Australian football legend, Harry Kewell, has opened up about his new role as a first-team coach at Celtic FC and what it’s like to work under club manager, Ange Postecoglou.
Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald to promote the new FIFA 23 game he features in as an Ultimate Team “hero,” Kewell said Postecoglou is a true “master” of his craft.
“I mean, you should see the training sessions,” Kewell said in the interview.
“These boys are put through it. He demands, every single day: ‘Get that ball, move that ball’… He just takes it to another level, but in a good way.
“The one thing he does paint is the clearest pictures… And I think that’s why the players love it.”
Celtic FC haven’t reached the UEFA Champions League proper since 2017-18 and after drawing from pot four this season, they will be given little chance of progression to the knockout phase by experts and pundits.
But that hasn’t deterred Postecoglou from going on the attack, no matter who they’re up against.
This is something noticed by Kewell who said Postecoglou is well on his way to being recognised as one of European football’s top managers.
“He’s probably Australia’s greatest coach. And now, he’s starting to push up to be one of the greats of the European game,” Kewell said.
The Scottish champions will find out next Friday morning (2am, AEST) who they will meet in the Champions League’s group stage when the draw is conducted in Istanbul, Turkey.
