"It’s great to finally get started as the manager of this great football club," he said. "I’m really looking forward to our task ahead.
"I think it’s an exciting opportunity for us to now set off in a new direction, play football and create an environment that embodies the values and traditions of this fantastic football club, hopefully a team you can all be proud of and, more importantly, get excited by.
"I can assure you that, right through pre-season, we won’t leave any stone unturned – myself, the staff and the players – to make sure that, when the league comes around, you’ll all be as excited as I am about the season ahead.
"I really look forward to seeing everyone at the stadium, in particular at our first home game, and look forward to the journey ahead."

Postecoglou will find out his opening Premier League match when the 2023/24 fixtures are released at 09:00 BST on Thursday 15 June. The season will start on 12 August.
