His potential to follow the treble-winning Celtic managers is far too significant to let speculation about his future divert his attention from the Scottish Cup final on Saturday.
Postecoglou's club will win all six Scottish trophies if they defeat Championship powerhouse Inverness at Hampden, giving them a perfect sweep since he joined from Yokohama F Marinos in Japan in June 2021.
However, Postecoglou's future has been a major topic of discussion in the run-up to the game amid rumors that Tottenham would prefer to hire him as their next manager.
"Somebody else was favorite last week, wasn't he?" the 57-year-old questioned. As a result, it is ignored.
I understand the fascination and the appeal of speculating on such matters. However, to let my thoughts wander to anything other than getting our team ready for a huge day on Saturday would not be who I am. We have worked so hard to get to this point.
Postecoglou doesn't feel the need to address his team about the subject because he has been linked with many Premier League teams this season, including Leeds, Everton, Brighton, Crystal Palace, and Chelsea.
You make it sound like this is the first time it has ever occurred to me, he remarked. This dance has been performed several times this year. The players are fully aware of my opinions.
I'll approach it the same way I have in the past. Since my responsibility is to ensure that the team is completely ready for whatever the next challenge is, it doesn't cross my mind.
"If a cup final isn't enough to draw all of my attention to that, then nothing will be."
The former head coach of Australia, who has a 12-month rolling contract, also shot off inquiries about whether he had scheduled meetings with the club's management.
No, he replied, "because once more doing that would require me to organize, plan, and think about things other than Saturday."
"Look, I know it's your job to ask these questions since that's the position you have, but you don't have the same level of commitment to this football team as I do.
