And by the ‘big time’ we mean the English Premier League after the former Socceroos coach agreed to sign on as the Tottenham Hotspurs’ new manager, becoming the first Aussie to make the grade. Postecoglou – who coached our national men’s team between 2013 and 2017 and led them to victory in the 2015 Asian Cup – has been in high demand overseas in recent years. Most recently, he helped Celtic claim the Scottish premiership title 2 years in a row. As for Tottenham, it’s needed a new manager since Antonio Conte left in March, and reports say the Aussie has signed on to a 4-year deal starting on 1 July. Fans hope that the Spurs – who finished 8th in this year’s Premier League and haven’t won a trophy since 2008 – will find their mojo under Postecoglou’s characteristically ruthless tutelage.
