After a three year adventure Yokohama Marinos have posted an emotional farewell video to Ange Postecoglou.
At 9am on Thursday morning Celtic confirmed the news that the Australian had accepted the offer to become their new manager with Yokohama releasing the news at their end.
The former Australian international boss moved to Japan in February 2018 with a rollercoaster time peaking with the 2019 title win.

Whether Postecoglou is fully aware of the scale of the job that he is walking into remains to be seen.

After failing three seasons running from a seeded position in the Champions route expectations this season are low with a much of the club’s support feeling disconnected with the direction that the club is moving in.
