FFA appoint Ange Postecoglou as Manager ahead of World Cup preperation!
After the sacking of Holger Osieck, FFA have worked tirelessly to find a new head coach to take Australia through preperation and into the World Cup in 2014. Many candidates were listed, some even tipped Sir Alex to take the post however a local manager was always favourite. Today FFA have announced that 2 time A-League championship winner Ange Postecoglou will take the post on a 5-year contract. This was expected due to the fact only 3 days earlier he had resigned from his job as Melbourne Victory manager ahead of the new season.
Ange was delighted with the news that he'll be taking the Socceroo's to the world cup in Rio and stated:
"It's a tremendous honour for me to be sitting here. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge that it's been a tough few weeks, but I am tremendously honoured to be in this position"
Ange was also questioned on whether he left Melbourne Victory because he knew that he was in line for the Australian job and he replied with:
"No I didn't leave Melbourne because I knew I was receiving this job, I left Melbourne because I feel it was not the right place for me, the board made it very hard for me to impose my strategies and bring in my own players and staff"
Does this mean Ange could potentially take up another job as a club coach, potentially overseas, will he remain in Australia and coach a team there or will he be happy with the Australia post and guide them with complete focus to the World Cup in Rio?
