Man, I didn't make that up. It's absolutely true. His name is Postekos. Did you aussies force him to change his name? If so, that would be offensive on your part.
The original name of Ange Postecoglou is Angelos Postekoglou.
Postecoglou is a Greek-born Australian soccer manager and former player. He is currently the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. (Wiki)
Who gives a rats arse?!!!
He didn’t change his name, his parents did.
Of what relevance is it anyway?!
There’s a lot of support for Big Ange seemingly. It seems to be along the lines of;
1. We’ve an unprecedented injury crisis.
2. We’ll be grand once we have injured players back
3. We can’t keep sacking managers roughly every 18 months to 2 years.
4. Big Ange is a visionary, re-inventing the game.
5. He needs and Karrie me to implement his vision.
6. Let’s focus our ire (justified too) on Levy and Big Ange is not to blame.
7. Big Ange is a nice bloke.
Personally, my own long-standing view is he’s out of his depth and if we don’t act soon we could well be sleep walked into a real relegation battle.

Postekos
Wiki doesn't agree with you..have you got a link to your thinking?
1 and 2 are delusional. Last season. This season. Next season. Every season. It is NOT random ...
Ok cheers, thanks for checking it out. Interesting stuff.
Are we really arguing about his name?
I think there would be a lot less support if we didn't have the Jose/Nuno/Contre boreathon - if we came straight from Poch there wouldn't be the leeway, fans have been starved of attacking football and are trying very hard to believe this is the way forward.
Got to argue about something...this IS TFC...Are we really arguing about his name?
Did you click the link for the source?
At the age of 10, his parents decided to change his surname, legally. ''It was a fad in those days to shorten your name if you were Greek, so that's what they did.'' Ange Postecoglou became Ange Postekos. He didn't think much about it until he was picked in an Australian youth team as an 18-year-old, and had to get his first passport. ''I never liked the name [Postekos] and I never used it,'' he says. ''I was proud of my background, but when it came to my first passport, and my first driver's licence, there was nothing I could do about it.''
It's who we are mate.Are we really arguing about his name?
This was one of the viewpoints
"I'm very worried about the fragility of Archie Gray, who is an absolutely wonderful footballer, who should absolutely not be playing central defence in his late teens."
WALOB. He's playing Premier League football in his late teens, why on earth would that be bad?
Genuinely have no idea how some of these people get paid to write about football.
The smallest modicum of research would find the list of young players who have played other positions to get experience in their teens is not short and includes some of the very best players in the history of the sport.
The only reason for someone who knows anything about player development to write that is if they are prepared to sacrifice their integrity for some cheap hate bait.
More precisely it is Postekoglou not Postekoglou (not that it matters, but I guess that if someone calls him with the correct form he will answer in Greek
)
Interestingly shit.
Agreed. Complete shite. It’s a sport ffs
