Frank Lampard has huge respect for the job Ange Postecoglou has done in just one season at Celtic.
The Everton boss will go head-to-head with the Aussie in the Parkhead gaffer's homeland this winter after the Toffees confirmed their participation in the Sydney Super Cup. They replaced Rangers in the controversial tournament after the Ibrox club withdrew. Lampard watched on from Merseyside as Postecoglou recovered from a tough start to life at Parkhead to guide the Hoops to the Scottish Premiership title. He also picked up the Premier Sports Cup to make it a double silverware winning debut season in the Celtic hotseat.
Lampard guided Everton to Premier League safety after replacing Rafa Benitez at Goodison Park. He’s now gearing up for a first full season in charge as Everton target European football following last season’s scare. That Postecoglou was able to implement his own style despite arriving in Scotland with no backroom staff of his own stood out for Lampard. And to do that while collecting trophies drew high praise from the Chelsea legend.
