When asked if he had any information about his position, he told reporters: "No - no idea. We have a game tomorrow night, but it's not something I need to think about. I've never thought about those things in terms of what is important. What is important is the game that's a massive opportunity for this group of players and this football club to get closer to achieving what everyone wants to achieve. Anything other than that, particularly in terms of me, I don't really have much thought process that thinks about my career or what I'm doing in that way."
Postecoglou was also asked if the speculation about his future was affecting him and replied: "No, not at all. I don't define my career or me as a person about what people think about me. I never have, I never will. Whether I'm a good coach - one game isn't going to make a difference to that. If people think us winning tomorrow suddenly makes me a better manager than what I am today, or if losing tomorrow somehow makes me a worse manager, I guess that's their burden not mine. I just don't think that way in terms of my self-esteem. I couldn't care less, I really couldn't care less. There's no burden on me, or anxiety on me. What I'm doing is thinking we have a great opportunity to get to the final four of a major tournament. I'm not going to let that slip by without a fight, irrespective of what may come the day after."
