IT has now been 500 days since Ange Postecoglou became manager of Celtic. At times, he feels it has flown by. At others, the Celtic manager has felt every minute of it. But the only thing that is certain is that he wouldn’t have swapped it for the world.
As milestones go it isn’t the most notable, granted, but given where he started from – and the many doom-mongering predictions of how his appointment might unfold at the time – it is one that still prompts a feeling of satisfaction from Postecoglou as he takes the rare chance to reflect on his Celtic journey so far.
It has been one that has been mainly marked by success, with a Premiership and League Cup double in his first season setting the benchmark by which his on-pitch performance will be measured. Personally though, he views his own success as something wider, being cognisant of his role as the club’s main representative.
