Ange Postecoglou fears Australia will never become a force in world football.
The Tottenham boss walked out on the Socceroos after qualifying for the 2018 World Cup having decided there was neither the desire nor financial commitment to change attitudes to the sport and enable it to thrive alongside rugby league, rugby union and Aussie Rules football.
He views his personal success since in Japan, Scotland and now England as proof that he was right to get out.
‘There’s a couple of things,’ said Postecoglou, ahead of England’s friendly against Australia at Wembley on Friday.
