Not by choice, but when Harry Kane goes to Real Madrid and Spurs have a rough trot through November, Daniel Levy will be forking out the shillings to give St Angelos 3 years’ wages in one hit with that superb 4-year-contract his agent got him, which would make Ange the richest person in Australian sport… just behind the lawyers working at the AFL Tribunal.

“Now that the season and all domestic cup competitions have concluded, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as our new First Team Head Coach. Becoming the first Australian to manage in the Premier League, Ange will join us on 1 July on a four-year contract.

Daniel Levy, Chairman: “Ange brings a positive mentality and a fast, attacking style of play. He has a strong track record of developing players and an understanding of the importance of the link from the academy – everything that is important to our Club. We are excited to have Ange join us as we prepare for the season ahead.”

Tottenham Hotspur statement

What a great moment for Australian football to have a manager in the biggest footballing league in the known galaxy, we’ve had Australian captains in the Premier League before (Lucas Neill captained West Ham United), but this is new ground…

In fact, Spurs have changed their motto from To Dare Is To Do, which now represents Ange’s nationality…

TO DARE IS TO DIDGERIDOO.
