00:00Hello.
00:17Legendary Australian football coach Ange Postacoglu made global headlines recently when he led
00:22Tottenham Hotspur to victory in the Europa League.
00:26It was an incredible moment in a dramatic and at times controversial career.
00:32As Spurs manager, he's copped plenty of criticism, but he won back many fans with that win.
00:39Australian Stories caught up with Ange over the years, and we spoke to him exclusively
00:43just a few days ago to hear about his hard road to the top.
00:48The Ange Postacoglu story is pretty unbelievable.
00:55His achievement is actually, it's sort of impossible.
00:59The biggest cheer for the head coach.
01:03A lot of people see Ange at the moment and see the levels that he's got to on a global
01:07scale and massive profile globally, but humble beginnings in Melbourne.
01:13He clearly cares about the game.
01:19You get the sense of a very good human, and not all people in football are that.
01:27I think he's redefined the possibilities for all Australian coaches.
01:30He's stepped into a world that we've always seen as the realm of other, the realm of the
01:35great coaches.
01:38Emotionally, over the last 12 months especially, I think it has been tough for Ange at Tottenham.
01:43But knowing Ange, you put his back to the ropes, he will come out stronger than ever.
01:51It's when I'm at my best, because I love pushing through that stuff.
01:55It's an opportunity to convince more that I haven't got here by accident.
02:03He's driven to win.
02:04He's driven to succeed.
02:05He's driven for his teams to be the best they can be.
02:10It's going to be an absolutely crazy day here in Bilbao.
02:25Come on, you f***ers brothers.
02:30In the lead up to the Europa League final, the energy and the excitement in Bilbao was
02:35palpable.
02:40We went over to Bilbao, myself, a few of our closest mates, Ange's family.
02:46The city was abuzz with just fans coming in from everywhere.
02:51For Spurs fans, it was very much about, you save your season, you save everything.
02:59Getting into the final, there was a newspaper column which said that Ange would either be
03:03a hero or a clown depending on the result of this one game.
03:07The same journalist asked a question of Ange at his press conference before the Europa
03:10Cup final.
03:11If you win, this is going to be remembered as one of the best seasons in the club's modern
03:15history.
03:16But if you lose, it might be remembered for one of the worst league seasons in the club's
03:20modern history.
03:21That depends on your outlook Dan, but I'll tell you one thing, irrespective of tomorrow,
03:25I'm not a clown.
03:26I never will be mate.
03:27That clearly rankled with him.
03:29He bit at that.
03:30And I think it showed, to a degree, the pressure it is under.
03:33I'm a human being.
03:34Do I get angry sometimes?
03:35Do I get frustrated?
03:36Do I get disappointed?
03:37Of course I do.
03:38But what I will do, though, is always call out people who I think have got it wrong.
03:45Spurs hadn't won anything for a long time in 17 years.
03:47They hadn't won a European trophy for over 40 years.
03:50So the pressure is enormous, there are massive stakes.
03:55When Ange walked out onto the field for the Europa League final, I don't think it'd be
03:59a leap too far to say this was the biggest game of his life.
04:06But wherever your footballer regions lies, the chances are, I think, that you've probably
04:12watched some soccer, possibly on television.
04:15It wasn't cool to play soccer when Ange and I were growing up.
04:19Yeah, it was pretty simply called either kiss chasey or wog ball.
04:24Kiss chasey, you know, after the boys score a goal, everyone would be hugging and kissy,
04:28which dare I say, they're doing that now in AFL for fun, and wog ball because only the
04:33ethnics played it.
04:37We grew up in Athens.
04:39Greece at the time wasn't a pleasant place to be.
04:42Dad had a business that unfortunately was a change in government and the military moving
04:46in he lost.
04:47You know, we came over here when I was five and, you know, it was obviously a massive
04:51move.
04:52They obviously came here to give me and my sister a better life.
04:55As a kid, I just wanted to fit in.
04:57So I didn't necessarily like the fact that I came from another country and, you know,
05:02I had a really long surname that no one could sort of get their mouth around.
05:08And I guess for a young boy, the best way to fit in was sport.
05:11I remember this skinny kid with the blonde light hairs, which is very un-Greek, just absolutely
05:16fiercely darting in and just really competitive.
05:19And I remember thinking, oh, this kid's standing out.
05:23On a Sunday, there was two places of worship for anyone of Greek origin.
05:28In the morning, you'd go to church and in the afternoon, you'd go to the football.
05:32South Melbourne was the club of the Greek community.
05:35The clubs were basically based around the ethnic groups, the immigrant communities.
05:41These little clubs were really strong pillars in each community, just providing comfort and
05:49support to people who had made a pretty big decision to come to a new country.
05:57When Ange was old enough, Dad enrolled him at the junior development at South Melbourne.
06:02My father, he loved football and he'd drive me to training.
06:05We'd have half an hour in the car, you know.
06:08Me and my dad was, you know, for a boy, that's what I was after.
06:13Very quickly, the whole game just consumed me from then on.
06:17He was like a sponge.
06:18So anything to do with soccer, he absorbed.
06:21He would sit in on conversations with older people as they discussed it.
06:25He would watch what little television there was in those days, magazines, books, stories,
06:32anything.
06:33Any right.
06:34That's a run forward, just chipping that one inside, looking there for Trimboli.
06:37Here's Postacoglu.
06:38And there's the equaliser from Angelo Postacoglu.
06:41I first spotted Ange when, in the mid-80s, he came through as a young player with South
06:46Melbourne.
06:47He had a long mullet flying behind his head as he galloped up the field.
06:53He was an attacking player, very, very quick.
06:55Right with the cross.
06:57Postacoglu with the header.
06:59Angelo Postacoglu.
07:00When I turned up, he was already captain of the club at 21.
07:04That's his fourth goal of the year.
07:06South Melbourne had a massive expectation.
07:10The Greeks would pack in there, and God forbid if we drew a game or lost a game.
07:14A dangerous play from Angelo Postacoglu.
07:18And he went on to have a terrific career there.
07:20He captained the Tour Championship, played in a couple of championships as a player.
07:23South Melbourne, the National League champions for the second time.
07:29And then went on to coach at South Melbourne as well.
07:31And then going on to be, you know, a legend of the club.
07:34We'll see everyone back at the South Melbourne Social Club, OK?
07:37Well done.
07:39After the successes of South Melbourne, Ange was eventually offered to coach the Australian
07:43youth teams.
07:44I would now get to challenge myself internationally, not just domestically, and I was looking forward
07:51to it.
07:52It was an international role, something he thought was a springboard to greater things.
07:58But I think quickly he found he couldn't be his own man.
08:01He had to sort of play other people's agendas, and he felt bogged down by that.
08:06By 2005, I didn't coach well because I started worrying about all this pressure that was
08:12intensifying over the fact that we hadn't got results at youth level for a few years.
08:16A lot of uncertainty, almost a dark cloud over where I was heading in a professional sense.
08:21In late 2006, Ange Bostokoglu's Australian youth team failed to qualify for the World Cup,
08:29now for the second time.
08:30Thanks for joining us.
08:32We invited Ange onto the World Game Programme to be interviewed, not just by me, but by
08:37my colleague Craig Foster.
08:38The interview with Craig went out live, and it's become a bit of an iconic event in Australia
08:50in football television history.
08:51I don't see any glass out there.
08:53Listen, what I'm saying is, if I didn't qualify the team twice like you, I'd put my hand up
08:58and I'd walk out, because that would happen in most other...
09:00I think the one point that kind of set me off was, you know, he was asking me to resign.
09:05So you're saying I should resign?
09:06I think that's your opinion.
09:07Is that right?
09:08That's my case.
09:09Fine.
09:10Are you going to resign then?
09:11That's the next question.
09:12We were straight after doing it.
09:13That's all people wanted to talk about, that interview.
09:15And I thought, well, this is, is this what I'm going to be defined for now?
09:19For the first time, I heard him over the phone really distressed.
09:24He was pretty upset and worried about how he was portrayed and what it looked like.
09:33Three months later, he got the sack.
09:35So things started to go downhill from then on.
09:38Suddenly he'd gone from the guy that could do no wrong to a guy you couldn't employ.
09:43An opportunity came to coach in Greece, and God bless her, Georgia said, you know, go for
09:49it, and off we went.
09:51And that's no easy gig, that's a minefield.
09:54But that said to me that he was determined to learn, get better, and be the best coach
09:59he could be.
10:00When we got back from Greece, Ange still couldn't get a job.
10:05We didn't have a place to live, so we moved back with my mum for about six to eight months.
10:12It was TV work that mainly sustained me, and then I was doing some bits and pieces with
10:18coaching kids and running clinics because I just wanted to keep coaching.
10:22OK, we're on air for offsiders.
10:25We're straight out to camera four.
10:27I was worried for Ange when you can't get the opportunity, it's frustrating.
10:31So I saw frustration.
10:32What I didn't see through any of that time at all, ever, and I've never seen with Ange,
10:36right, is him questioning his ability.
10:39It's amazing how many times it does happen.
10:42In fact, that period of time, I think over a couple of years, what he developed was this
10:48real clear mindset on what he wanted to do as soon as he got the opportunity.
10:53He knew exactly where he was going to take a team, how he was going to do it, and transform
10:58the way that football was being played.
11:01We were doing a broadcast, and half the game I was leaving in front of me.
11:06It was Archie Fraser, who was CEO of the A-League at the time.
11:09I just said to him, look, I'd love to have a crack.
11:12I'd love to get back into coaching and jump desperate.
11:15I think I've got something to offer.
11:17Ange received a phone call from Archie not long after that and said,
11:23is there any way you can get yourself to Brisbane?
11:28The next day, he jumped on the plane and went and met the owners of Brisbane Roar at the time.
11:35And I said, I'm going to do things differently.
11:38If you're happy with what you've got, I'm not your person.
11:42And I sensed in them that they wanted change as well.
11:46I wanted to leave a mark, and part of that was even the way the game was played.
11:50We wanted to be an attacking team that sat better with me as a person, my personality.
11:56There's no opportunity to make mistakes tonight.
11:59And it looked crazy for a while because they were awkward and they would get themselves in trouble.
12:03But they were absolutely determined to play on their own terms
12:06and play an attractive, exciting brand of football to entertain and to win games.
12:10Oh, it's one of the goals of the season!
12:13And eventually, it worked. It was brilliant to watch.
12:17Stunning stuff from the Roar!
12:19The Brisbane Roar under Ange is the best Australian club team I've ever seen.
12:24Unbelievable!
12:26And this was music to my eyes. I mean, it was the modern way of playing.
12:32And Brisbane Roar have won the grand final!
12:36Oh, yeah!
12:38They were just really, really happy times. And we had just gone through a really, you know, pretty shitty time in our lives
12:48that lasted probably a lot longer than we both thought. It just made the victory even sweeter.
12:54By the second year at Roar, I was agitating for something different again. That was now my constant driver.
13:07So we moved back to Melbourne and Ange was the head coach of Melbourne Victory.
13:14At the Melbourne Victory, Ange Postacogmu was doing well. He was building a quality team.
13:22Well, at the same time, the Socceroos were at the bottom of the toilet.
13:27There were two internationals played, but Australia got slaughtered 6-0 in each of them.
13:32This morning's heavy defeat to France came after a devastating loss to Brazil only a few weeks ago.
13:38So they decided to sack the coach. When the crash came in Paris for the Socceroos,
13:45it was quite apparent who the next Socceroos coach could be. There's only one, really, and that was Ange.
13:49I think today is a bloody, bloody good day.
13:52And he's on the mission with us to make this sport the largest and most popular in the country.
13:58The opportunity to coach a country, I didn't think this moment in time would come for me again.
14:02And, you know, I thought it was a time to take it.
14:07I was super excited for him to have the opportunity.
14:10But at the other side, all I could think about was,
14:13oh no, I'm never going to see my husband.
14:16It's going to be very, very difficult again.
14:19And it's quite lonely.
14:21But, you know, at the same time, I knew that he was ready.
14:24Anyone under three foot is not allowed in here.
14:28There's one thing I can definitely say, I wouldn't be where I am today without Georgia.
14:32I think through that tough time without her by my side,
14:35I'm not sure where I would have ended up.
14:38We hardly see Ange.
14:40And I remember even, I was pregnant and Max came three weeks early.
14:47Ange was supposed to fly that day to London.
14:50And I said to him, you can't go.
14:53You're not leaving me to have this child on my own.
14:56You have to change your flight.
14:58Anyway, he did.
14:59He managed to change his flight and Max arrived.
15:03And then the next day he left.
15:05And that's, that's how things work for us.
15:09Today, the Postacoglu plan for Brazil 2014 became clear.
15:14We want to reward form and fitness and also have an eye to the future.
15:18We had a World Cup and an Asia Cup in literally 12 months.
15:21I wanted to win the Asia Cup.
15:23And every decision I made was geared towards that.
15:25I've always told you, if you're in any doubt, you go forward with the ball, just by yourself.
15:30But first, we're going to a World Cup.
15:32And with the whole world watching, I couldn't not be competitive there.
15:39Spain, the world champion.
15:41World champion in B1.
15:43Spain?
15:44B1.
15:45I set my alarm for, I think it was four in the morning around then,
15:47and I got up to watch the World Cup draw.
15:49Australia will play Chile.
15:51American game with the new manager, Anish Postacoglu.
15:54We got drawn in what was the group of death.
15:57Now we're going up against the best in the world.
16:00I thought, oh my God, how on earth are we going to beat any of these teams?
16:07And James, his son, actually sent him a text and said,
16:12this is fantastic.
16:14You know, the whole world's going to be watching your game.
16:17This is your time to shine.
16:20Everyone expected a couple of tennis scores.
16:22Six love, six love.
16:24But something in the team clicked.
16:26I think Anish had taught them to hold their nerve.
16:29He's done it again.
16:31World Cup was unbelievable.
16:33I knew exactly what I was doing.
16:34I knew what the team was doing.
16:36We played some of the best football.
16:38We kept the ball.
16:39We rattled teams, mentally, physically.
16:42It's 2-1 Australia.
16:44We lost three games.
16:46But that performance in Brazil made me very proud to be an Australian
16:51because of their capacity to be willing to have a go and to not fear anyone.
16:59And that's the way I expect Australian teams to play.
17:03He sat us down straight after the last World Cup game.
17:06He said, you know, look, you know, successful tournament.
17:10You know, we did Australia proud.
17:12But, you know, our next aim now is the Asian Cup.
17:14Biggest ever football event to be held on these shores.
17:17There's the opening goal from Hussein Final.
17:20They started slowly, but then by the end of it,
17:22you just sense that this team, they were ready to,
17:25they were ready to change this.
17:26Franic to check and deliver.
17:28Great ball in.
17:29And what a header.
17:31And it is Massimo Luongo.
17:33And then they saw it right through to the final.
17:35That's the most I see Dad move when he starts celebrating it.
17:54It was a pretty good feeling seeing him running around,
17:57bumping his fists in the air, getting into it.
18:00I was a bit worried about his suit because he was stretching it out.
18:04But that's not right, yeah.
18:06It's a funny one in that moment.
18:09You get a huge relief that it's come to fruition.
18:11And I just sit back and I just watch everyone else.
18:13I just get a real buzz from seeing people celebrate
18:17that have worked hard for seeing the satisfaction in their faces.
18:22And then, you know, your family, friends, Georgia, James,
18:26you know, they're all in the stadium
18:28and you kind of look for their faces.
18:34I try and shake it up because I know that the next day I'll move on.
18:38In that moment I try and take as much in it
18:41because I know that come the next day I'm already thinking ahead.
18:46I'd love to win a World Cup.
18:48Coming off the Asian Cup, the expectation was very high for the Socceroos.
18:55It's now crunch time for Ange Postaka with men.
19:00I think a big turning point in this campaign came about
19:05when they came out against Iraq, playing the new formation.
19:09He wanted to be more attacking but came at a risk of conceding more goals.
19:14A goal to Iraq and a dagger to the Socceroos' hopes
19:18to play next year in Russia.
19:20They had a one-all draw and immediately he was second-guessed on his tactics.
19:24That's what our shape will look like.
19:26Our three, our box four and our wide guys and our striker.
19:30I change the formation every year.
19:32This sort of conservatism we have of,
19:35OK, we won the Asian Cup, let's just stick with that now
19:37because that worked.
19:39Sport, my sport, doesn't work that way
19:42because what worked two years ago is not going to work today.
19:47The Socceroos won their games against Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
19:53Then they went to Japan in a game
19:55where they could have booked their place in a World Cup with a victory.
19:58They lost 2-0 and subsequently didn't beat Thailand by enough to qualify automatically.
20:11The mood immediately after it was almost as if they'd been eliminated altogether.
20:15I think the fact that we now knew we would have to go through two sudden death series,
20:21that's when the howls for Ange really came.
20:23Serious and pertinent question must be asked
20:25and I think it must be asked by everybody.
20:27It is being asked by everybody, is he the right man?
20:29We need a different voice because those players, in my opinion,
20:32regardless of what they say publicly, are not responding like they used to under him before.
20:38It's make or break time for the Socceroos.
20:40Tonight they'll take on Syria to determine whether the team will move one step closer to the World Cup.
20:46The Socceroos defeated Syria tonight in a thrilling contest.
20:51Cahill! There it is!
20:53Beat Syria. Beat Honduras home and away. We've qualified for the World Cup.
20:57Ange, his heart and soul was into having Australia qualify.
21:02But I think in the background there were some things happening that were causing him some uncertainty.
21:07He didn't want for Australia to just qualify for World Cups.
21:09He actually really believed we should be trying to win them.
21:13So I certainly think those things would have been gnawing away at him.
21:16And then Ange makes the amazing decision to step away from the Socceroos.
21:25After a great deal of thought and soul searching, I've decided that the journey for me ends as Socceroos coach.
21:32It was quite a bombshell. It was just a feeling of disbelief. Some put it down as even up a trail.
21:41Probably not the ending I'd envisaged when we started, but at the same time, knowing it's the right time for me.
21:51Ange wanted to imprint his way of football on Australian football.
21:55Whether that support was there ultimately to allow him to be as successful as what he wanted to be,
22:03is probably part of the reason why he made the decision.
22:06I want to wish you good luck and once again say thank you.
22:12I think it was the perfect time in his mind to take on the next challenge and write the next chapter.
22:20The former Socceroos coach Ange Postokoglu has revealed his next move.
22:26He's signed on to coach a Japanese club team.
22:29The 52-year-old will now take over the reins at Yokoham.
22:35So Ange goes to Japan. First year, took some time to imprint his style.
22:41Second year, he wins the championship.
22:42I think it was a defining result for him because it was outside of the Australian league.
22:52It really put him on a platform on a global basis.
23:00Former Socceroos coach Ange Postokoglu has been confirmed as the new manager of Scottish Giants Celtic.
23:06Success in Japan means nothing to people in Scotland.
23:10When he arrived, I think most of the reaction was, who is this guy?
23:14Breaking news coming out of Scotland here has Celtic have applied for exemption for Yokohama Marinos boss,
23:21Postokoglu. Was it Postokoglu?
23:23This has got to be a wind-up. No.
23:26I grew up in a schoolyard with a long surname in Australia and trust me,
23:30I heard every variation of my surname. Nothing they were going to say was going to upset me.
23:33Kyoglu in again! How quick is that?
23:40At Celtic, he was incredibly successful. The football that he played was sort of classic.
23:44Ange Ball was very exciting, very dynamic, very attacking. I think he won five out of six trophies.
23:50If you have real success in Scotland, then Premier League clubs do look at you.
23:55It is official, Ange Postokoglu has signed on with Tottenham becoming the first Australian manager in the English Premier League.
24:08So 2023, Ange gets the Spurs job.
24:10I was kind of lying in my bed as a nine, ten-year-old. What was the visions I was having?
24:17And Premier League was it for me. It was where I wanted to see myself one day. That was the dream for sure.
24:24The Premier League is the biggest league in the world, no doubt about that. Highest profile, huge amount of money.
24:31So that's the cauldron that Ange has gone into.
24:38I had no doubts that for me the mission when I joined this football club was to win a trophy.
24:44So Ange impresses upon the club and the playing staff the way that he wants to play, his style of play.
24:51They term it Ange Ball. It starts off in a rollicking manner.
24:55They then went on this run where they won eight of the first ten. They were top of the league, unbeaten.
25:08The Spurs fans are loving it. They start singing songs in the terraces. It's all going famously well.
25:15It's Big Ange Ball.
25:18We've got Robbie Williams, megastar, superstar on Twitter, coming up with songs about Ange and how good's that.
25:25I'm loving Big Ange instead.
25:30The football was great. Then there was this game against Chelsea.
25:34And they had two sendings off. Two of their key players got injured.
25:39Actually it turned into their season sort of completely unravelling.
25:41And this season it just never got going. They've had absolutely terrible injury problems.
25:49But Ange didn't adapt ever. He was like, if plan A doesn't work you do plan A better.
25:54And people are like, but it's not working Ange. Like do something.
25:57And he kept like playing this sort of kamikaze football.
26:00Tottenham have made their worst start to a Premier League season for nine years after losing the North London Derby.
26:07It didn't take long for the media to turn on him.
26:08Potokoglu made the comments that he always wins a trophy in his second season.
26:13He made big statements, which paints a target on you.
26:17Are you seeing enough in this side that this season you do think that they will be a side that can win?
26:23I'm talking silverware. Competing right at the top.
26:27Am I going to answer the question or are you going to keep asking it?
26:29Absolutely. And I think I'll correct myself. I don't usually win things. I always win things in my second year.
26:35That level of confidence sometimes doesn't go down well with people.
26:39Tottenham Hotspur under Ange Postokoglu are rubbish.
26:42Flipping 13th in the league. We're out of the League Cup. We're out of the FA Cup.
26:48He has a philosophy, apparently.
26:49Where does he go from here? I hope it's straight to the airport.
26:54Basically, it came to the point where, I would say from February, he has been a dead man walking.
26:59Then it became, well, we've got this opportunity in Europe. What do we do about that?
27:05So Ange made a strategic decision. He focused very clearly on the Europa League.
27:13The Spurs go on an amazing run in Europe and make it into the final against Manchester United in Bilbao.
27:20Making the final was, I guess, for me anyway, a real kind of indication of the road we've taken.
27:29A final. A final of a significant tournament. An opportunity to create history.
27:35Diving Bilbao, building up to the Europa League final. It's an all-English clash.
27:43The pressure was immense. Like, if you win, you get a trophy. If you lose, there's nothing.
27:51We're talking about a club who lost three finals before, you know, the last sort of 17 years.
27:57Had made eight or nine semi-finals. That's not a great record in big games.
28:00So there's a lot of nervous people around at the club, trust me, who, you know, were fearing the worst.
28:06Yeah, probably our supporters as well.
28:08We're at the stadium. We've walked in with the Spurs fans. The atmosphere is electric.
28:13There's a whole stadium full of Spurs fans back in London also supporting their team.
28:20So two Premier League teams playing in a European final. Doesn't get any bigger than that, I don't think.
28:25This was the one game on the planet that night, and you know the whole world's watching.
28:34Georgia, his wife, his kids, were all sitting together in the grandstand and kicking every ball with Ange.
28:41Tottenham scored late on in the first half. Pretty scrappy goal.
28:49So we're getting at half-time 1-0 up.
28:52Ange has said, you know, I would never try and hold on to a 1-0 lead.
28:55No one has tried to hold on to a 1-0 lead more than Ange did in the second half of this game.
28:59It was wave after wave of Manchester United attacks. A couple of incredible saves.
29:11I actually said to Georgia, his wife, to have a look at Ange.
29:14I reckon he's the calmest person in the whole stadium.
29:21And the relief when that whistle finally blew was amazing.
29:25I guess it's the pent-up joy and emotion of people who hadn't won a trophy.
29:31They all just celebrated as one.
29:36Eventually Ange comes out.
29:38We see him and we just give him the biggest hug.
29:41Biggest hug and very emotional time.
29:50It's a tradition for British teams to have an open-top bus parade
29:53after they've won a major trophy.
29:59They're usually joyous events.
30:00I think this one was another level.
30:02How am I feeling?
30:03Oh my God!
30:04On top of the world!
30:06I'm buzzing mate.
30:07I've come a long way for this today.
30:09It's an absolute unreal feeling.
30:11I've been waiting since I was a little girl.
30:13I've been coming to the game with my dad.
30:15And this is like a dream come true.
30:16A dream come true.
30:17As much as you kind of understand, you know, what a trophy would mean to these people,
30:23it's just, seeing them out there today, it's just, it's why we do what we do, you know?
30:28And Ange said, you know, I always win in my second season.
30:31I told them when they didn't believe.
30:36But here we are.
30:39It is actually incredible.
30:40You sort of couldn't script it how it has ended.
30:43I'll leave you with this.
30:45All the best television series.
30:48Season three is better than season two.
30:50I didn't want us to just enjoy the moment, but I also wanted us to think about what's next.
31:00You know, don't settle for this.
31:02I've got a taste of it now.
31:03My players have got a taste for it.
31:05The club's got a taste for it.
31:06Well, let's make sure we're back here again.
31:09I expect Spurs would have to make a decision very quickly about Ange's future.
31:13He's got Tottenham a trophy.
31:16So many managers have failed to do that.
31:17That should instantly afford him the opportunity to go again next year.
31:27So right now, Ange is probably lying on the lounge somewhere in Greece,
31:33sunning himself with his family and having some downtime.
31:36A well-deserved break.
31:38At least a nice day.
31:40I think Ange feels vindicated.
31:42I think Ange is really satisfied that he's been able to deliver
31:45for everyone important.
31:50When we sat down ten years ago and did this initial Australian story,
31:53I think maybe even you guys thought that that was the culmination of, you know,
31:57what I was about to achieve.
31:59I'm not going to the water. It's freezing.
32:01But what I do know is that in ten years' time, if we sit down again,
32:05I've got no doubt in my mind that there'll be more stories to tell.
32:08There'll be more trifles than have been one.
32:18Quite frankly, Ange Postacoglu got it right and I got it wrong.
32:23Ange Postacoglu won Rory Jennings.
32:25In fact, Ange Postacoglu won 100 Rory Jennings nil.
32:29Ange Postacoglu has become a legend of that club.
32:33He has become a true icon of that club.
32:36He has done something that I didn't think were possible
32:38and he is now etched into Tottenham folklore forever.
