The Australian is out of management after his tough spell at Nottingham Forest earlier this season
Out of work Ange Postecoglou has teased a change of stance on returning to former clubs - after previously shutting down links to Celtic.
The Australian boss became a firm fan favourite as he scooped five of the six trophies available to him during his time at Parkhead boss. He signed off with a domestic Treble in 2023 before leaving to take charge of Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite leading the club to a fifth-place finish in his first season and following it up with a Europa League triumph, the 60-year-old was shown the door in North London last summer. Postecoglou is now working for UEFA's Technical Observer Panel after a nightmare stint at Nottingham Forest earlier this season.
Spurs are currently in free fall as the club plummet towards the relegation spots in the Premier League. Igor Tudor has lost his first four games after taking charge from Posteocoglou's successor Thomas Frank last month.
That slump led to Postecoglou being put on the spot by TNT Sports about a potential return to Spurs. He grinned in response: “No comment.
“I am still invested in the club because I have an attachment to those players, I worked with them for two years.
“The last time I interacted with the fans there was 200,000 on the streets of London.
“It pains me to see it. It definitely looks like the players are fairly lost at the moment. There’s obvious pressure there. It’s a really difficult time."
It marks a dramatic change of tune from his appearance on The Overlap when he was asked about going back to Glasgow's East End.
Martin O'Neill will leave his interim role as Parkhead gaffer at the end of the season, following an SOS to the 74-year-old by the club after Wilfried Nancy was axed.
He ruled out Celtic as his next club on the basis that he "doesn't go back" to former employers.
Postecoglou said: “In terms of going back, I don’t go back. I don’t think that’s been my career. Whatever the next step it’ll be something new.
"I loved Celtic. If I was younger, I probably would’ve stayed there longer. I think I could have made progress with them in Europe.
"The whole two years, I was within a community that was just so passionate, it'a crazy how passionate they are about their football club.
"I was fortunate we had success. It's a positive experience and I loved every minute of it. I look back on it fondly but I won't go back. Thats how my career's played out."
