Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola showers Ange Postecoglou with praise after Aussie landed the top job at Tottenham

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has lauded Ange Postecoglou's ground-breaking arrival in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur.

Postecoglou was announced as Spurs manager on a four-year deal on Tuesday and will take the reins on July 1, becoming the first Australian to lead a team in the top flight of English men's football.

Legendary manager Guardiola and Postecoglou crossed paths in July 2019 when the Melburnian was leading J1 League club Yokohama F. Marinos.
