Charlie Nicholas who is best known for his time as a striker for Arsenal and Celtic has spoken about Ange Postecoglou. The Scotsman has urged Celtic to tie down Postecoglou with a long term contract and reward him with a budget.
Charlie Nicholas said: “The Australian joined last June on a 12-month rolling deal. But the club would be absolutely crazy if talks haven’t already started or been scheduled with their manager.
“Given what he has achieved in his first season in Scottish football – the league title all but sewn up to go with the Premier Sports Cup trophy bagged in December. Postecoglou merits a long-term arrangement.
“Parkhead chiefs need to get him tied up because he is at the heart of everything good that Celtic are doing and have done.
“Postecoglou’s reputation is growing.There is no doubt other big clubs will be looking at him, so Dermot Desmond’s top priority at the club should be rewarding his manager.
“I don’t think Postecoglou, above, will be pushing for a pay rise but it would be thoroughly deserved for the remarkable job he has done so far.
“Not only will Celts make tens of millions from Champions League group stage football next season. He has also built a squad of genuine value.
“The 56-year-old has already won top-flight titles in Australia and Japan. And Scotland will be next if Celtic take a point from Dundee United at Tannadice tomorrow.”
