Was this the turning point in Ange Postecoglou’s coaching career? How Celtic boss had a stunning run of success after Craig Foster told him to quit in infamous live TV interview

Ange Postecoglou can pinpoint a feisty bust up which became the turning point of his once fledgling coaching career, in which Craig Foster inadvertently gave him the kickstart he needed that has seen him end up at Tottenham.

Postecoglou, 57, is expected to became the new coach of the Premier League club after a stunning spell in Celtic, in which he won five out of six domestic trophies on offer, all while playing an attractive brand of football.

Should he sign on the dotted line with the north London club, Postecoglou will become the first Australian to manage in the Premier League and will cap a remarkable journey from South Melbourne to the big stage.
