Ange Celtic exit chatter leaves pundit baffled as he questions why Parkhead 'king' would take Premier League gamble

Australian pundit Robbie Slater has questioned why Ange Postecoglou would swap Celtic for the English Premier League as he declared him "king" of Parkhead.

Postecoglou is on the brink of leading the Hoops to a Treble this season having already claimed both the Viaplay Cup and Scottish Premiership crown, with only Inverness CT left standing in Celtic's way of a domestic clean sweep in the Scottish Cup Final. The title victory also sets up the club to go straight into the Champions League group stage once again next term, and that has only fuelled rumours swirling about a move away from Celtic Park for Postecoglou.

Pundits in Oz and in England have floated Postecoglou's name with a number of jobs with Chelsea, Tottenham and Leeds United all being mentioned as potential destinations for the 57-year-old. But Slater – who won the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers in 1995 – reckons it could be a misstep to take the jump to England's top flight.
