Officially, Ange Postecoglou is the newest hire for the Tottenham position.
Tottenham threatened to go through a lengthy managerial search once more, as was the case in 2021, after Arne Slot appeared to use the club's interest as leverage in contract discussions with Feyenoord.
While some fans aren't happy with the path Spurs have taken this time around, at least they have their new manager in place before the summer transfer market opens for business. Spurs' search two summers ago was nothing short of a joke.
There is no disputing the risks associated with hiring Postecoglou given the sheer magnitude of the challenge that faces the 57-year-old Australian, despite the fact that he is a very likeable man and might help facilitate the style of game Spurs supporters prefer.
With a difficult path ahead, the fan base will need time and patience, and Postecoglou may look for familiarity in an effort to make the transfer to the Premier League easier. He might bring the following four Celtic players to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.
Since he joined Yokohama F. Marinos in 2018, Ange has been committed to a 4-3-3, so it's reasonable to anticipate that the Australian will use it in north London.
Rodrigo Bentancur is presently rehabbing from an ACL tear, so there aren't many midfielders on the Spurs roster who can succeed as a box-to-box number eight. You may contend that Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele, who are the two most qualified for the positions, will be let go this summer.
Postecoglou may attempt to reconcile with converted striker Hatate, who was perhaps the most impressive performer in the Scottish top flight during the Australian's two years at Celtic Park. There are other choices, such as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Pape Matar Sarr.
Spurs need depth in wide areas because Lucas Moura is leaving and Bryan Gil's future is uncertain. This need will increase if Richarlison is asked to take Harry Kane's place in the starting lineup once Kane leaves.
Jota, who impressed during the big man's two years at Celtic, could therefore be a comfortable choice for Postecoglou. In 62 appearances, the Benfica academy graduate has contributed to 41 goals in the Scottish Premiership.
