Harry Kewell on Celtic 'no brainer' as he reveals the Ange Postecoglou call that saw him snub another job

Harry Kewell admits he knew that Celtic was the right move for him after just one phone call with Ange Postecoglou after arriving as first-team coach.

The Hoops boss managed to convince his fellow Aussie after speaking to him just the once, despite the coach already having an offer on the table at another club. The 43-year-old has arrived as Postecoglou bolsters his back-room staff ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, with Stephen McManus taking on a role with the Celtic Colt team in the Lowland League.

Kewell’s admission sounds pretty familiar, though. Matt O'Riley, Joe Hart and new goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist have all insisted it was Ange's powers of persuasion that saw them put pen to paper and make their way to Glasgow's east end. The Champions League winner and former Oldham boss also said that joining the Premiership title holders was a 'no brainer', stating that he has already been 'blown away' by the club.
