The sixty-year-old specialist will now serve as a technical observer for the organization. He began his debut in the new role by analyzing a match held at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool.
Postecoglou will closely assist European football's governing body in identifying tactical changes and new trends in modern games, according to information released by Goal. The Australian specialist officially assumed his duties in January of this year.

From now on, Postecoglou will be at the heart of the UEFA Champions League and other prestigious international competitions, observing matches directly from the stadiums and studying their technical aspects.
The experienced coach's first major assignment was to analyze the Champions League quarter-final match between Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. Although the encounter ended in a home defeat for the Merseyside club, the specialist noted positive aspects of the hosts' performance in his report.
He particularly highlighted the organized defensive actions of the Liverpool players and the effectiveness of the pressure applied to the opponent. The detailed analytical report prepared by the specialist will be included in UEFA's official technical review, which will be published at the end of the current season.
