Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou revealed that he will not be taking a winter break as he aims to strengthen the squad to brace for the title race. He took charge for his 36th game against St Johnstone on Boxing Day. The Australian has already faced a number of highs and lows during his time with a lack of squad availability being the latest obstacle.
“No breaks,” Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou said. “We keep cracking on. There is plenty to do. We’ve been working on it for a while, knowing that we needed to strengthen the squad during January. This gives us a chance – with no games – to push along with that. Hopefully, we get some good news in the new year and bring some reinforcements in. It’s kind of been game-recovery for quite a while now. Just to be able to work with the players and work on our game and keep pushing and helping our game, it’s going to be a crucial time for us and for the players.”
“I’ve got some young ones who were causing chaos with their gifts from Father Christmas,” he added. “And that was great. But, look, I love what I do. I don’t need to switch off. It’s fine. I’ve really enjoyed the first six months, as challenging as it has been. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and I know there are massive challenges ahead so I’m looking forward to that. I’ve got plenty of energy. We’ll have plenty of time to switch off mate when I’m old and grey.”
