Ange's first Spurs game will be in... Australia! Postecoglou to return to his homeland with new club in pre-season friendly against Premier League rivals West Ham in Perth

Ange Postecoglou is set to take his Tottenham squad to Australia with the new Spurs boss back in familiar territory for his first gig in charge of the Premier League club.

Postecoglou, 57, was named the new manager of the north London club on Tuesday, having impressed club chiefs with his attractive brand of football and eye for a transfer gem during his two-year stint with Celtic.

Now the former Socceroos boss - the Premier League's first Australian manager - has been tasked with transforming the club's fortunes having finished last season in eighth place, while their wait for a piece of silverware has extended to 15 years.
