Brisbane star Thomas Broich say former Roar coach Ange Postecoglou has what it takes to boss Socceroos BRISBANE Roar star Thomas Broich says the man who revitalised his career by bringing him to the A-League has what it takes to coach the Socceroos. As the push for Ange Postecoglou to replace sacked national coach Holger Osieck gathered steam, Broich dispelled any thoughts that his former Roar boss was better suited to club football than the international arena. However, the Roar marquee man felt fellow German Osieck deserved the chance to lead the Socceroos at next year's World Cup having got them to Brazil. "Holger's a very nice and polite man, and I was a bit surprised (he got sacked) because he brought Australia to the World Cup and you would think that he earned himself the right to coach there,"" Broich said. But I guess that's just part of being a football coach. You can't take that personally. There's always more than just one option and solution. Melbourne Victory boss Postecoglou is one of three A-League coaches, the other two being Central Coast Mariners" mentor Graham Arnold and Western Sydney Wanderers" coach Tony Popovic, under consideration for the national job. Broich said the best coach should be chosen, regardless of his nationality. "What's the point in going for an Australian guy if you can maybe get a better guy from overseas, but then again why can't an Australian guy be the best solution?" he said. Just go for quality and get the rewards. Broich admitted he was a huge fan of Postecoglou, who brought him to the A-League from Bundesliga club FC Nurnberg in 2010 at a time when he had lost his passion for the game. "His player management, his philosophy of the game, his courage ... he's a really great guy in terms of his approach,"" the 2012 Johnny Warren Medallist said of Postecoglou. If Ange were to become the national coach it might even be easier for him than coaching a club team because he gets to select the kind of players he needs to play his style. When you take over a club, it might take a long time to change the team over to your style of football. But if you're in charge of the national team, you can pick the best players, and not only the best ones, those that actually suit your style. I see that as an advantage. A few of the players he'd already know from the Victory, or from his time back at the Roar, so there'd already be a good understanding in the playing group of what is required. Those players that play overseas have got the quality to adapt to (a style) even quicker, so I don't see a problem at all. Thomas Broich with Ange Postecoglou at Roar training in 2011.
