The definitive biography of Ange Postecoglou, Australia's first Premier League manager and instigator of the 'Angeball' phenomenon that has taken the football world by storm.

With unparalleled access to Postecoglou himself and a career spent pitch-side, leading Australian football writer Vince Rugari presents a comprehensive portrait of one of the sport's most enigmatic figures. Traversing the world interviewing players, coaches, colleagues, friends and foes alike, Rugari brings to light the tenacity, innovation and passion that have driven Postecoglou to the pinnacle of football management.

Angeball offers an unprecedented glimpse into the mind and heart of this footballing pioneer, from his humble beginnings at South Melbourne to the heights of the EPL. Fuelled by an unshakable belief in himself and his ideas, Postecoglou's unique, mesmerising style of football is inspired by the teams he enjoyed watching as a child with his father. And it works.

Angeball reveals the dynamics behind his coaching brilliance, his complicated relationship with the game in Australia and the profound impact he has had on fans worldwide.
