Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp backed Ange Postecoglou to be the next Spurs boss last week.

"I said to a few people I thought he would be a frontrunner," he told BBC Scotland, external. "If I was looking for somebody, if I was the chairman of Tottenham, he would be right at the top of my list.

"I'm sure it'd be a big blow to the Celtic fans to lose him. But I don't know, he's leaving a great club in Celtic but maybe the Premier League, the contract, the wages and what goes with it might be hard for him to turn it down if he does get offered.

"I actually met Tim Cahill a few years back. I managed the Jordan national team for two games and we played Australia and Cahill came up and had a chat with me before the game. He said to me 'our manager is excellent, he's different class Harry, he's brilliant'.

"That stuck with me. It was interesting, he's played for a lot of top clubs, been a top player for so many years and played under loads of great managers and he's telling me about a guy I've never heard of from Australia, so I was quite shocked. But it stuck in my mind and I've followed his career and I think Tim was right, he is excellent."

BBC Radio 5 Live's senior football reporter Ian Dennis says Ange Postecoglou should be given a chance because his style of football is exactly what Tottenham fans want to see.

He said: "Having watched Celtic under Postecoglou, then any doubters will soon change their minds.

"Attacking, energetic and positive - his style of football will prove very popular with Spurs."

A lot of people have had their say on how they think Ange Postecoglou will do at Tottenham, including former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega.

He said: "I just can’t believe how much snobbery with some of the Spurs fans regarding Ange Postecoglou potential new appointment as a manager for Spurs. He will be a great appointment - especially how the club is at the moment - and hopefully the board follow his idea and support him."

Do you agree with the Australia coach - will Postecoglou kill it - or not?

He's got a challenge on his hands either way!

Australia coach Graham Arnold has backed Ange Postecoglou to do well at Tottenham.

Arnold knows Postecoglou well after working with him at the Australia U20 side.

Arnold said: "Just working with him you could see the obsession of football, he had that mentality of where he wanted to go - and that was to the top.

"He is totally obsessed with the game, it is his life.

"Ange has always been someone who is so determined to prove the doubters wrong."

He added: "Going to Tottenham is a great job for him and I think he will kill it.

"A lot of managers are managers, they are not coaches as well, but he has that dual role of coach as well as manager. He knows man-management and how to motivate people."

Angelos Postecoglou retired from professional football at 27 through injury. He won the Australian national championship (the great Ferenc Puskas was his manager) but always knew in his bones that coaching was where his future lay.

He won two national championships as manager of South Melbourne when everybody said he couldn't.

He coached at national under-age level but it was almost the end of him. He got sacked, had to go to the Greek third tier to find work, and then came back to Australia, to nothing.

Brisbane Roar took him on in 2009 and he created what some seasoned observers say is the best club side in the history of the Australian game. Fast and furious, never-stop football. That philosophy didn't start in Glasgow in 2021.

He won the league in 2011 and 2012, went to Melbourne Victory and then to the Socceroos, saw his team compete at the World Cup in 2014, won the Asian Cup in 2015, rebuilt the side and got them to another World Cup in 2018.

Japan beckoned. Not only did he win the J-League with Yokohama Marinos, he also soaked up all the knowledge in the world about a market that would prove spectacularly helpful in his next job - Celtic.

Here's five-year-old Ange Postecoglou, holding a card with the number 24 on it.

That was his immigration number when his parents took him out of the military junta regime of Athens, Greece to a safer but uncertain haven of Melbourne in Australia. That's where it all started. That's why the photograph has a poignancy.

The little boy is looking down the camera lens with the same kind of stare that many years later, as Australia coach, would regularly burn a hole in the back of the head of his players in training, said former Socceroo Tim Cahill.

His friend, Paul Trimboli, said Postecoglou doesn't say a lot, he doesn't make things comfortable for people, and for a lot of folk "that can be unnerving".

Even at five, you can see some of that in the picture. A steely look.

This was Angelos Postecoglou. Five years later his parents legally changed his name to Angelos Postekos, but he never cared for Postekos.

"It was a fad in those days to shorten your name if you were Greek," he said years ago.

"I never liked it and I never used it. I was proud of my background, but when it came to my first passport and my first driver's licence, there was nothing I could do about it."

Ange Postecoglou "deserves a crack" at the Tottenham job with what he has achieved in his career so far.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Scotland's Tom English said: "He's an astute manager. He understands what makes players tick, he commands respect, he has a presence, he's a motivator and he's got a good record in the transfer market.

"His mantra is 'we never stop'. He likes to play his fast, dynamic and energetic football amd I think he deserves a crack at it [at Tottenham].

"He's a tough cookie, he's not some kind of Australian Ted Lasso here, but he has an inspirational quality – he gets people and I think it will be fascinating to see how he does at Spurs."

It has been a turbulent season for the north London club, but English believes this is the type of situation Postecoglou can thrive in just as he did with Celtic.

"He loves a project and building something from the ground up rather than a steering job," he added.

"That's I think what he had at Celtic and that's I think what he has at Spurs today in terms of he needs to re-establish the identity of Spurs - what are Spurs about, what's culture at Spurs and he's very good at doing that."
