# Celtic: Pundit discusses potential Ange Postecoglou exit

**Clubs will be looking to snap up triumphant [Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) manager Ange Postecoglou this summer with his contract running out, according to [regular talkSPORT pundit](https://icdb.tv/stats/1628/Danny-Mills) Danny Mills.**

### The Lowdown: Postecoglou’s first season at Celtic

The Australian replaced Neil Lennon as Hoops manager last summer and he has made an incredible impact, winning the [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) title at his first attempt.

Postecoglou has become an instant hero at Parkhead, with his personality shining through and his brilliance as a manager [not going unnoticed by supporters](https://www.sportingnews.com/au/soccer/news/celtic-fans-salute-immortal-ange-postecoglou-after-scottish-premiership-triumph/nloobzybqcokx4kjpcouwicv).

However, his current contract [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ange-postecoglou/profil/trainer/11929) at the end of May, having only signed a [rolling one-year deal](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56634729).

### The Latest: Mills discusses possible Postecoglou exit

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-vulnerable-to-losing-ange-postecoglou-cheaply-after-contract-update-pundit/), Mills claimed that there would be interest from other clubs if Celtic fail to tie down Postecoglou’s future. He outlined:

> “With a 12-month running contract there will be other teams looking at him and thinking ‘Hang on, where else can he do it?’
>
> “He’s effectively out of contract so clubs can get him in relatively cheaply. They should try and tie him down. He’s proved what he can do.
>
> “He brought in players who he knew which is vitally important. There were a few raised eyebrows to start with where people weren’t sure about the players from the J-League and questioned whether it was going to work. They’ve been sensational.
>
> “He’s done it on a reasonable budget as well so other clubs will be looking and thinking ‘Oh, we’ll have this guy’. I think Celtic would be wise to tie him down for a couple of seasons at least.”

### The Verdict: Surely he stays?

It would be devastating for Celtic to lose Postecoglou after just one year, having made such a massive impact in the space of just 12 months in charge.

The 56-year-old is surely happy at the club, as illustrated by his [emotional speech](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1610390/Celtic-Ange-Postecoglou-title-win-fans-go-wild-over-epic-speech) amid Saturday’s Premiership trophy celebrations, and a new contract offer must come his way in the next few weeks, when hopefully it will just be a case of all parties agreeing on it.

It would be a huge shock, and indeed a massive blow, if Postecoglou suddenly goes elsewhere, and Celtic will certainly be playing a risky game if they allow the uncertainty to drift on for much longer.
