French giants also join race to sign Celtic manager
Ange Postecoglou is a man in demand. The Australian manager has enjoyed incredible success since arriving at Celtic in the summer of 2021 and will be challenging for his fifth trophy in two seasons this weekend, in the Scottish Cup final. It has put him on the radar of several top clubs as well.
The headlines have been dominated by the rumours linking Postecoglou with a move to Tottenham Hotspur. The Premier League giants are believed to have made the Australian their number one target for the vacant managerial job.
It is not hard to see why a club like Tottenham Hotspur might be attractive for Postecoglou. They are not the only big name club after his signature.
As reported by Get French Football News, Olympique de Marseille are looking for a new manager and they have two targets in mind: Postecoglou and Marcelino.

Marseille are a huge club as well and are set to finish third in Ligue 1 this season. But Igor Tudor will be leaving at the end of the campaign.
Just like Tottenham Hotspur, Marseille could be an attractive job for Postecoglou as well. At the same time though, he has to weigh up the risks of leaving Celtic before making any decision.
Leaving after just two seasons would hurt the legacy that he has built up at Parkhead as well as his special connection with the fans. Also, one would not expect him to have the influence at clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Marseille, that he has does at Celtic.
Also, Postecoglou has to have a look at the recent history of those two clubs. Legends like Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte have failed at Tottenham Hotspur and they have only won one trophy in this century. On the other hand, Marseille have had eleven managers over the past decade.
