Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou suggests that he has no interest in a potential switch to Tottenham Hotspur.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has suggested that he has no interest in speaking about a potential switch to Tottenham Hotspur.

When Postecoglou arrived at Celtic in June 2021, his only experience of European football was at Greek side Panachaiki.

However, his stints at Yokohama F Marinos and Celtic has established the Australian as one of the most admired coaches currently working in Europe.

Such has been the 57-year-old's rise that he is now frequently linked with jobs in the Premier League, his style of football having received high praise North of the border.

Most recently, it has been claimed that Postecoglou will come onto the radar of Spurs if they part ways with Antonio Conte over the coming months.

On the back of exits from the FA Cup and Champions League, the Italian may leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when his contract expires in June.

Nevertheless, when quizzed on the topic at a press conference on Friday, Postecoglou was less than enthusiastic about commenting on Spurs.

Postecoglou told reporters, as quoted by BBC Sport: "It's not of interest to me. I don't wake up and get an early briefing on the latest gossip.

"The rest of it doesn't mean anything to me. It doesn't affect me or the people around me. Like most things, people want to have something to talk about."

In his second season in charge of Celtic, Postecoglou is attempting to win the domestic treble having already guided his team to the Scottish League Cup.

Celtic continue to hold a nine-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings having won 26 of their 28 matches during 2022-23.

Postecoglou is not the only name to be linked with Spurs with a recent report suggesting that five potential candidates have been identified.

Brighton & Hove Albion's Roberto De Zerbi, Brentford's Thomas Frank and Nottingham Forest's Steve Cooper have all joined Postecoglou in distancing themselves from links with Spurs.
