Former Celtic Manager Ange Postecoglou Set to Join ITV as World Cup Pundit

You will do well to find a Celtic fan who isn’t an absolutely huge fan of Ange Postecoglou.

During his two years at Celtic, he won five trophies, and did so playing an incredibly attractive brand of football that excited the supporters. It was also no gimme to sweep up the silverware, considering the Hoops had finished 25 points behind Rangers when he took over.

Most fans did not begrudge his departure, with opportunities to manage in the Premier League not something that comes up very often. It was a reward for his hard work coming all the way from an immigrant in Melbourne to the top level of domestic football.

He also just understood what it meant to be a Celtic manager. After a win over Rangers in 2022, he mentioned how there would have been a lot of fans in the crowd with problems in their personal lives, yet they were able to forget about it for 90 minutes. A proper football man, a proper Celtic man.

Owing to how much of a football man Ange is, he is set to be a pundit as part of ITV’s World Cup coverage this summer. Since leaving Nottingham Forest earlier this season, he has actually worked in punditry, appearing on Gary Neville’s Stick to Football podcast, and as part of TNT Sport’s FA Cup coverage.

In fact, Ange actually worked as a pundit for ITV during Euro 2024, despite being in work as the Spurs manager at the time. As a very popular former Celtic manager, it will be interesting to see whether or not he works on one of the Scotland games.

There is also his native Australia whose games he could work on. There won’t be an opportunity to cover his motherland of Greece, as Scotland knocked them out of qualifying. Whichever games he is working on, you can be sure Celtic fans are eager to hear what he has to say.
