Ange Postecoglou finally reveals why he left the Socceroos
Ange Postecoglou has revealed he quit the Socceroos job because influential football people considered qualifying for the World Cup as the defining factor to his coaching reign.
The 53-year-old sensationally resigned from the Australian national team role after getting the team to Russia 2018 via a playoff victory against Honduras.
Postecoglou says he wanted to instil a blueprint for the green and gold to flourish in the future, but parties such as Football Federation Australia and media figures were only interested in booking a spot at football's premier tournament.
