Welcome to the latest episode of The Overlap’s football history podcast, It Was What It Was.

It was in Australia where Puskas, the manager, coached Postecoglou, the player, at South Melbourne Hellas.
Jonathan and Rob detail Ange Postecoglou’s life, including the influence of his Greek father, and how Puskás's coaching philosophy left a lasting impact on him. Discover how these experiences shaped Postecoglou’s approach to management and contributed to his success.
As Postecoglou gets underway in his second season with Tottenham Hotspur, join us to uncover the enduring legacy of Ferenc Puskas on one of today’s most innovative coaches.

Join Jonathan and Rob as we go back to school with Ruben Amorim, speaking to the mentors who forged him as a coach.
