Only a ‘true believer’ in football in Australia would one day think an Aussie coach could be the manager of an English Premier League team. Ange Postecoglou is one such true believer who made it happen. He has coached club teams at the highest level in Australia, Japan, and Scotland, as well as the Young Socceroos, the Socceroos, and now, Tottenham Hotspur. Along the way, he has picked up 13 major trophies. Postecoglou is known for an uncompromising attitude favouring a possession-based play known as ‘Angeball’—the actual ‘beautiful game’—that looks good but may not necessarily get results, leading to frustration from fans and owners alike. Vince Rugari has written the definitive biography of Ange Postecoglou.
This session is suitable and free for young people aged 13-18.
