As per common practice, UA-codes should always be placed on head section of the website.
But in this case, our web developers would like to place the ua-code on the footer of the site coz "it's an angular site".
Does placing the UA-code on footer of an angular site works like a normal site that has the UA-code on the head section?

There is no UX risk from placing it within the , and it is best-practice to do so. source: Google Analytics Support
