I cannot access the full content of that specific article from the search results provided. The search result [2] only includes the headline and opening sentence: "Celtic have Ange Postecoglou on their list of targets to become their next permanent manager, sources have told Football Insider." However, I can provide context based on the other search results about Ange Postecoglou and Celtic: According to the available information, **Ange Postecoglou has ruled himself out of returning to Celtic** as their permanent manager following Brendan Rodgers' resignation[1]. The 60-year-old Australian is reportedly taking a break from football to recuperate after his difficult period at Nottingham Forest, where he lasted only 39 days without a victory[1]. Despite this, **Celtic did reportedly approach Postecoglou about returning** after Rodgers' departure[4], but he declined due to his desire for a sabbatical from the sport[4]. Sources indicate that Postecoglou wants to distance himself from external pressures and carefully evaluate his next steps rather than immediately taking on another demanding position[1]. Postecoglou remains a beloved figure among Celtic supporters for his successful tenure from 2021 to 2023, during which he won two league championships and a Scottish Cup using his attacking "Angeball" style[1]. Former Celtic forward Chris Sutton has suggested fans would welcome his eventual return, though acknowledged it may not happen immediately[1]. The situation reflects Postecoglou's recent struggles, including his dismissal from Tottenham Hotspur in May despite winning the Europa League title, followed by an unsuccessful stint at Nottingham Forest[1].
