Postecoglou fronted the media to talk about his 25-man squad for the Honduras play-off, but he got anything but. 

Journalists immediately grilled him on the speculation surrounding his future, with reports suggesting Postecoglou will not be at the World Cup next year for Australia - even if they qualify. 

But the 52-year-old kept the same stance he's gone with over the last few weeks, insisting his only focus is on the next two games against Honduras. 

Asked if this is tarnishing his legacy, Postecoglou defended his beliefs. 

“I know what my legacy is…it’s never going to be defined by one game or one result,” the Socceroos coach said.

“I hope my legacy will be someone who believes in something and followed it through.

“The rest of it in the last little period I’ve been called ‘Con Postecoglou’ because Con and Ange are obviously easily misinterpreted, both ethnic names.

“I’ve had my surname twisted in headlines for something really clever and funny, which took me back to my primary school days.

“I’ve been called egocentric, selfish. There’s been calls for me to get sacked. But I’m still here and I won’t change who I am or what I believe.

“That will be my legacy, and some people won’t like that because they don’t like me…others may appreciate that.

“That’s what my legacy will be and it won’t be a result or a performance.”

However, Ange says all this stuff does not hurt him. 

“It doesn’t hurt me, that’s how people want to define me at the present moment after 30 years of football in this country,” Postecoglou said.

“If I start changing the way I am because of that kind of stuff, then I do tarnish my legacy.

“I’ve never had a problem with any criticism, ever.

“Criticism is healthy, debate is healthy. I have no issue.”
