# Celtic: Leeds yet to make approach for Ange Postecoglou

**Leeds United are yet to make an approach for [Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) manager Ange Postecoglou, according to Phil Hay for [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4184783/2023/02/11/leeds-manager-hunt-orta/).**

### The Lowdown: Postecoglou linked with Leeds

The Whites were quickly [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/whites-ange-postecoglou-interest/) with a move for the Hoops boss after parting ways with Jesse Marsch last Monday. The Australian was believed to be on the radar at Elland Road, with recent [reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-ange-postecoglou-manager-update/) suggesting that a move was still possible.

Postecoglou has [admitted](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64614255) that he will not be distracted by the “noise” of rumours linking him with a move to the Premier League, and it seems as if Leeds are yet to make an official move for the 57-year-old.

### The Latest: No approach for Postecoglou – so far

Reliable Leeds reporter Hay shared a story for [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4184783/2023/02/11/leeds-manager-hunt-orta/) on Saturday regarding Leeds’ search for a new manager.

When it came to Postecoglou, the reporter claimed that no approach has been made so far, although ‘Leeds are not oblivious to the Australian’s impact at Parkhead’.

### The Verdict: Fingers crossed that he stays

Postecoglou has transformed Celtic after taking over in the summer of 2021, taking them back into the Champions League group stage after a [five-year absence](https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/soccer/news/celtic-champions-league-group-draw-fixtures-teams-2022-23/geurn4hzkjlkekzo5muqagwh), and it does feel inevitable that he will take on a Premier League job at some point.

However, Celtic will be hoping that now isn’t the right time for him to exit, with the Hoops on course for back-to-back [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) titles under the 57-year-old.

Postecoglou’s [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.com/ange-postecoglou/profil/trainer/11929) at Parkhead does expire in the summer, so it could be a wise move by club chiefs to try and extend that deal and potentially insert a release clause, should both parties wish to do so.
