UPDATE: Ange Postecoglou has been offered the Socceroos coaching job and will be confirmed as Holger Osieck's successor at a media conference, most likely on Wednesday morning.

The only thing that had been standing in the way of an announcement was the desire of the Melbourne Victory board to hammer out a seven-figure compensation deal for the loss of his services.

Outside the Victory offices on Tuesday morning, Postecoglou confirmed he had been in talks with the FFA but said he was just concentrating on Victory's game against Brisbane on Friday. He was, however, unable to confirm definitively if he would be coaching the team. "We'll see what happens, we'll see how it goes," he told Fox Sports.

It is unlikely he will be on the touchline for Victory on Friday and it is believed he will walk away from his role at the club as soon as the appointment is confirmed.
