Post retired from riding in 1972 and became directeur sportif of the TI–Raleighteam in 1974.
He was a former rider who knew the inside of cycling but also a shrewd businessman who could negotiate with sponsors.
Post had a reputation of being hard on riders but his success with TI–Raleigh was exceptional.
Post had riders such as Hennie Kuiper, Gerrie Knetemann, Jan Raas and Joop Zoetemelk (all Dutch), one of the best squads in the world for a decade.
Most impressive was the 1980 edition of the Tour de France.
The TI–Raleighteam won 11 stages and Joop Zoetemelk won overall.

In 1983 Raleigh pulled out of sponsorship and Post found a new backer in Panasonic.
The success continued, this time with mainly non-Dutch riders such as Phil Anderson, Eric Vanderaerden, Erik Breukink, Viatcheslav Ekimov, Olaf Ludwig and Maurizio Fondriest.
After the withdrawal of Panasonic, Post led the Histor and then Novemail teams before leaving cycling in 1995.
He is ranked as the second most successful director behind Lomme Driessens.
Post returned to cycling as an adviser to the Rabobank team in 2005.
He died on 14 January 2011.
