- Short-listed for Sports Book Awards Football Book of the Year 2024
Overview
Shortlisted for the Sports Book Awards Football Book of the Year Unknown in Scotland upon his arrival and unheralded in the English game, Ange Postecoglou revelled in his status as an outside agitator. He transformed a Celtic team in turmoil into serial winners, sweeping up five trophies over the course of two spectacular seasons. His appointment by Tottenham Hotspur made him the first Australian manager to take charge of a Premier League club and he had immediate success there. Revolution charts the dramatic story of Postecoglou’s instant impact on British football and explores his life and times in the sport, through the eyes of those who know him best. Examining the traits that set him apart from his peers, Revolution provides an insight into the making of a man and the unique football philosophy that has reinvigorated teams and transformed playing styles at a succession of clubs across the globe.
