The 57-year-old was the Australia national team manager and helped them compete strongly in the 2014 FIFA World Cup and qualify for the 2018 competition. He also helped Australia win the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. Postecoglou joined Celtic in 2021 and has helped them dominate Scottish Football in recent seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/04\/19\/chelsea-set-for-kendry-paez-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chelsea Set to Secure Kendry Paez Signing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After guiding them to the 2021-22 Scottish Premiership title, Postecoglou has helped them continue their domination this season &#8211; with Celtic picking up 91 points in the league in 33 games &#8211; winning 30 and scoring 102 goals.
