Although Tottenham Hotspur did have to move on from Ange Postecoglou after everyone else in the Premier League figured him out and are doing better now with Roberto De Zerbi as their manager, it was still tough to see him leave the club the way that he did last summer - and following up his reign with Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor definitely did not help matters.
While Frank has yet to find a new employer in football management, Postecoglou is doing incredibly well for himself. Al Nassr have hired Big Ange to manage some massive superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Joao Felix, and Kingsley Coman in the Saudi Pro League, but even before he has started up at his new job, Postecoglou has been earning rave reviews this summer.
Both Postecoglou and Frank worked the World Cup punditry desk in the United Kingdom, as Postecoglou was hired by ITV and Frank BBC Sport, and both men ranked in the top half of Four Four Two writers Steven Chicken's and Matthew Ketchell's punditry rankings. Frank surprisingly made it in 14th, while Postecoglou was praised heavily for his charisma and insight, slotting in third despite not being as experienced as most of the people on the list.
Big Ange is still beloved
Only Ian Wright and Emma Hayes made it higher than Ange Postecoglou on the list with Four Four Two writing of the former Tottenham Hotspur manager, "It's a cliche at this point to say you'd love to go for a pint with Ange Postecoglou... but for good reason. The former Tottenham boss has been given a real mix of big boys and minnows to analyse so far this summer, and has had plenty of interesting things to say about all of them. His CV lent to a lot of the interesting nations at the tournament like Japan, England, Scotland, and of course Australia. His level of detail is brilliant, but never overwhelming thanks to his easy, laid-back style. Knowledgeable and likeable."
Tottenham supporters would expect nothing else from Postecoglou, whose personality has been missed dearly at N17. Postecoglou was always articulate and a breath of fresh air in his press conferences, and though his ideas were not quite fit for the top level of the Premier League, he still had a great sense of football and won the Europa League, also being highly successful at Celtic before Spurs. It is great to see that Big Ange is still thriving and earning plaudits.
