Kenny Dalglish believes Celtic must go for a manager with the same philosophy as Ange Postecoglou but insists his successor must improve the club’s European record, setting them a target of third place in their Champions League group.
The Parkhead, Scotland and Liverpool legend refused to place the Aussie for taking the Tottenham Hotspur job and has looked at the several names linked with the post - a list that has reached double figures as the Hoops hierarchy face the tough task of replacing a man who picked up five out of six domestic trophies on offer during his two years.
And, writing in his Sunday Post column, Dalglish said: “I don’t see the sense in going for something completely different. Of course, the new guy will want to bring in his own players and rightly so but I think it’s likely to be someone with similar philosophies to Ange. There is no doubt that the team needs to be strengthened and there should be good finances available to do it but there doesn’t need to be an overhaul. It could well be that because of the great success Ange had, it might put one or two off following in his footsteps. What if the manager only wins the double next year. Does that make him a downgrade?
