Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has reportedly decided to snub any approach from Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Lowdown: Brighton rumours
There has been speculation regarding Postecoglou’s future at Parkhead after Graham Potter left Brighton for Chelsea last week. The Seagulls are now on the hunt for a new manager, with Postecoglou thought to be a ‘key target’.
However, it looks as if the Australian has made a call on his immediate future that will hopefully end speculation ahead of the Hoops’ Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk tomorrow evening.
The Latest: Postecoglou ‘not interested’
The Scottish Sun relayed an update from The Sunday Telegraph in the last 48 hours regarding Postecoglou and the possibility of a Brighton move.
They claimed that the Hoops boss is ‘not interested’ in the vacancy on the south coast and has decided he will snub any approach.
The Verdict: Brilliant news
Several Celtic supporters may have been slightly worried when they heard the news linking Brighton with a move for Postecoglou, however, knowing he is not keen on a move south will be welcome news for everyone associated with Celtic.
The 57-year-old has transformed the Hoops over the last 12 months and appears to only have just got started at Parkhead, so hopefully, Brighton won't try their luck with a formal approach and Celtic officials may potentially want to discuss a new long-term deal with Postecoglou following the recent speculation.
