Pep Guardiola reckons Tottenham have appointed an "exceptional manager" in Ange Postecoglou.
The former Celtic boss signed a four-year deal with the Premier League club on Tuesday.
Postecoglou made the quickfire switch to North London after sealing a domestic treble with Scottish Cup success last weekend.
And Guardiola reckons Postecoglou will do an "incredible job" at Spurs as he recalled meeting the Australian coach when he was Yokohama F Marinos boss.

The Manchester City manager also revealed his positive relationship with Celtic owner Dermot Desmond as he remarked on Postecoglou's move to Tottenham.
Guardiola has previously been pictured playing golf with the Celtic supremo.
Quizzed on Postecoglou's move, Guardiola commented: "Another exceptional manager is coming.
"I was lucky to meet him in Tokyo years ago when he was manager for Yokohama - one of our clubs in the City Football Group.

"It was an interesting chat and I have a good relationship with the owner for Celtic Glasgow.
"He did an incredible job and he will do an increible job at Spurs."
Guardiola then joked he's hopeful his City side will be able to score against Postecoglou's side in North London having failed to manage it so far.
He quipped: "Hopefully, we can score one goal away."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
