AFP, Tokyo : Former Australia coach Ange Postecoglou, who quit last month after guiding the Socceroos to the World Cup, will manage Yokohama F-Marinos in Japan next season, the club announced Tuesday. Greek-born Postecoglou will replace French coach Erick Mombaerts, who said in early November he would be leaving the J-League club at the end of the season to return to Europe. “I am excited to be moving to Japan and returning to club football,” said the 52-year-old Postecoglou in a statement, adding he was particularly looking forward to working with the club’s younger players.
