Aussie coach linked with rich move to Shanghai

SYDNEY - Australia coach Ange Postecoglou was urged to stay loyal to the World Cup hopeful on Tuesday after being linked with a big-money move to Carlos Tevez's Shanghai Shenhua in China.

The 52-year-old has failed to confirm or deny reports he is considering quitting the Socceroos, who face a two-legged playoff with Honduras next month for a place at Russia 2018.

The Sydney Daily Telegraph, without naming sources, said Shenhua, one of Asia's richest clubs, wants him as coach after it fired Gus Poyet last month.
