Contact update emerges with Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou deemed perfect fit at Leeds United
Leeds United have reportedly not made contact with Celtic for their manager Ange Postecoglou as they eye a quick replacement for Jesse Marsch.
According to the Daily Record (08/02, page 52), the Greek-Australian boss has been deemed a perfect fit at Elland Road given his style of football.
The Celtic hierarchy believe that he is happy and committed to working at the club and winning them another league title.
Worth considering
While the competition there is low, it’s fair to say that Postecoglou has enjoyed a very good start to life in Glasgow and won the title in his first season there.
He’s played an exciting brand of football and has introduced youngsters to the senior side and most importantly has managed to keep rivals Rangers at bay.
He’s got an 82 per cent win rate in the league and looks to be on course to win his successive league title as his side maintain a sizeable lead over their cross-town enemies.
Leeds must speak to at least three or four managers before making a decision and we’re expecting them to touch base for Postecoglou soon.
He is certainly worth talking to even if they have a favourite in mind as he could be available further down the line as well.
It remains to be seen which direction they go in with Andrea Radrizzani flying into the United Kingdom before an official decision is made.
