From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Angelos Postecoglou (also Postekos) (born August 27, 1965) is a football (soccer) coach and former player.

Postecoglou played 193 games from 1984 to 1993 for South Melbourne FC in the National Soccer League, where he was involved in their 1984 and 1990/91 titles, the latter as captain, before moving into coaching. He coached South Melbourne from 1996 until 2000, where he led South to consecutive NSL titles in 1997/98 and 1998/99, as well as winning the 1999 Oceania Club Championship, which in turn led to their participation in the 2000 FIFA Club World Championships. After the 1999/2000 NSL season, he stood down from the South coaching role when he was appointed Australian national football team youth coach, a position he still holds.
