Tottenham Hotspur are expected to announce the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as the club’s new head coach today, with the Australian having agreed a four-year contract, according to The Athletic.
The length of the contract is something of a surprise after it was reported by other news outlets including The Guardian that the 57-year-old had given his approval to an initial two-year deal with the option of a further season.
Postecoglou was currently on a one-year rolling contract at Celtic, where he led the Bhoys to their eighth domestic treble last weekend following their 3-1 victory in the Scottish Cup final.
The report claims that Tottenham were seeking Antonio Conte‘s replacement to be someone who can re-energise the style of play which had become frustrating to watch under the Italian while also instilling cultural change around the club.
According to a previous report from The Athletic, Conte had lost the dressing room before his exit with it suggested that the general mood in the camp was lower than during the final stages of Jose Mourinho’s reign at Spurs.

A four-year contract will have been a significant show of trust by Daniel Levy in Postecoglou to head up the revamp of Tottenham which has become stale since the latter stages of Mauricio Pochettino‘s tenure.
Considering the Australian is used to working on a twelve-month basis, this is a massive change in his own personal situation and it will be interesting to see if Spurs have included any break clause at any stage of the contract or could face another hefty pay-out if he fails to make an impression in north London.
