# Celtic: Journalist backs to Ange Postecoglou to sign new deal

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) will likely be working hard on sealing a new contract for Ange Postecoglou imminently, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.**

### The Lowdown: Ange working wonders

The Australian took charge at Parkhead last summer and has enjoyed an incredible start to life at the club, proving to be a hugely influential figure.

The 56-year-old won both the [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) and Scottish League Cup in his maiden campaign in Scotland, [quickly winning over](https://www.sportingnews.com/au/soccer/news/celtic-fans-salute-immortal-ange-postecoglou-after-scottish-premiership-triumph/nloobzybqcokx4kjpcouwicv) many Celtic fans in the process as the Hoops put the [misery](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/dec/02/celtic-manager-neil-lennon-hurt-fan-protests-ross-county-scottish-league-cup-milan-europa-league) of 2020/21 firmly behind them.

Worryingly, his one-year deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ange-postecoglou/profil/trainer/11929) on Tuesday, so a new contract needs to be sorted almost immediately.

### The Latest: New deal imminent?

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88013582-celtic-talks-will-be-ongoing-right-now-with-key-man-at-parkhead), O’Rourke claimed that the Celtic hierarchy will already be hard at work behind the scenes to ensure that Postecoglou does not leave any time soon. The journalist stated:

> “Celtic are hoping to build on this season and hopefully have Postecoglou around for quite a few years, so I’m sure talks will be ongoing right now to secure the Australian on a long-term contract and reward him for the success he’s had so far.”

### The Verdict: Simply has to happen

Frankly, the thought of Postecoglou suddenly leaving Celtic doesn’t even bear thinking about, considering the massive success he has already enjoyed in Glasgow.

It would be a huge surprise if that were to happen, though, and it is surely just a case of the manager and the club agreeing terms on a deal in the coming days, especially with the 56-year-old recently [speaking glowingly](https://www.67hailhail.com/news/ange-postecoglou-brilliantly-details-his-experience-with-the-celtic-fans/) about his time in Scotland so far.

Postecoglou seems happy at Parkhead and has Champions League football coming his way next season – the hope is that this is just the start for him at Celtic.
