The trailblazing Aussie has been living it up since his brutal sacking.

Australian football manager Ange Postecoglou has been spotted mixing it with a celebrity chef as he lives it up following his brutal sacking from Tottenham.

Postecoglou was axed in June after two seasons in charge of the English Premier League side.

His departure came just weeks after he delivered the Spurs their first trophy in 17 years with a stunning Europa League triumph.

Postecoglou had two years remaining on his contract and received a healthy payout, reported to be around $8 million. He also received a $4m bonus for winning the Europa League.

Tottenham missed the chance at winning another trophy, losing on penalties to PSG in the UEFA Super Cup on Thursday morning.

While Spurs players suffered more heartbreak in Italy, former boss Postecoglou has been in the Greek isle of Paros.

He was filmed being hand-fed a succulent steak by celebrity chef Stefanos Saratsis at the upmarket restaurant Sta Kala Kathoumena.

In the video, which has racked up plenty of views on TikTok, Saratsis puts on a show as he cuts up the giant steak into slices before feeding Postecoglou a small piece from the end of his the knife.

Postecoglou, who famously always wins a trophy in his second season in charge, has been linked to the MLS to manage Los Angeles FC.

Meanwhile, new Spurs boss Thomas Frank has suffered a defeat in his first official match in charge after PSG scored two late goals to complete a remarkable comeback.

It secured a fifth trophy of 2025 for the French club.

Lee Kang-in scored in the 85th minute for PSG and fellow substitute Goncalo Ramos grabbed an equaliser in the fourth minute of added time to make it 2-2 in regulation on Wednesday night in Udine, Italy.

Nuno Mendes converted the clinching penalty in the shootout.

“Sometimes football is unfair,” PSG coach Luis Enrique said.

“I have to say we were very lucky in the last 10 minutes that we could score two goals ... My players had faith until the last minute, like our supporters.”

The Super Cup is an annual early-season match between the most recent winners of the Champions League (PSG) and Europa League (Tottenham), and it was hardly going to script when the English club took a 2-0 lead early in the second half.

Defenders popped up with Spurs’ goals, with Micky van de Ven showing quick reactions to prod home the opener in the 39th minute after new PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier tipped Joao Palhinha’s shot onto the crossbar.

Chevalier — playing ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who announced on Tuesday he was leaving PSG — might have been unlucky with the first goal but was to blame for the second after failing to keep out a header from newly appointed Tottenham captain Cristian Romero in the 48th.

PSG, who were involved in the Club World Cup until mid-July, finished strongly at Stadio Friuli, though, and hit Tottenham with late goals as Lee smashed in a low shot from the edge of the area and Ramos headed home Ousmane Dembele’s right-wing cross.

In the shootout, Vitinha missed PSG’s first attempt but the French team then converted four in a row. Van de Ven and Mathys Tel failed to score for Tottenham.

“There are lots of things to be happy with. That needs to be the foundation going forward,” the Spurs boss said.

“The single result, 2-2, is good. If you look into the performance, the shift the players put in ... wow, what a mentality.”

Frank took over in the off-season following the firing of Australian Ange Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years with a victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May.

PSG completed the Champions League-Ligue 1-Coupe de France treble last season, also winning the Trophee des Champions in January. They lost the Club World Cup final to Chelsea.
