To those who'd followed his journey already, the welcome was no surprise. From a five-year-old Greek immigrant arriving in Melbourne, to a marauding left-back in the Australian National Soccer League, to a pioneering coach winning trophies on three different continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBefore Tottenham, Big Ange did the same thing at Celtic in Glasgow, taking five trophies across two seasons. Before that, with Yokohama F Marinos in Japan. Before that, four titles at his boyhood club South Melbourne, a national record 36-game unbeaten streak at Brisbane Roar, time across the globe with Australia's junior national teams, and the Socceroos' greatest achievement, the 2015 Asian Cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThrough it all, an unshakable belief in himself and his ideas. Postecoglou's mesmerising style of football is built on the kind of teams he watched as a child alongside his father. And it works. It turns sceptics into believers, and believers into full-blown disciples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDrawing on dozens of interviews with Postecoglou himself and with the players, coaches, colleagues, friends, and rivals around him, alongside extensive archival material, Vince Rugari traces the heart of a man who has reshaped the football landscape. The book digs into the dynamics behind his coaching, his complicated relationship with the game in his homeland, and the impact he has had on fans worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vince Rugari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49915816968429,"sku":"9780733652035","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8532\/4525\/files\/9780733652035.jpg?v=1777696026","url":"https:\/\/www.peninsularecordsandbooks.com\/products\/angeball-by-vince-rugari","provider":"Peninsula Records \u0026 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
