McGowan makes big claim over Ange’s agent

Stephen McGowan has claimed that Ange Postecoglou’s agents have been urging Daniel Levy to take a punt on the Celtic boss.

Frank Trimboli heads up CAA Base and is one of the best connected agents in the business with a range of high profile clients in and around football.

CAA Base represents Richarlison and Hueng Min Son who are currently at Spurs as well as Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier and Deli Ali who have all been sold by Levy.

By its nature the job of an agent is to push the case for their client- something that Trimboli did successfully two years ago when Postecoglou was appointed by Celtic.

McGowan has a track record for being very well informed over what is going on in and around Celtic, in the Daily Mail he reports:

ANGE Postecoglou insists he is blanking calls from his agents in the run-up to the Scottish Cup final.

The Celtic manager is on a shortlist of candidates for the Tottenham Hotspur job, along with former Spain coach Luis Enrique and Fulham’s Marco Silva.

Bookmakers have stopped taking bets on the Australian moving to north London amidst expectations that Spurs will make their move after tomorrow’s cup final against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Close to Daniel Levy, Postecoglou’s agents have urged the Spurs chairman to take a punt on the 57-year-old despite opposition amongst supporters.

Insisting he has not spoken to representatives Frank Trimboli or Leon Angel in the build-up to Hampden, however, Postecoglou claims his focus is firmly on leading Celtic to their fifth treble in seven years.

Compensating Celtic for the 12 month rolling contract that their manager is on won’t be any obstacle if Spurs decide to go for Postecoglou.
