OFFICIAL: Spurs appoint Postecoglou as head coach after Celtic's domestic treble

Ange Postecoglou has been appointed Tottenham head coach on a four-year deal.

The Australian joins after two years at Celtic in which he was won back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles and a domestic treble this season.

Spurs held talks with Postecoglou, 57, on Monday after agreeing terms with Celtic to bring him to north London.

Postecoglou emerged as the preferred candidate last week with Spurs having considered Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi and Fulham head coach Marco Silva.

Former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is among the names being considered to replace Postecoglou at Parkhead along with ex-Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch.

Postecoglou succeeds Antonio Conte, who was sacked in March, as permanent Spurs boss. Cristian Stellini and then subsequently Ryan Mason stepped into the acting head coach role for the rest of the season.

Could Kane and Lloris leave Spurs this summer?

Carlo Ancelotti refused to be drawn on rumours linking Real Madrid to Harry Kane, after the club announced the departure of Karim Benzema over the weekend.

Benzema has left Real one year before his contract was due to end - with Kane strongly linked to being the France forward's replacement at the Santiago Bernabeu. Sky Germany reports that Chelsea's Kai Havertz is another name being considered by Real.

"Like I've said many times, Harry Kane is a great player and a great player of Tottenham," said Ancelotti of Kane, who has one year left on his deal at Spurs. We have to respect the player and Tottenham."

Asked what profile of forward Real are looking for, Ancelotti added: "We're looking for a striker that can score goals, that can play well with the others and link up well.

"Bearing in mind that we have two young players up front [Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo] that are starting to be more and more protagonists. So, we need a striker that can play good football, just like Karim did."

Meanwhile, Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris admitted he "desires for other things" and is contemplating what life could look like away from the north London club at "the end of an era".

The 36-year-old has a contract that would keep him at Spurs through to the end of next season. There has been speculation, however, that the goalkeeper might have already played his last game for the side he joined in 2012 following his season-ending thigh injury against Newcastle in April.
