Ange Postecoglou 'agrees' Celtic personal terms as next boss appointment edges closer

Celtic frontrunner Ange Postecoglou has reportedly agreed personal terms ahead of being confirmed as Parkhead boss.

The former Australia manager remains the red-hot favourite to become Neil Lennon 's permanent replacement for days and it appears the deal is on the verge of being completed.

It is now being reported that personal terms have been agreed between the 55-year-old and Celtic.

The Scottish Sun claim that following an agreement over a compensation package with Yokohama F Marinos a deal has now been struck.

The deal looks to be confirmed in the coming days but the incoming boss will additionally have to self isolate when he arrives in Scotland due to Covid restrictions.

The squad will reconvene for pre-season and travel south of the border to Wales ahead of their Champions League qualifiers, with the friendly fixture list starting against Sheffield Wednesday on July 7.

Due to a career spent coaching outside of Europe, Postecoglou doesn’t hold the required UEFA Pro Licence required for him to take the job.

Celtic are looking for an exemption for Green-born coach given his vast 25 years experience in the game where he has managed Australia at the World Cup and have applied to the governing body.
