Ange Postecoglou has reinvigorated Celtic football club in the 2021/22 campaign. The Greek-Australian manager was known to few supporters of the club when appointed. However, through the similarities he shares with Celtic’s background, his distinctive charisma and implementation of free-flowing, attacking football, he has got the backing of the masses. Postecoglou has delivered Celtic’s tenth title in eleven years and today, I’ll be educating you on a man whose name you will be hearing a lot more often over the next few years.

The 2020/21 season was meant to be one in which Celtic would attain one of their greatest achievements. Their tenth Scottish Premiership title in a row lay in wait as did the history books for the players and staff who could aid the club in reaching this monumental landmark. However, it was ultimately one of the club’s worst seasons in the modern era as Covid and fan lockouts combined with gross mismanagement caused a train wreck of a campaign to ensue.
The Hoops would eventually finish a colossal twenty five points behind their city rivals Rangers who would win their first major trophy since re-emerging from the depths of the Scottish lower divisions. As well as failure in the league, Celtic were knocked out of both domestic cups before the quarter final stage. Also, there was misery on the continent with the Bhoys finishing bottom of a Europa League group consisting of AC Milan, Lille and Sparta Prague.
These factors combined meant the summer of 2021 was going to be a cosmic one in Glasgow’s east end. Wholesale change was needed and the failed pursuit of Eddie Howe as manager led to discontent amongst fans. As a result of the failure to entice the now Newcastle boss North of the border, the hierarchy at Celtic turned their attention to other targets. And in doing so, they would appoint a man who would transform the football club, both on and off the field, in the space of less than a year.
