Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou is one of six Australians to be inducted into the country's football Hall of Fame.
All six - Moya Dodd, Collette Gardiner, Postecoglou, Brendan Schwab, Walter Pless and Ted Smith - were nominated for induction via a public process, with the nominees then considered by a panel of Australian football historians. Postecoglou guided the Socceroos to the World Cup in 2014 while the Celtic boss is also regarded as one of the nation's brightest coaches, this year becoming the first Australian to manage in the Champions League. Football Australia Chair, Mr Chris Nikou, said: “The Football Australia Hall of Fame is the highest honour bestowed upon players and participants who have served the game – either on or off the field – with distinction, with no better demonstration of this than our Class of 2022.
“These six highly regarded figures of the Australian football community have not only made significant contributions at a local and national level.
