Odds on Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou being the next Tottenham manager have been slashed to 15/8 from 7/2 with the Aussie the firm favourite for the Premier League job.
Brendan Rodgers follows behind at 4/1, while Julian Nagelsmann (11/2) and Luis Enrique (17/2) are other contenders.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Despite insisting he was only focused on Celtic’s treble bid this season, odds on Ange Postecoglou being the next Tottenham manager have been slashed to 15/8 from 7/2.
"The Aussie is the firm favourite to replace Antonio Conte, with Julian Nagelsmann 11/2 and Luis Enrique 17/2.”
The odds slash comes after Postecoglou savoured Celtic’s title party but insisted he needed no reinforcement of what his Parkhead role brings him.
The 57-year-old is reported to be high on Tottenham’s wanted list as they search for a new manager but Postecoglou remains focused on winning the treble with Celtic ahead of next weekend’s Scottish Cup final against Inverness.
“I don’t need any reinforcement, I feel it every day,” Postecoglou said. “I know it’s a special football club and I have had wonderful support from day one.
“I am enjoying it, I love being part of this football club but also I take the responsibility I hold very seriously.
“Days like today are about enjoying them, appreciating the great people I have got around me, the staff and my own family.
“These days are ones where you get the chance to appreciate what you have got. It’s a special day, we do trophy days well.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
