Ange Postecoglou's legacy rolls on as Celtic boss' Australian prodigy leads Yokohama to historic J-League title

Ange Postecoglou made it big in Japan - and his former apprentice has picked up where the Celtic manager left off with a famous J-League win.

Yokohama F. Marinos hadn't won the J League for 15 years until Postecoglou ended their trophy drought in 2019. The now Celtic manager's winning mentality is deeply rooted at the club as they scooped another league title in the early hours of this morning. Australian boss Kevin Muscat was at the wheel and he's already reportedly being lined up as a future manager of the Australian national team after his heroics.

With the title race going down to the final day, Yokohama's fate was in their own hands as they beat Vissel Kobe 3-1. A noteworthy player for the opposition was Yuki Kobayashi - who reports in Japan say is a transfer target for the Parkhead side. The centre-back started and was subbed off before Postecoglou's former side scored their second and third goals on their way to an historic victory.
