tottenham is also keeping its options open. The club is understood to have interviewed external candidates for senior backroom positions, in case the move for Kennedy and Strachan falls through.
In the meantime, Ryan Mason, who served as interim head coach of Spurs towards the end of last season, has joined Postecoglou’s coaching staff. Mason’s familiarity with the club and its players will be a significant asset as Postecoglou begins his tenure.
