In order to swiftly turn around Tottenham's fortunes, Postecoglou has a difficult challenge.
The appointment of Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou by Tottenham brings an end to their protracted search for a new head coach.
To swiftly change Tottenham's fortunes will be difficult for Postecoglou, who won five major titles in two seasons at Celtic, including the domestic triple this season.
The PA news organization looks at the 57-year-old's in-tray here.
Determining Harry Kane's future
The future of Kane is the most urgent matter Postecoglou must deal with in his first position as Premier League head coach. With one year remaining on his contract, the England captain has been linked to a number of top European teams, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich. Despite wanting assurances, Postecoglou will want Kane to stay. The 29-year-old can either go all in and stay or choose a new challenge and raise money to assist Tottenham in restocking their team. Postecoglou will need to make a decision quickly no matter what Kane decides.
Organize the changing room.
None on Tottenham's close to 30-man first-team roster has a contract expiring this summer, but many departures are to be anticipated. Anyone lacking in teamwork will not be allowed to join Postecoglou's squad since Antonio Conte publicly criticized his players' work ethic. Postecoglou is the former head coach of Australia. He needs to decide right away who he can count on to fully adhere to his values and techniques, and he needs to try to let those people go. Postecoglou laid the groundwork for Celtic's success with unity and passion, and he'll want to do the same at Tottenham.
Win over skeptics
While Luis Enrique, Arne Slot, and Roberto De Zerbi were reportedly on the club's list of objectives, Postecoglou was not the top choice of the majority of Tottenham fans, and there will be plenty of skepticism among those who had urged for the return of Mauricio Pochettino. Postecoglou needs to convince the skeptics and mend the players' rift with the irate fan base. At Celtic, where he first assumed leadership in a poisonous atmosphere, he succeeded in doing just that. However, will his recipe for success in the Scottish Premiership translate to the English top flight?
