He noted that Postecoglou's approach remains consistent regardless of the level, which has helped him to achieve success at every stop in his managerial career. He also admitted that he has still remained in touch with the Australian.
Luongo said:
"I always thought, I just thought once he gets the opportunity, and he, like, believes in his coaching and his methods so much that he could do it at any club, whether it's Barcelona or Tottenham or League One team, you know, he'll implement the same style and the same tactics and the same ideas and culture and everything, so yeah, I thought once he gets a chance, like a lot of us actually, once he gets a chance then I think he'll definitely take it, and he has, everyone loves him, I think, from the outside"
When asked if he is looking forward to facing him, he said:
"Yes, yes, especially, I'll just say to you, he doesn't really talk to you when you're his player, he talks to me more when I'm not his player, but yeah, that'll be exciting, and it's the first club that I come over."
