Ange Postecoglou Career

Postecoglou joined South Melbourne as a nine-year-old and went through the youth levels to play 193 games for them in the National Soccer League as a one-club player from 1984 to 1993. As a player, he was a member of their 1984 and 1990–91 championship teams, the latter as captain in a historic victory against rivals Melbourne Knights.

He was also a part of Hellas’ two Dockerty Cup victories. A tenacious defender, his top-flight career was cut short due to a knee injury. He is regarded as one of the finest South players of all time, and he was known for his quick quickness and ability to attack from a defensive position.

Yokohama’s belief in Postecoglou was rewarded during the 2019 season when he guided the club to their first J. League title in 15 years. In doing so, he became the first Australian manager to win a league title in Japan.

Two weeks after Australia qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, on 22 November 2017, Postecoglou announced his resignation as Socceroos coach.

On 19 December 2017 Yokohama F. Marinos announced they had appointed Postecoglou as head coach at the Succession of the 2017 Japanese Emperor’s Cup. Posecolgou’s first domestic game as coach of Yokohama ended with a 1–1 draw against Cerezo Osaka at Yanmar Stadium, Osaka.

Postecoglou coached Australia in 2015 AFC Asian Cup. Australia beat Kuwait (4–1) and Oman (4–0), but lost to South Korea (0–1) in the group stage, before beating China (2–0) in quarter-final and United Arab Emirates (2–0) in the semi-final. Australia then beat South Korea (2–1) in extra time to win in the final to win its first AFC Asian Cup.

Postecoglou’s first game in charge of Melbourne Victory was the Round 1 clash against crosstown rivals Melbourne Heart, an encounter which the Victory lost 2–1.

Postecoglou coached Panachaiki in the Greek third division from March to December 2008. Despite keeping the traditional club well within contention for promotion, and more precisely in the top three for most of the season, a falling out with club management ended his tenure in Patras.

Following his domestic coaching success, Postecoglou became coach of Australia’s youth sides in 2000. During his tenure, he played a role in identifying and developing Australian players. Postecoglou was involved in an on-air argument with football pundit Craig Foster on The World Game.
