Ange Postecoglou, the former Celtic boss, had a heartwarming moment with Ally McCoist after his Europa League triumph. Despite facing criticism this season while managing Tottenham and sitting 17th in the Premier League, Postecoglou fulfilled his promise of winning something in his second season at the club. The Europa League final pitted Spurs against Manchester United, with both teams considered underachievers in the EPL.
The match ended with Spurs emerging victorious, thanks to Brennan Johnson’s goal at the end of the first half. Postecoglou, reflecting on his promise and discussing his future post-match, faced rumors of being sacked despite his trophy success. Celtic and other clubs congratulated him, recognizing his achievements in Glasgow. McCoist defended Postecoglou after the latter’s outburst at a reporter who made questionable comments before the final.
McCoist, who was on co-commentary duty for TNT Sports, shared a touching moment with Postecoglou on the pitch after the game. The pair embraced and exchanged words of congratulations, showing mutual respect despite their differing club allegiances. The hug lasted for some time, highlighting the bond between the two men from opposite sides of the Glasgow divide.
