Bringing in Ange Postecoglou is the best decision Tottenham Hotspur have made in years.

The Aussie coach currently sits top of the table with Spurs – with the even more remarkable accomplishment that they’re still currently unbeaten in the Premier League.

He’s also getting the best out of players. Son Heung-Min is back to his very best, Micky van de Ven is a rock at the back and James Maddison is electric. The first-team squad is absolute fire at the moment.

This is why, to no surprise, big Ange is already being tipped to manage other sides – including an English top-flight rival.

Pundit tips Ange Postecoglou to succeed Erik ten Hag

One club that are in crisis at the moment is that of Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag has hit his first real hurdle at the club, which has led to many speculating United could axe him.

But who to replace him with? Well, Tottenham’s manager has been tipped by Celtic legend – Chris Sutton.

“Big Ange,” the ex-Celtic stated after being asked for the Dutchman’s potential successor on the It’s All Kicking Off podcast.

Naturally, with his Celtic roots, Sutton is a big fan of the Aussie. But could he actually take over the helm at Old Trafford? Absolutely not.

Ange Postecoglou was severely underestimated

“I don’t want to keep going on about big Ange,” Sutton adds. “But when he first came in at Tottenham, there was this campaign saying ‘hashtag Postecoglou Out’.

“Where are these people now? Where are you?”

He’s absolutely right. Postecoglou was laughed at as an appointment at the beginning of the season, now some of the world’s biggest clubs are already being speculated.

Tottenham achieved some remarkable business in the summer, and we are not talking about Van de Ven or Maddison. We’re talking about big Ange Postecoglou.
