Manchester City are braced to receive an official approach from Celtic to speak to coach Enzo Maresca, according to a report.
Ange Postecoglou arrived in the summer of 2021 at Parkhead but after two hugely successful seasons in Glasgow he has landed the top job at Tottenham on a four-year deal with the official announcement made this morning as Daniel Levy lands his man.
The Scottish champions confirmed in a statement released over Postecoglou's departure that they've already started the hunt for his successor and Football Scotland now report that staff at the English Premier League champions are expecting to return to the table for the Italian after being interviewed for the role at Parkhead a couple of years back.

The 43-year-old has been continued to be monitored by Champions League chiefs and are reported to be interested in speaking with him once again.
He's currently working hard behind the scenes with Pep Guardiola as they prepare for the Champions League Final his weekend. They've already bagged the league title and FA Cup and could complete a historic Treble with a win over Inter Milan.
The same report states Celtic will make tentative contact with Etihad chiefs this week and pick up talks in more detail once the big Euro final has been and gone.
A Celtic statement read: "Following the announcement today that Ange Postecoglou is to join Tottenham Hotspur FC, Celtic Football Club wishes him well for the future.
"The process of appointing Celtic’s next football manager is already underway. While we will aim to announce this appointment to supporters as soon as possible, our priority will be to appoint the best candidate to take the club forward."
