# Celtic: Harry Kewell set to join as first-team coach

**Former Australia international Harry Kewell is set to join [Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) as a first-team coach, according to reliable journalist Anthony Joseph.**

### The Lowdown: Ange working his magic

Ange Postecoglou has enjoyed a fantastic first year as Hoops manager, inspiring his side to [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) glory and also winning the Scottish League Cup.

The 56-year-old has put together a strong backroom team which has worked together in great harmony, with everyone at the club seemingly pulling in the same direction.

A new coaching appointment now looks to be on the cards, and the man involved is a familiar name to football followers in the UK.

### The Latest: Kewell set to come in

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/AnthonyRJoseph/status/1535377971736879105?s=20&t=8JLyA9GYxxkVkUzViflWsg) late on Friday night, Sky Sports reporter Joseph informed followers of Celtic’s planned transfer activity, while also touching upon a significant proposed addition to Postecoglou’s staff.

Among his numerous updates, the journalist tweeted:

### The Verdict: Shrewd appointment

This could prove to be an excellent appointment by Celtic, with Postecoglou seeing his compatriot Kewell as someone who can bring fresh ideas to the table.

The 43-year-old has already managed Crawley Town, Notts County, Oldham Athletic and Barnet, with [38 wins from 121 matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kewell/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/49141) in his coaching career, so he has plenty of experience which should stand him in good stead.

Furthermore, Celtic’s players could also learn from Kewell in terms of his ability on the training pitch, given his standing as arguably Australia’s [greatest player of all time](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2931/go-global/2012/07/13/3238656/harry-kewell-named-australias-best-ever-footballer-at-gala), having [scored 17 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kewell/profil/spieler/3241) for his country and [won the Champions League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kewell/erfolge/spieler/3241) with Liverpool in 2005. He also starred for the Leeds team which reached the [semi-finals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kewell/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3241/saison/2000/wettbewerb/CL/verein/399) of that competition four years previously.
