Ange Postecoglou has left Celtic. But his legacy and stamp remains.
And the Aussie’s outstanding work over two years in Glasgow’s East End has left the door open for the club to look high on the managerial ladder in the hunt for his successor. When Postecoglou was appointed, he faced a massive team rebuild. Squad members such as Odsonne Edouard, Ryan Christie and Kristoffer Ajer were departing for England, loan players were going back to their clubs. An overhaul was necessary.
Fast forward two years and Postecoglou has left in place an exciting young side packed full of value. On long contracts offered by the club, there are triple-digit millions worth of assets residing within the dressing room. In addition, Postecoglou’s first competitive games were qualifiers for the Champions League. That’s not an issue now with the Aussie’s first title win putting Celtic straight into the groups this season and his second flag returning them back to the big stage for next term. On top of all that, Postecoglou’s move to one of England’s biggest clubs shows that pathway is there to top jobs in elite leagues.
