In spite of ongoing rumors over Ange Postecoglou's future as Celtic manager, Carl Starfelt feels that he has made "very big steps" under his guidance.
The connection between the former Australia manager and Tottenham served as the backdrop to the Hoops' 3-1 Scottish Cup final victory over Championship side Inverness at Hampden Park on Saturday.
Dan MacKay's header was only a consolation as the Parkhead club achieved their eighth domestic triple, a world record, thanks to goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Liel Abada, and Jota.
Starfelt, who stated that he was unaware of what his boss meant to do, has enjoyed his growth as a player since fans hero Postecoglou brought the Sweden center-back from Rubin Kazan to Parkhead in June 2021.
Naturally, he brought me here, he said. He signed me as one of his first, and he has shown me a lot of faith.He has been great for me and my growth, and his style of play for center-backs is also progressing rapidly.
"He demands the very best from every player, which improves us, and I feel that I have been taking very big steps," she said. "So, obviously he has been really good for me and a lot of the players."
Starfelt acknowledged Postecoglou's wide-ranging effect at Celtic, where he arrived after the league title had shifted to Rangers and immediately wrested it back to the east end of Glasgow.
He entered the picture during a very trying time and oversaw the rebuild. We will just have to wait and see what transpires, I guess. He is simply an extremely fantastic manager, and everyone knows how essential he is to the team.He expressed his pride in everyone after the game.
"He is aware of the effort we have put out throughout the season, not only during games, by showing up to practice every day with a focused effort, which is necessary to succeed in this type of endeavor since it is not simple. We had to go through a lot to get here.Throughout the season, we have put in a lot of effort. I'm incredibly pleased and satisfied.
