Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp heaped praise on Ange Postecoglou ahead of their meeting in the Premier League.
The two giant clubs go head to head at the weekend, with Postecoglou riding an initial wave of positivity since arriving in the summer.
Following a battling 2-2 draw against Arsenal away from home last weekend, Spurs are now looking to get one over Klopp.
The German told reporters: “Tottenham are doing really well Ange seems to be a top bloke.
“No [I've not met him] yet. But I'm looking forward to meeting him. I'm pretty sure everyone knew already when you saw Celtic playing in recent years.
“What kind of coach he is and who he is as a coach coming out to Tottenham where I think they were all desperate for some offensive football and he's delivering that obviously.
“In a year where Harry Kane left the club, he's doing extremely well. They're a well set up team. It's exciting to watch so yes, it will be a real test for both of us."
