Why the future of sports looks like Ange Postecoglou

- In June 2023, Tottenham Hotspur made Ange Postecoglou the first Aussie to manage in the Premier League, but he's been doing big things for a LOT longer than that. Who is the man that's had his teams compared to Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, and why did it take so long for him to reach the top?

I watched every game he managed at Celtic, and he's the only coach in any sport ever that I'm excited to watch his press conferences. He's so impressive, wish him nothing but success.
Hope you’ll keep watching him with us at Spurs 🤝
Same 😅 My real dad
@@gutika113hope he relegates spuds
Never watched Jose or Pep?
@udayonsen1687 not as fun...
There are 3 essentials to great leadership: " Humility, Clarity, Courage." Ange has them all.
ACCOUNTABILITY and VISION (which is akin to clarity I guess..)
Ange’s success is no surprise to any of us in Australia. Not only are his teams successful, they are a joy to watch too. I see nothing but success for Spurs as long as they give him time.
It’s a very well researched video - well done.
Tottenham fans are already loving his work so far, we don’t expect much, but a team with a progressive approach is what we need
From Down Under to the Firths - That's the way our anglosphere has to be. We Canucks got the Aussie's backs.
Best part of Ange was making Craig Foster look like the fucking muppet we all knew he was.
I agree - a most thoughtful video.
Western suburbs sunshine Melbourne Victoria 1994
A fabulous summary of Ange’s formative years, experience and ethos. Just one point, easily overlooked. Ange was injured at 27 and had to stop as a player. He took a while to reflect and even worked for a while in a bank branch. Only then did he resolve, bugger this, it’s coaching or nothing.
Cheers for the addition mate, probably the best injury in Australian football history
Coming from an Arsenal supporter, you guys have got yourself not only a great manager, but a manager who is a great guy
Chelsea fan here..... Its hard but your so right! 🙏
Arsenal fan and Aussie here. Even for a Greek he has won me over 🤣😂🤣😂 I hope they win the F.A. Cup and finish 17th
That would be so SPURSY!!
@@paulglusic4083mate my team bottle sm we will bottle relegation in the last game and survive somehow
Spurs fan here. Respect to you for that comment 🤍 ❤
@@MONKeEeYboi seconded. Fair play. Especially the Chelsea fan who have the legend Poch' as their manager. It's easy for me to wish Poch' all the best, the same as Harry Kane AND Sol Campbell, who gave 19 and 10 years respectively to Spurs. 👍
Mate, you never referenced Hungary's Ference Puskas - one of the greatest footballers ever who was Ange Postecoglou's mentor and inspiration. Also probably worth noting that Ange's skill is taking underperforming teams and making them play amazing football. Brisbane Roar were a disfunctional home for boozing ex-Socceroos (Australian National Team) before Ange cleaned them out and Roarcelona broke all records. Yokahama F Marinos were constantly in the lower half of the J-League before Ange. Celtic have the biggest budget of any Scottish club but had finished ten points behind Rangers the season before Ange. There will be ups and down for Tottenham before Ange's playing style is fulling integrated, but a little patience will see them do amazingly. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.
glad the Ange train is picking up steam and everyone is getting on board, he's a legend
As a rangers fan he’s the only Celtic manager iv ever liked. Class manager as well he will win a trophy for Tottenham.
he came in to celtic, basically brought in a brand new first 11 and got them to win a league title back from a Rangers side that had went invincible the year before and that got to a European final. I don't think many people outside of celtic know just how much of a shambles the squad was when Neil Lennon got the sack, he'd wrecked us. It was embaressing. Ange took us from the worst place we'd been in a decade and gave us the best football we've seen since Martin O'neill. I don't like Spurs but I'll be watching them for Ange, and you're lucky to have him.
Terry Munro died
Celtic has heart.
Tottenham's big problem has always been that it has no heart.
Can Postecoglou enrage a lion which has no heart?
Mourinho couldn't, Tottenham will probably be his poisoned chalice.
@@fireblade2681 to be honest with how much the squad has changed, I can honestly see him being the man to bring them to glory
Mate Australians don't say root for. Find out why
@@michaeljenkins5205
Shagging
He's a phenomenal coach. Totally gutted he left Celtic but after delivering us two years of trophies I couldn't begrudge him leaving. I laughed at some YT 'pundits' who scoffed at his Tottenham appointment. Guaranteed this guy will win trophies for Spurs. And his football is glorious.
We love big Ange already, and it's only been two games.
Come On You Spurs
In English football it’s football.. soccer is a nickname of the upper classes: asSOCiation football.. a suprisng choice for those from republics like: USA..
It’s been called football for a thousand years. Due t beng played with your football an a ball. so why change the name when a new country is born. That should call it’s game : hand ovaloid, as the illegitimate son of rugby football
@@briocheoleary5043you’re literally talking to yourself there what’s the point of all that drivel?
@@briocheoleary5043Football for a thousand years? Why are you making things up?
@@leopoppa7753 lmao i was scratching my head
thinking the same
10 games in. Top of the league.
Ange is responsible for the Roar selling out a 52 000 seat Rugby League stadium in a Rugby League city while managing the Roar.
A truly momentous achievement
Feels kind of crazy that that ever happened these days. I'm hoping that the second division with all its Queensland teams will actually get off the ground and work, in large part because it's the only way I see it happening again anytime soon.
He took the a league to the next level although I think that evolution has slowed. We need more people like him to stay in Australia and push the game forward. A true manager.
We haven't seen anything like Anges Roar in the A league since. Maybe Adelaide in 15-16 under Amor but it was only 1 season. I remember watching the Roar and thinking that team could cut it in Europe haha
Look to be honest Brisbane is such a fickle sporting city that any team winning will sell out and as soon as those results drop nobody is interested in them any more. Look at the QLD Reds in 2011 and 2021, the roar through those years when we were actually good, the lions when that lot are winning, etc.
@@2229JMAN I think the Broncos were still doing fine in attendance when they were shit.
As an Argentine and spurs fan I wanted Poch to get back to the club. But I'm starting to like Postecoglou. I heard him speak in a conference a few days ago and I liked his personality very much, he seemed very involved in the conversation, unlike most managers who usually just say mostly generic stuff that is expected from them in a conference. He has a different type of personality, very calm and engaged.
Good summarisation of Ange & what many don’t understand is Ange was always preparing for the EPL. As he was part of the Man City Group when he was in Japan as Manager of Yokohama Marinos (Man City has a large stake ownership) Man City were preparing Ange as the heir to Pep Guardiola, then with the sacking of Conte Tottenham hired Scott Munn who like Ange was part of the City Group as Chief of Asia operations & with Munn having a strong relationship with Ange having previously worked in the A-League & National Teams Munn clearly encouraged Levy to appoint Ange, so it was all in the pipe works, City Groups loss is Tottenhams gain.
Very interesting 🤔.
What you politely left out is , if he does well with Spurs . He builds his portfolio to move to city if the need was to arise . Spurs cant win the EPL , but they might just snare something domestic . Incredible how wealth generating equity firms also use the same formula with there top line personal .
I’m an Arsenal fan but I respect spurs and love a lot of you’re players sonny is one of my favorite players and richarlison and Kane (Alan shearer is happy tho lol) but this was a great video seeing them thrash Man U last weekend made me smile lol hope you finish top 4
Fantastic video, I too, a spurs fan like you knew nothing about Ange, and wanted Nagelsmann at the time. After being at our first home match vs ManU, I am fully invested in Ange’s playing style, and I don’t think there’s anyone better out there for the job of Spurs manager currently. Ange Postecoglou Allez!
What a fair, well researched and open minded presentation! Thank you.
As an Aussie of mixed ancestry, I relate well to the challenges faced by him and his family, migrating to a totally foreign country.
Ange's accomplishments go beyond the football field. I love him dearly for his humbleness, combined with his passion for the game to be played his way, support for the underdog, and quick dismissal of undesirables. This is all in pursuit of the common goal of fans, club, players.
Go you good thing Ange!
I'm an Aussie and was a big Brisbane Roar fan back during their golden era under Postecoglou. Nothing makes me prouder than to see him finally get the recognition he deserves. I'm a massive Liverpool supporter but will definitely be rooting for Spurs to do well (just not against Liverpool) over the next few years under Big Ange.
Ange, and many Australian football products, have been victims of the notion that 'well they aren't a big footballing nation, so they can't produce quality'.
Been fortunate to follow him for over a decade, since he led my local Aussie team to victory, twice. Man's top notch.
I think a lot of times the rest of the world overlook the fact that while Australia is not a big footballing nation, they are a big coaching nation - Australia has always produces decent coaches in all sorts of sports because of their sporting culture and sports science programs
@@aRtFuLThinGhonestly we are a great sporting nation; and our athletes are of the best of the best, they simply just dont play football
@@ayrtonpietrobelli6972 suggest you do some research mate. Football has higher participation than AFL and rugby. The issue in this country is the administration of the sport, and the complete lack of funding from govt. Many football fans see A-league as a joke and would rather pay out the ass for subscriptions for the big 5 leagues - yet the socceroos (almost all of which are A-league products) certainly exceeded expectations. Poor management, lack of funding, and decades of AU MSM weaponising the passion that you dont see in other codes to protect their interests in other codes (which are not widely played internationally, do not compete with football in terms of participation - yet the media remains obsessed and the govt will through many times more $$$ at AFL and NRL instead of Football.)
Its more the attitude that you are doing well in a backwater bc its a backwater, in contrast it's quite often that those that do well with few tools are better than the ones that need every advantage to win.
Nikola Jokic springs to mind when you talk about a player who "doesn't fit the mould" yet absolutely dominated the league and won a title within his first few years of playing NBA.
Long may Ange's reign continue. As an Aussie who's watched him grow, develop and absolutely destroy my home club for years before taking on the footballing world, I'm extremely proud of what he's doing. He's one of quite a few domestic managers here in Australia that are breaking the mould of managers who think outside of the box and create beautiful football styles of play, all whilst having travelled the "road less taken."
Hopefully he'll help bring more eyes on our domestic product, for both our players and managers, and eventually, our football code as a whole.
Angeball is so, so much more than tactics.
Brisbane Roar under Ange were scintillating.
Big Ange delivered Australia an Asian Cup, that's part of the reason why we love him.
Where do you think they will finish Fletcher ?
I think 1st, maybe 2nd. - Lester aka Ricky.
Dropped a hundred on Angeball at 41-1 at the start of the season. Cheers from Wagga Wagga, Lester@@ricky5538
I’m like you; an American who came to following the game later in life, as well as latching onto Spurs (my sister in law is a life long fan, so I sorta went that way because of her) right when they lost their best player, Bale.
Loved this video! Sent it to my bro’s wife so we can all take in the Ange Love.
that first sentence really hit. i love this team way too much. there should be research being done into how tottenham fans are able to keep supporting this club. There’s just something about it.
Been a south melbourne fan before I was born. My brother played in the youth set up. Was lucky to see ange play. Well done good sir 😊
We have our Tottenham back thanks to Ange. Looking forward to every game now whereas under Mourinho and Conte, I often avoided watching games as not to ruin my weekend. With Ange-ball, the style is so pleasing, the results matters less. Even after three league games, I'm confident to say this is the best football we've seen from Spurs since peak Pochettino.
Angeball causing complete angemonium is great postecontent.
Ange leaves the ego at the door. Very humble hard working person. All Australian football fans knew once given a chance he would run with it
Ange got the job at Brisbane Roar after the previous coach was done for drink driving on the way to training and sacked. If not for a random breath test, we may never have heard of Ange-ball.
I came to Australia and started my admiration for this man during his Roar years, where when the quality of the squad would allow, it almost looked like they were playing a different sport when compared to the other clubs.
Then in his tenure for the Socceroos, he got a below-average generation of players to force Spain and Netherlands to have to give it all to defeat them, and also won the Asian Cup. To be honest, most of the criticism I could hear was from people that had no touch with reality nor understood the sport. What he did with the Socceroos was a MIRACLE, and probably his most impressive job. If you wish to understand it, checkout the Socceroos numbers since he left.
As an Australian Tottenham fan I have a lot of love for this, any real Australian soccer (football) fan knows very well what ange is capable of. He represents exactly what the Australian sport mentality is, this is not to be taken for granted the proof is in Australia having respectable results in any sport we compete in. Regardless of what silver we may or may not win ange will leave a lasting effect on the club and players even if it only last for one season. I have 100% faith in ange he will give Tottenham something very special at the end of it all.
Couldn't agree more with this assessment of Ange; absolutely gutted he left Celtic - he was a phenomenal manager but an even better person. A shining example of management and leadership across any industry!
As a United fan, I can’t help but find Ange’s Spurs exciting. I’ll be silently rooting for Ange and Spurs this season.
Not a United fan
@@marknewbold2583
Do you think that because the only United fans you know are one eyed morons?
Fabulous piece of work here. Great production value. Thoroughly enjoyed it.!!!❤
i miss him at celtic so much. Enjoy him with spurs!
Holy shit, those motivational speeches are BETTER than what you get from the best of Hollywood, even without context. That's impressive.
Thank you for all the work you did
I argued with Celtic supporters for days after his appointment trying to convince them they landed someone special. Same thing happened with spurs. Glad to see he's getting the recognition he deserves.
To understand Postecoglou,
it is worth reading about the influence the Hungarian/ International player/coach
Ferenc Puskas had on him.
Spurs have been my worst best friend since 2015. I understand how you feel with our relationship to the club
In Australia, Craig Foster is known as Craig Tosser.
A friend asked me who I wanted to replace Conte when that thing happened and I said Postecoglou purely based on how Australia played under him and how good Celtic looked in the CL against teams you'd think would demolish them. I never thought it would actually happen. Gotta love his style of football and he can do wonders with Tottenham.
I'm in Melbourne Australia and have watched him play and coach the game. He is the real thing but we're from Melbourne even below down under so Europe would not look twice at such a person, that's why it's taken him so long or its taken the rest of the world so long to sit up and take notice.
I really don’t lie spurs. It’s almost hate. But I like this man, I now respect spurs and wish this guy all the best. From a Chelsea fan
Not a Chelsea fan
Great work producing this video. Very well put together 👍👍
4 years guys we got him for 4 years and we just beat man utd in our 2nd game of Big Ange Ball. Silverware incoming.
Mate, he used to coach at my home town and the energy around the team was electric. You've got some good times ahead.
Fun fact: when Ange won Asian Cup 2015 wirh Australia, his side played against Korea. Son, his current Spurs captain, was at that match playing for Korea and scored a goal against Ange's side. Son & Ange have met before; it seems destined for the reunion. What a miraculous world we live in.
Great overview. Thank you for condensing Ange’s past exploits and methodology in a way that’s easy to share with folks that might still be on the fence. Really looking forward to many years with Big Ange. Up the Spurs!
this was a good watch...thank you for putting this together.
Well researched, I’m a Aussie, and live in Brisbane so saw him manage first hand. I am also a longtime Spurs fan and he will do great things given the chance. COYS
Ange is an Aussie sportsman at heart managing at an elite level so you're guaranteed absolute dedication to perform and win
In Australia "fun to root" means something very different from "fun to root for", just saying.
Thank you for not only a great video, but one that is so inspired me to keep going in my life and the things that I do.
Man I just found your channel and you definitely deserve more love, your editing and storytelling are great and the way you articulate the narrative about sports makes it super interesting, I’m definitely subscribing now
big ange has actually made our games fun to watch. haven't felt this way since the last year at the lane
It’s rare to have a manager ascend to top tier management through merit alone. Restores faith that appointments can still have merit and top clubs don’t gatekeep themselves from ~30 managers.
I've just discovered your channel, but this content is ELITE man - absolutely falling in love with it all
Just found your channel! Great stuff man. Looking forward to seeing more 💪
That was really well put together. Thanks.
One of the best of many Spurs/Ange related channels/blogs etc I've watched recently. Super well produced and thought out. I will be following Spurs and Ange from here in Oz (we love our Big Ange here in Australia), and you get a sub. You should have way more than 10k - that's how good the quality of this video was. Subbed and liked.
I hope Ange ends your trophy drought. From a Celtic fan 👍
Really good vid.
Just subscribed, keep up the good work!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Love Ang's honesty! Bringing a bit of fresh air to football.
I am an Aussie that now has a second side in SPURS and hope he guides them to a Dream,
Chelsea fan.
Great video! Excellent content and quality. 👍
Absolutely loved this video, keep up the good work
This is awesome, spot on. Great message and insight of a very underestimated man
Great stuff. As your friendly neighborhood Arsenal fan, this is the first manager since Poch that has me even remotely concerned. Hopefully Levy & Co gives him time to shine.
I think Tottenham began to turn it around when Ange wrote the word BELIEVE on a piece of cardboard and hung it up right above the exit to their dressing room.
Great video mate. Very thorough 🙂👍
Fantastic video. Obviously done your research and understand the situation very well!
So well written and presented - kudos to you
Also a hardcore Spurs supporter and never have I been more excited at the football we are playing right now under Ange !
I'm calling it, this video would blow up, a really great summary about amge and neatly timed too
Brisbane Roar supporter here. Great video. Enjoyed that. 2011 final one of the best games ever. Semi final also up there
Very informative, thankyou
Great video. I am a coach from Australia and I appreciate what you have said and the information your have researched.
Spurs fan, first time on your channel. Dope video bri. Got yourself a new sub.
Very good video.Thank you.
Well done video, great voiceover voice! COYS!
He’s one of the few managers it feels now who actually worked their way up, rather than just hired based on being a good player
I am that old that I watched Ange play for South Melbourne. In a touch of irony he was a defender; now his coaching style is restlessness attack.
Western Suburbs SC in melbourne was his first ever gig as player manager in melbourne Im now currently coaching there
Very nicely produced video!
Loved the way you have looked widely about a person who could have easily have been overlooked. Great insight! As an Aussie I followed Chelsea after living in London a few years back. But I'm off that bandwagon go you Spurs!!!!!!!
Ange is a king, not a fan of Tottenham but as an Aussie would love to see them do really well, even as a Manchester United fan I wasn’t too upset when their lot beat us last weekend cos it means Ange will hopefully get more of a shot
Interesting fact, did you know that was actually his 2nd game against man utd? He coached South Melbourne against sir Alex and the legendary treble winning team at the club world cup in 2000
Love this video! Thanks
Absolutely amazing video
Great video and well researched.
What a great video 🤘👍
Great video mate
Hope Ange is a success at Spurs, if he isn't blame the board. As a Rangers fan I don't want him back at Celtic. 😉He would be welcomed with open arms by all Celtic fans, unlike Brendan Rodgers.
and while Celtic have had the upper hand in Scotland for, well, a LONG time, when Ange took over at Celtic they had just lost the league by 25 points. He didn't get airdropped into a good situation.
Excellent video.
As an Aussie, so proud of him. Representing us back home in the best way possible
Great video dude. Subbed
New subscriber! I'm a big fan of AP and it hurts he's a Spurs man when I support chelsea but good luck to him! I'd like to see him go to the very top of football👍
Great analysis and video!
I’m not surprised it’s taken so long for Ange to manage in Europe given Australia is a soccer minnow, you have to work your way through the leagues and build reputational currency - it’s not an overnight trip, it’s a long and arduous journey. Well done Ange.
3:12 slight correction as an Australian. Football is our most popular sport, but it doesn’t seem like it because we aren’t that good. For example the matildas just broke our national TV viewing record for the semi final against England.
It's one of the most played sports at junior level, but as far as media coverage, sponsorship or government support, it's way behind the pecking order. Especially when compared to league or AFL.
Not even close to the most popular sport in most facets. Yes more juniors play football but in terms of sponsorship, TV viewership, attendance, media coverage etc, AFL is definitely number 1 - and it does not really have international matches. Yeah, we’ll all watch an international game but in terms of A-league bums on seats, it does not compare.
@@JustIn-mu3nl this
It isn't. The Matildas got a lot of coverage because we were hosting the World Cup. They had more viewership than the Socceroos because the matches were aired at a time more accessible to Australians. What it does show is that given similar media coverage to other sports & if aired at times where the average Australian can watch, football really has the potential to win over the masses.
Unfortunately though the sport is underfunded & participation drops off very steeply after youth because of higher fees than other sports.
@@liamjenkins244 Spot on
Australia is a very unique sporting market. Rugby League and Aussie rules take up basically all the elite athletic talent of the country, leaving soccer and a few more amateurish sports to be left for the rest.
Celtic fan my whole life… I miss this man with all my heart 😢❤
Thanks, it helped me to understand Spurs better
