“He has a strong track record of developing players and an understanding of the importance of the link from the academy – everything that is important to our club. We are excited to have Ange join us as we prepare for the season ahead.”
The 57-year-old ex-Australia international, who guided the Scottish Premiership club Celtic to a domestic treble this season, will replace Antonio Conte as Spurs’ permanent boss.
The club were linked with Feyenoord’s Arne Slot, Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso and former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann before landing on Postecoglou.
