Recently, Talksport talked about Postkoglu, the current Nottingham Forest coach and former Australia coach. They revealed that former Australian international McGowan recalled the embarrassing experience of taking a long-distance flight with him.
The 60-year-old Postkoglu is currently the head coach of Nottingham Forest. He was fired by Tottenham at the end of last season. Postkoglu coached the Australian national team and led the team to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
McGowen was a member of that national team and played for Postkoglu during his four-year coaching tenure. While the 22-cap Australia player recognized his former manager's tactical prowess, he admitted he was nervous when he found out he would be sitting alongside Postkoglu.
is accepting the BBC In an interview on the Morning Fire podcast in December 2023, McGowan said: "I did some pranks with some of the old players, which I really regret now when I think about it. I was at Hearts at the time and I was only getting a salary of £100 a week, so I used to put the coffee bill in their room because they obviously could afford it."
"But I didn't know they could choose the seats on the plane when we got from When I got my ticket from Sydney to Dubai, I saw it was seat 1A, in the front of the business class. After I got on the plane, everything was ready, and Postkoglu was sitting next to me. "
"It was the worst 16 hours of my life. I didn't even dare to disturb him to go to the toilet. I had to hold it in and never wake him up. The other teammates were ordering wine, but I only dared to ask for water. Left directly. "
The 36-year-old McGowan's evaluation of Postkoglu may give Nottingham Forest fans hope that the club's appointment will be successful: "He is the best coach I have ever worked with. He was very cold and scary and I still fear him to this day and he would have some non-negotiable rules. "
"As an ordinary player, I like this style. He just tells you what to do and you do it to the best of your ability, and he does a really good job at that. Some coaches give you free reign, but I couldn't do that at all. Just tell me what to do and I'll try to get it done. "
Postkoglu has had a rocky start at Nottingham Forest, with seven games without a win, which has put tremendous pressure on him, even though he only succeeded Nuno as head coach in September. There are rumors that Sean Dyche could be his successor.
