Following his retirement as a player, he is still heavily involved in the football community as a coach and has now signed with Melbourne Victory as their head coach.
Net Worth
Tony Popovic’s salary is yet to be disclosed.
But with his contract with Melbourne Victory and being a former player and head coach for major A-League teams, there is no doubt that he has amassed a lot of money.
According to Notthefootyshow, he was paid over $1 million by Western Sydney Wanderers when he worked as a coach with their team.
Tony Popovic, who is also an Australian association football manager, should be paid hundreds of thousands if not millions.
Own goal
When pressure is at its highest, mankind is often driven to perform feats of which it has never considered itself capable.
Such single-mindedness helped Rivaldo make the 90th-minute cycle kick to send Barcelona into the Champions League in 2001. This prompted Gordon Banks to make a miraculous save in 1970 from a Pele header. This prompted Luis Suarez to know a goal-line. Handball and only one goal-line handball would retain Uruguay in the 2010 World Cup.
However, as strange as it sounds, these tendencies led Crystal Palace defender Tony Popovic to create a finish for which there is no other reasonable explanation.
