Angelos "Ange" Postecoglou (/ˈændʒ ˌpɒstəˈkɒɡluː/ ANJ POS-tə-KOG-loo; Greek: Άγγελος Ποστέκογλου, Angelos Postekoglou; born 27 August 1965) is a Greek-born Australian Football manager and former player. He is the current manager of Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

Postecoglou was born in Nea Filadelfeia in Athens, but grew up in Melbourne. He spent most of his club career playing as a defender for South Melbourne Hellas, and played four games for the Australian national team (nicknamed the "Socceroos"). Postecoglou became the manager of South Melbourne in 1996, leading the club to win two National Soccer League (NSL) titles and the Oceania Club Championship in 1999. He then led the men's national under-17 and under-20 teams.

Postecoglou managed Brisbane Roar and later Melbourne Victory in the A-League. He led Brisbane Roar to win the Premiership in 2011 and the Championship in 2011 and 2012. He managed the Socceroos from 2013 until 2017, leading the Socceroos to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and later to win the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. Two weeks after Australia qualified for the 2018 World Cup, Postecoglou resigned as manager of the team.

Postecoglou later managed J1 League club Yokohama F. Marinos, leading them to win the league in 2019. He then led Scottish Premiership club Celtic to win five trophies (including two league titles) in two seasons. In 2023, he became head coach of Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.
