Postecoglou backs Rodgers to make Champions League impact at Celtic

Ange Postecoglou backed 'outstanding manager' Brendan Rodgers to bring success to Celtic.

The new Tottenham head coach made the move to north London at the end of the season after securing the domestic treble for the Parkhead club.

During two years of success where Postecoglou won five out of six domestic trophies, Rodgers kept in touch.

The former Leicester boss has returned to the Hoops hot-seat for a second spell and is looking to make his mark in the Champions League, where, as cinch Premiership champions, Celtic will enter at the group stage next season.

At his first Spurs media conference, Postecoglou spoke about the Northern Irishman’s return to Glasgow.

He said: “He’s absolutely the right man. He’s a fantastic manager and he loves that football club.

“He was constantly messaging me while I was Celtic manager to make sure that I stayed on track and we had success.
