Ange Postecoglou tipped for immediate new job after Tottenham sacking ...Middle East

Ange Postecoglou has been tipped to succeed Steve Clarke as the next Scotland manager.

The Australian is out of work after being axed as Tottenham boss last Friday despite leading the club to Europa League success.

Postecoglou oversaw a tumultuous campaign that saw Spurs finish just one place above the bottom three having fallen to a whopping 22 league defeats.

Despite that, the 59-year-old did his reputation no harm by ending Tottenham’s 17-year wait for a trophy with victory over Manchester United in Bilbao last month.

The victory will see Postecoglou inevitably gain suitors with a move back to Scottish football already being mooted.

He spent two years as Celtic boss between 2021 and 2023 winning five trophies including back-to-back Scottish Premier League titles while completing the domestic Treble in his final season.

Meanwhile, current Scotland manager Clarke has a little over a year left on his existing deal which takes him up until the end of next year’s World Cup.

Clarke has been in the post since 2019 and thrilled fans last year by steering his side to Euro 2020 qualification – their first major tournament appearance since the 1998 World Cup.

He backed up his heroics with Euro 2024 qualification however his current deal is likely to be his last.

Discussing Scotland’s next move on talkSPORT, former striker Ally McCoist believes Postecoglou would be a more than able replacement for Clarke.

“He’d do me absolutely. I wouldn’t have a problem with it at all. He wins things,” McCoist said.”

“Steve Clarke has done an excellent job for Scotland and hopefully he can get us over the line in the [World Cup] qualifiers against Denmark, Greece and Belarus.

“It’s a good group for us,” the former Rangers ace said. “We’ve got a good opportunity of doing well in the qualifiers but moving on if you’re asking me if I’d have a problem with Big Ange managing the national team? I wouldn’t have a problem at all.”

McCoist has maintained his backing for Postecoglou in the face of his recent sacking with Brentford manager Thomas Frank set to take over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fans were split on whether the Aussie should have been given a third season in the dugout after landing an ever-elusive trophy.

McCoist was firmly in the ‘Ange in’ camp claiming that although the league season was unacceptable, there was more to be positive about than the other way round.

“I don’t think it was the right decision to get rid of Ange, to be honest with you. That’s the first thing I would say. I know the league position is unacceptable, I totally get that.

“But I felt he made it crystal clear that he threw all his eggs in one basket towards the end of the season, Jeff, in my opinion. I think he was unlucky with injuries as well,” McCoist added.

“That said, the level of performance in the league was not good enough or anything like good enough. I understand that. However, the pluses for me far, far, outweigh the minuses.

“You know, to win a European trophy, to win a trophy, first trophy in 17 years, first European trophy in I don’t know how many years, and get them into the Champions League next year. I thought it gave him enough credit at the bank to keep his job, at the very least.

“Clearly that’s not the case. I think Thomas Frank, he’s proved himself at Brentford, he’s a more than capable coach and manager. I can see that happening, I can see him moving on to certainly a bigger club in the shape of Tottenham.

“I think he’s probably due his chance, he’s due his opportunity with the job he’s done, but I still think it’s harsh on big Ange, I really do.”
