Celtic’s coaches will be expected to pay attention to the smallest details as Ange Postecoglou ’s former right hand man warned they’ll be out the door.
John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan will assist Postecolgou for the time being as he prepares Celtic for the new Scottish Premiership season.
However their long term futures remain in doubt with the new coach refusing to confirm whether they’ll be kept on.
And his ex-assistant Arthur Papas, who was part of his coaching staff at Yokohama Marinos, insists they won’t be if they don’t match the new man’s work ethic and level of ‘obsession’
"Ange is the type that scours through every bit of information,” he told Livescore.
"If you're a staff member there, you need to be on top of everything because you'll get questioned at times about 'what was the data on this?', 'what were the statistics on this player?'
"He is obsessed with his work.
"It doesn't matter how time progresses; he is just as obsessed as he's ever been in terms of details. There's a lot of work to get that engine going in the background to run that program in a way that he feels befits a world-class program."
Papas is convinced Postecoglou will turn Celtic around, if he’s given the time to do so.
He added: "Every job will have its challenge in the end. The main thing is they (Celtic) have got themselves a world-class manager. A manager with a very clear philosophy and someone given the time, like every manager needs.
"Some use that time extremely well and you see progression, and others unfortunately – because the path isn't so clear, doesn't go that way. But given the time, he will be successful there for sure. He will be successful in his own unique way.
"Then, there will be another step after that because that's just Ange.
"He doesn't settle for that place and get comfortable. When he has had a bit of success, he wants more. That's why he is special at what he does."
