Former Celtic striker Tony Cascarino has expressed doubts about Ange Postecoglou's ability to secure another Premier League managerial position, citing challenges faced during his recent spells.
Despite a successful tenure at Celtic, Postecoglou's time in England has been less convincing. His period at Tottenham Hotspur saw the team's form decline significantly, even dropping to 17th in the league standings at one point.
Furthermore, his brief stint at Nottingham Forest lasted a mere 39 days and concluded without a single victory in eight games, highlighting a lack of immediate impact.
Cascarino speculates that Postecoglou's distinct tactical approach, characterized by an aggressive attacking style and a high defensive line, might not resonate with all Premier League club owners. They may favor managers perceived as more flexible and adaptable to different game situations.
This assessment comes as Postecoglou is reportedly a leading candidate for the Scotland national team manager role, following Steve Clarke's expected departure after the upcoming World Cup.
His previous success in Scottish football with Celtic positions him as a strong contender for the international post, a move that could potentially steer him away from the demanding landscape of club management in England.
Other notable figures linked with the Scotland job include experienced managers like David Moyes and Roberto Martinez, indicating the caliber of candidates being considered for the national team.
However, Postecoglou's familiarity with the Scottish game and his proven ability to achieve success there make him a particularly attractive option for the Scottish Football Association, potentially at the expense of his Premier League aspirations.
