Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is being backed for a new - or old - job. Postecoglou is currently with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, working with Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix and co.
His side are currently third in the table and just two points behind the leaders. The former Hoops boss is not thought to be under pressure or considering leaving his current job.
But he has still been tipped to take over his old job with the Australia national team. Current Australia boss Tony Popovic is being tipped for an exit, and former goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes Postecoglou should be in contention if Australia do find themselves searching for a new manager.
He said on his podcast: “For me, Peter Cklamovski, Ange Postecoglou, Kevin Muscat, John Aloisi: they’ve all got to be names in some form of discussion.”
Postecoglou has remarkably already had 12 senior management jobs during his career. He spent around four years with Australia between 2013 and 2017, winning the AFC Asian Cup during that spell.
He then had a three-year spell in Japan before rocking up at Celtic, where he won two league and cup doubles and a Scottish Cup. He was then snapped up by Tottenham, where he had a mixed spell, ultimately losing his job after winning the Europa League due to a poor domestic campaign.
An ill-fated short spell with Nottingham Forest followed, and then came his current club Al-Nassr, where he is hoping to secure a league title.
Postecoglou is trying to rebuild his reputation as a club boss after some troubles down South, so a move back to the Australia job now won't likely be at the top of his list of priorities, especially as the World Cup has just gone.
Having already won the Asian, Cup, he would likely only be tempted by the chance to make history in the World Cup with his nation, although that is just speculating. Either way, Australia would likely have to look elsewhere for now.
