Ange Postecoglou isn’t particularly close with his players and prefers to keep a certain distance in order to maintain the air of authority that leaves no-one in any doubt who the boss is.
It’s proved a successful approach for the Aussie and Celtic so far, with two League Cups and one Scottish Premiership title in the bag, while a second could be confirmed against Hearts on Sunday. There’s also the small matter of a potential Treble, with Celtic one victory over Inverness CT away from scooping the lot this season.
Craig Moore knows his compatriot well, having worked with the Australian Football federation while Postecoglou was national team boss. And the more aloof approach is perfectly highlighted by an anecdote Moore shared regarding former Hibs star Mark Milligan, who was taken aback by the contrast in the manager’s demeanour since playing under him domestically in the A League compared to the Socceroos.
