Ange Postecoglou details Celtic texts with Brendan Rodgers as he admits he's 'absolutely right man'

Ange Postecoglou has admitted for the first time his Celtic stay was never going to be long-term - as he detailed his texts with Brendan Rodgers.

The former Hoops gaffer has taken on the challenge of the English Premier League with Tottenham following two seasons in Glasgow. During his time in Scotland he won five trophies from a possible six domestically including a Treble in his final campaign. His work in the transfer market was also lauded across the board with the likes of Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi, Liel Abada, Matt O'Riley, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota - since sold for a big fee to Al-Ittihad - arriving under his watch.

The 57-year-old - who spoke with the English media for the first time yesterday - admitted he's always tried to move on from clubs while they are a success as he labelled the decision to depart the Scottish champions as a 'tough' one. But he is sure they've 'absolutely' got the right man in Rodgers as he revealed the duo exchanged messages constantly during his time in charge and still remain in contact even now.
