Join our Fantasy SRP leagueBosnich: Where should Ange manage next?
Nicholas Quinlan • February 13th, 2026 9:25 pm
Mark Bosnich have run through the options that Ange Postecoglou could take as he rebuilds his reputation within the football world as a manager.
Despite having won Tottenham their first title in 17 years with the Europa League, the Australian still found himself without a job after the side at the end of the 2024/25 season finished 17th in the Premier League (their lowest finish in the PL era).
And a 39-day stint with Nottingham Forest last year would see Postecoglou go winless through eight games before owner Evangelos Marinakis decided to end his tenure.
Since his sacking in October, Postecoglou has largely remained out of the public eye whilst having done some work as a UEFA technical observer.
But it does seem unlikely that his tenure at Forest would be his last.
When asked by Adam Peacock about where Postecoglou should coach next, the former Manchester United goalkeeper felt that it could be in his best interest to stay in England, albeit at a lower level.
“I’d like to see him stay in England,” Bosnich said on SEN’s Arvos with Adam Peacock.
“I don’t think he goes back to a Premier League club straight away, but I don’t understand why he wouldn’t consider the Championship as one of the best-paid clubs and one of the most popular leagues.
“It’s the fifth or sixth (most popular leagues in world football) behind the five major leagues, and then it’s the Championship and (fifth/sixth) in money accrued and take a team back up.
Bosnich also felt that Postecoglou should consider options elsewhere on the continent.
“Other than that, I’m sure there will be other opportunities that will arise. There’s Spain, which is one of the meccas of football in terms of what they’ve achieved,” he continued.
“The top three managers in the Premier League right now are Spanish (Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Unai Emery) and what they’ve achieved over the last 15 years.
“Italy, I think his style of football won’t go down particularly well if they start losing. If they are winning, then they’ll be fine, but they won’t.
“Germany could be (an option), but I think the most suitable one would be somewhere in Spain, maybe a middle range club.
“So, the real big superclubs can take a look and go, ‘Okay, it didn’t end well at Spurs even though he won a trophy’.
“The Nottingham Forest move, it’s easy for us to say in hindsight because he probably thought that 'I can do this', but didn’t do himself any favours in terms of being linked with any other bigger clubs.
“But he’s still got a lot to give to the game.”
