Unnamed Chinese Super League Club Reportedly Eyeing Ange Postecoglou

Australian national team Manager Ange Postecoglou "is a target for a Chinese Super League club, with mounting suggestions the cashed-up outfit is set to make an approach" for him, according to Lynch & Bossi of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. While he has "almost 18 months to run" on his five-year contract with Football Federation Australia, Postecoglou "is emerging as one of the top items on a shopping list for at least one wealthy Chinese club," which is "unlikely to wait until he becomes a free agent" before making its move. Sources suggested the Asian Cup-winning coach has been "closely monitored by the unnamed club -- which has the financial clout to make an offer that would dwarf his current salary -- in recent weeks." Postecoglou's "stocks in Asia are still soaring on the back of his success with the Socceroos," but it is his "shrewd handling" of an Australian team "lacking recognised big-name players" that has seen him become "increasingly in demand." It "seems unlikely that Postecoglou would take the bait at this stage of his career" with World Cup qualification now reaching the crucial stage, the Confederations Cup on the horizon and the World Cup in just over a year. But football is a "brutal and pragmatic game" (SMH, 2/26).
