“First of all, he’s a great guy,” Kewell said. “I think it is great news that they have opted for an Australian player.” Sky sports.
“I heard it’s just a 12-month renewable contract, which is unfortunate, because I think it takes the manager longer to put his stamp on it.

Postecoglou has a history of taking the time to start with a club that started slowly with their last team, Yokohama Marinos, before leading them to the J-League title in 2019.
After Rangers convincingly won the Scottish Premier League title last season with Steven Gerrard, Kewell hopes Postecoglou will pose some serious questions to his former teammate.
