ANGE Postecoglou's Melbourne Victory lieutenant Kevin Muscat says the Socceroos can expect a culture shock under their new boss and has declared him ready for his international challenge.

Postecoglou arrives in Sydney tomorrow for day one of Socceroos duty, but his highly anticipated inaugural squad for the Costa Rica friendly next month is unlikely to be picked until tomorrow week.

Muscat, who won 51 Socceroos caps between 1994-2006, said parts of the past 18 months under Postecoglou at Victory had been gruelling and believed those expectations wouldn't change for the Socceroos.

"One thing's for sure there will be a certain shock that goes around the place. It can be taken the wrong way, but people will understand and be grateful," Muscat said.
"The ones that are fortunate enough to hang around and work with Ange will certainly be better for the experience, no doubt about it.
"It will be challenging, it will be gruelling, no two ways about it. The boss certainly knows what he wants and how he wants to go about it and people are going to have to ride the wave with him or else they will get left behind."
Muscat, whose Australian coaches included Eddie Thomson, Terry Venables and Frank Farina, said Postecoglou was ready to step up.
"I think so. It's certainly a different challenge not having the players regularly, but from what I've seen in how the boss analyses and thinks about football, the challenges will be different but they're still football challenges," he said.
"I'm looking forward to it with a great deal of excitement to see what he does, with the way we play and how we go about it. Knowing him I've got a fair idea but I'll be watching from a distance with a fair bit of anticipation."
Muscat said Postecoglou would already have an idea of the ideas he wants to implement and warned — expect the unexpected.
"People can second guess and try to assume what he's going to do but he's certainly his own man," Muscat said.
"Opinions will count for nothing because once he focuses on something he'll find a solution and it will certainly be an enjoyable ride for a lot of the people that jump on board."
