Dwight Yorke backs Ange Postecoglou to be a success with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League

Dwight Yorke has backed Ange Postecoglou to be a success at Tottenham, insisting football fans and experts shouldn't be surprised to see him make his mark in the Premier League.

Postecoglou was officially unveiled as Spurs new manager on Tuesday after signing a four-year deal to become the first-ever Australian manager in the Premier League's history.

Tottenham had been looking for a new permanent manager since sacking Antonio Conte in March, with Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason taking up roles as interim coaches over the next two months.

A move for Feyenoord boss Arne Slot fell through at the last hour, as the Dutchman committed himself to the Eredivisie side, and attention soon turned to Postecoglou, who won five out of six domestic trophies available in two seasons at Celtic.
