Wells has a first hand look at how Postecoglou sets up training and gets the players to buy into his methods.
"It was made clear to me by the club that they would like me to stay on in some capacity if it was possible without knowing who the next manager would be. So when the club then appointed Ange they wanted me to go and meet Ange which was a logical next step over the summer," explained Wells in the latest episode of the Off the Shelf podcast.
"So I flew to Italy to meet Ange on his family holiday which again was an incredible experience. I went there and I had prepared something and I presented to Ange. I had a good four to five hours with him, talking football, talking his pathway, my pathway, his coaching philosophy, my beliefs on the game and then Ange's vision for the club and how he wanted the team to play and how he was going to transform things.
"I came away from that conversation just so invigorated and inspired and desperate to be a part of it. Obviously though you're still not sure. You're never certain. I thought we connected quite well but you can never be sure of the impression you've left. To then get the phone call from the club that Ange wanted me to stay on as part of his coaching staff was a massive honor."
