Ange Postecoglou is being increasingly linked to the soon-to-be vacant Liverpool manager position amid suggestions the iconic club has invited the Aussie coach to interview for the role.
Postecoglou, 58, was a Liverpool fan growing up and has impressed the football world during his first season coaching Tottenham, with the Spurs currently sitting in fourth position on the Premier League ladder having finished the previous season in eighth spot.
“Like any kid, I had posters up on my wall, so Liverpool was my team,” Postecoglou said six months ago at the start of his Tottenham tenure. With Jurgen Klopp recently revealing he will vacate his role as Liverpool manager after the season after nine years at the helm, Postecoglou may never get a better chance to take on one of the most coveted roles in the sport. Speaking on SEN’s The Run Home, host Andy Maher revealed a source with an extensive history of accurate mail on Postecoglou’s managerial movements had told him the former Socceroos coach had been invited to discuss his rumored dream job with Liverpool.
“So, this is what I’ve received today (from my source) with a, ‘take it to the bank’, right,” Maher said.“I’m not going to mention who it is (but the message reads), ‘Postecoglou’s manager Frank Trimboli has formally received ‘an invitation to discuss his potential interest in the Liverpool Football Club managerial position.’”Maher explained his source had previously informed him of Postecoglou’s moves to Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan and Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
The radio host insisted that despite Postecoglou being just six months into his tenure at the Spurs, he would have to accept the job at Liverpool if it was offered.
