Celtic coach Harry Kewell has admitted that he aims to be Australia boss one day because he's working with their "greatest-ever manager", Ange Postecoglou.

The former Liverpool midfielder was on commentary duties for his homeland media during the Socceroos' thrilling win over Tunisia.

It is a result that means they have the chance to qualify from the group stages of a World Cup for the first time since 2006.

The 44-year-old scored the winning goal against Croatia to send his country into the knockout phase of the international tournament 16 years ago.

He will not be commentating on their final game against Denmark thought because he's off to Portugal for the Hoops'  training camp ahead of the Scottish Premiership returning on December 17.

During his stint on the World Cup coverage, the former Crawley Town, Notts County, Oldham Athletic and Barnet boss revealed his ultimate ambition is to one day emulate his current boss and take charge of the Socceroos.

 "Why not?" he said.

"Everyone else puts their hand up! Of course, people turn around and say, ‘He doesn’t have experience.’

"I think my results in the UK were OK. I’m working at Celtic with our greatest-ever manager [Postecoglou].

Celtic Way:

"I’m learning from the best, so why not? I’ve been professional my whole life and with the opportunity Ange has given me, the thought of extending my agreed time in Doha and doing more commentary never crossed my mind.

Kewell was keen to stress how highly he thinks of his current boss and that despite how well things have been going for the Parkhead side recently domestically, there is still room for improvement.

He continued: "He’s a fantastic guy, and what he’s doing at Celtic is something different.

"A key part of my job is to help the clubs attacking players with their movements and decision-making. It needs to be taught.

"Even I have players at Celtic who still need to be taught.

"I needed it when I was playing. I remember when I was 30 and Frank Rijkaard used to pull me aside and talk to me about my movement patterns. I was like, ‘Damn!’"
