Description

Unknown in Scotland, unexpected in Paradise. When Ange Postecoglou checked-in at Celtic Park he faced a momentous task as he sought to write the wrongs of a season to forget and restore the Hoops to the top of the Premier Division.

Would a track record in Australian and Japanese football transfer to the unique landscape of the Scottish game Would a man without a playing track record in Europe command the respect of a dressing room in turmoil Could SC deliver the trophies that Celtic supporters craved and directors demanded The answer to all of those questions was a resounding yes as Postecoglou set about reinvigorating his new club, transforming the playing style and making the most of untapped transfer markets and his intimate knowledge of the Far East.

Revolution charts the dramatic story of Postecoglous instant impact on Celtic and charts his life and times in football, through the eyes of those who know him best. Exploring the traits that set him apart from his playing peers and the coaching education that prepared him for his biggest challenge, Revolution provides an insight into the making of a man and his unique football philosophy.
