Celtic frontrunner Ange Postecoglou claimed he would be successful wherever he goes next as he addressed links with a move to Europe.
The Australian coach is the frontrunner to be named Neil Lennon's permanent successor at Celtic after talks with first choice Eddie Howe spectacularly collapsed.
The potential move to the Premiership from the Yokohama F Marinos has raised eyebrows over whether he is ready for the move to European football.
However, in a resurfaced interview the former Australia national boss hit back at doubts over his pedigree.
When asked by Optus Sport about the chances of leaving the J-League for a job in Europe, he said: "I figured out pretty early; no point putting goals or ambitions in front of you.
"The football world is amazing where it can take you and I'll just see, I'll just see what happens after here.
"I've still got some things to do here (Yokohama) and then where the next step takes me mate, I don't think too much about.
"Wherever it is I'll do what I've always done and tackle it head on.
"I know I'll be successful. I don't say that sort of in an arrogant way, I just know that what I do and the way I get my teams to play and the belief that I can instil in people.
"The fact that I'm Australian or geography isn't going to stop me from believing I can succeed wherever I am."
