Ange Postecoglou Celtic blueprint that would improve Tottenham as Aussie hero makes 'step-up' claim

Ange Postecoglou would improve players at Tottenham Hotspur unlike Antonio Conte according to an Australian football legend.

Postecoglou's undeniable success at Celtic has brought his name in to the frame for top English Premier League jobs despite the Aussie insisting that his full focus is on Parkhead. The news that Antonio Conte has severed his sticky relationship with the North London side has led pundits to tout Postecoglou for the position at Spurs. The Aussie still has a potential Treble to secure in Glasgow.

But former top stopper Mark Schwarzer believes the Hoops gaffer would sort a key problem he has identified with Conte's reign at Spurs. Yet the ex-Socceroos international isn't sure whether Postecoglou would be 'remotely interested' but that his success in Glasgow and further afield would give him the tools he needs to thrive.

He told the GegenPod podcast on Optus Sport: "Ange would be a great signing (for Spurs) in the summer. Whether or not he would be remotely interested or not, who knows.

"I mean I suppose for Ange, and this is not trying to be disrespectful to Celtic and the league and that always happens, Celtic are a massive club. But the Premier League is, in my opinion, the best in the world.

"To be in that league, to be at a club that are a top six to eight team these days. I think for Ange that would be a big step-up.

"I think it would be a case of 'Okay, I want to have a say. Not necessarily being involved in every player that comes in through that door but I need to play a certain. These are the type of players I want.'

"For his system to work he needs to have a bit more of a say in the players they bring to the club. He wants a certain type of player all the time. I also think he can coach players. I think he changes players, he's got the ability to, and he's shown it, to make players better.

"We don't see a lot of that these days. Even the big name managers like Antonio Conte. Tell me a player that's actually better at Spurs? I don't think there's a single player since he has been there that has gotten better.

"That is something Ange does really well. If you go on that journey with him he wants you there, he improves players with the quality of football they play but as an individual."
