Celtic have reached a verbal agreement with Ange Postecoglou to become their next manager.

The Scottish giants were heavily linked to former Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe.

But those talks broke down and Postecoglou has been the favorite for the post since.

According to Sky Sports, Postecoglou will likely leave his post at Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan, quarantine for ten days due to COVID-19 protocols, and then start work at Celtic.

Celtic and Yokohama have agreed on terms to release the 55-year-old from his contract, even though the Japanese team has not commented on the speculation surrounding their coach.
