News about Tommy Oar

Under Ange Postecoglou, Mark Schwarzer's Socceroos career came to an end. Tommy Oar's prospered. Both have no doubt that the incoming Tottenham Hotspur manager will make the arduous calls necessary to turn his remarkable Premier League debut into a success. When he was announced as the first Australian manager of a Premier League club on Tuesday, Postecoglou became the first Australian manager of a Premier League club, ending his trophy-laden stint at Celtic.

Arnold named his final squad of 26 Socceroos players on Tuesday, with the Australians competing in a tough league featuring France, Denmark, and Tunisia. Garang Kuol's name was granted a place in the squad, while Roma starlet Christian Volpato was not chosen - whether that decision was down to the 18-year-old or the coach remains uncertain.

With the likely omission of goalkeeper Mitch Langerak from the World Cup squad, former Socceroo Tommy Oar has convincingly accused coach Graham Arnold of taking 'jobs for the boys to a whole new degree.' Arnold is set to announce his 26 players squad on Tuesday afternoon, but reports that Langerak based in Japan will be left out in favour of Andrew Redmayne and Danny Vukovic as back-ups to skipper Mat Ryan have enraged many football fans, including Oar.
