Postecoglou, set to be the first Australian to manage in the Premier League, will join Spurs on July 1 after two years at Celtic in which he was won back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles and a domestic treble this season.

Spurs have said Postecoglou’s coaching staff will be confirmed “in due course”.

Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, said of the incoming head coach: “Ange brings a positive mentality and a fast, attacking style of play.

“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.”

Spurs held talks with Postecoglou, 57, on Monday after agreeing terms with Celtic to bring him to north London.
