Tottenham Hotspurs coach Ange Postecoglou wins Global Australian Award

·

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has been honoured with a 2024 Global Australian Award for ‘Sport and Sports Administration,’ recognising his impact on the international stage alongside other distinguished Australians. The awards, organised by Advance Global Australians (AGA), celebrate Australians who have excelled globally across diverse fields.

Joining Postecoglou among the recipients are actress Margot Robbie, chef Skye Gyngell, Macquarie Group CEO Shemara Wikramanayake, Airtasker co-founder Jonathan Lui, and academic Professor Mimi Zou from UNSW and Oxford University.

Highlighting the significance of Australian talent worldwide, AGA CEO Kate McQuestin remarked, “Australia is punching well above its weight on the global stage, and our biggest asset is our people.” McQuestin noted that many Australians are humble about their achievements, and these awards help to raise awareness of the country’s capability and expertise.

Coinciding with the awards, the 2024 Advancing Australia Global Report has been released, providing insights into global perceptions of Australians. The report highlights that Australians are well-regarded, particularly in North America, the UK, and Europe, with friendliness often cited as a key attribute. It also found that 80% of Australians abroad feel there should be greater recognition of their achievements, though only 32% are comfortable promoting themselves internationally.

The awards and report underscore Australia’s strengths in sectors like agriculture, sport, and education, celebrating the influence of Australians like Postecoglou on the world stage.
