In April this year, Postecoglou confirmed that he would be he would be stepping down from his role as Socceroos coach after the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

During his tenure of the national team, the 51-year-old hasn't only focused his energy on shaping the way Australia plays football but shared a vision for what the code can achieve overall.

In his book 'Changing the Game', Postecoglou highlighted the many issues that are holding back the growth of the game including youth development and the structure of the A-League, just to name a few.

But the idea of swapping his position on the side line for a spot behind a desk does not interest the Socceroos boss at all.

“The one thingsin life is you’ve got to know what you are good at, and my strengths lie in coaching” said Postecoglou speaking exclusively to FourFourTwo.

“But I am passionate about the game and I think when I’m in this kind of position and I have the opportunity to perhaps influence, I’ll try to.

“I believe I can have more impact on the game by continuing as a coach and doing what I do and hopefully creating some more gains for the game, some more moments where we can say that the game has gone to another level.”

Speaking at a fundraising event that was held by the Australasian Football Institute in April, Postecoglou raised the point that football was not meeting the demands of the record number of participants.

 “Our challenge as a code is to say, 'How can we provide every boy and girl with a field to play and a quality coach?'” he said

“That’s where we should be spending all our time and resources on. The governing body can’t do that. I think it’s beyond them.

“The only way we can do that is to tackle the politicians and to say ‘If you've got 100,00 kids playing the game and we’ve only got five coaches and two pitches that’s just not good enough.’

“We’ve got to start appealing to Government and making them understand that the growth of this game can be a benefit to them as a political party and to society.

“Let’s make coach education cheaper so that every kid who wants it and who needs a good coach can get one and give them a field to play on.

“We haven’t got organised as a code to do that, we haven’t realised the power of the game. Other countries have and other countries utilise Governments to do all that work and we try and do that as a sport but we just haven’t got organised.

“Imagine being a young 10-11-year-old, it kills you, it’s the worst thing that could happen. Today there are blockages everywhere for coaches and young players and that’s the biggest challenge for us as a sport.”
