Ange Postecoglou in Celtic FOREVER hope but boss insists long term deal means 'absolute jack'

Ange Postecoglou says he's planning to stay at Celtic "forever" - even if he knows that's not realistically going to happen.

The former Australia boss is a hero at Parkhead after winning a Premiership and Premier Sports Cup double in his first season.

Postecoglou helped wrangle the title back from Rangers at the first time of asking and is currently enjoying some downtime in his native Greece.

But he still found some time to talk to Aussie media outlet Sportsday Radio as he joked the grind "never stops."

He said: "Like I said mate, we never stop, even on the break!"

Postecoglou is officially out of contract but Record Sport reported he will be offered a new deal and he is widely expected to stay for some time to come.

And he's unconcerned about his situation as he says Celtic are "all he's ever wanted."

He said: “I’ve never worried about that. Long-term contracts in coaching really mean absolute jack, as anyone will tell you. In my career, I’ve never worried about my contract length or security.

“I work as if I’ll be there forever knowing that I won’t be.

"I’m really happy at the football club. I’ve had an amazing year and amazing support.

"It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a football club. It’s a massive club, it’s geared for success and I’m a pretty driven guy in terms of success. We’ve got Champions League football next year.

“Those are the kind of things that are important to me.

"Contracts and all those other factors just don’t enter my thinking. I’m very happy where I am and as long as the club want me to stay I’ll be around."
