Ange Postecoglou was praised at home on Thursday for “inspiring the next generation of Australian coaches” after he had sent Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League.
The Australian football celebrated the success of the 59-year-old controversial after Spurs defeated 1-0 against Manchester United on Wednesday evening in the final in Bilbao.
Nevertheless, the task of Postecoglou is in balance after a gloomy Premier League campaign that lets Tottenham get away at the bottom of the table.
Football football Australia greeted “the three Aussies in the center” of the triumph of Tottenham.
The assistants of Postecoglou are former Socceroos Captain Mile Jedinak and naturally born Australian Nick Montgomery.
“Congratulations to keep breaking down barriers and inspiring the next generation of Australian coaches,” said Football Australia in a statement.
Boyhood Club South Melbourne FC – known as the 'Hellas' – fourth Postecoglou as “Our Legend”.
“From his early days as Hellas Junior, to a championship-winning leader and coach, Ange has become a serial winner wherever he is,” the club said on social media.
“His football trip is really unique in its kind.”
The Greek-Australian newspaper Neos Kosmos said that the victory of Postecoglou was a source of immense community strut, while the local politician Steve Dimopoulos said it was a “big achievement.”
Former Yokohama, Celtic and Australia Coach Postecoglou had consistently said this year that he always wins a trophy in his second season and his words came out in Bilbao.
The National Omroep ABC said that Postecoglou “had silenced his Tottenham Hotspur doubts”.
“For some it was a pointless boasting,” said it on his website.
“For others it was a delusion symptom of the failure virus that has infiltrated everything that has been associated with Tottenham in the last two decades or more.
“To bee ceric, was the faith.”
