Ange Postecoglou admits there is plenty of change that needs to happen at Tottenham if they are to consistently challenge for trophies in the future.
Spurs look set to finish fifth in the Premier League in Postecoglou’s first season in charge at the club having taken over last summer.
But his side have been on a difficult run of form of late and the Tottenham boss says further changes are needed for his vision to become a success.
He said: “We need change. Change has to happen. You can’t want to alter your course, and quite dramatically for this club because we went down a certain direction and now we’re pivoting to a whole different direction, and to expect the same people are going to be on that, it’s just not going to happen.
“We’ve had two windows and we’ve had some development of players, for sure, but when I say we’ve still got a long way to go, that’s what I’m talking about.
“We can’t be there yet because it’s impossible to say you’re going to have drastic change and yet expect everyone to be on that journey. It’s not for the want of trying, it’s just that we’re going to play a certain way, we’re going to train a certain way and we’re going to have a certain mindset, and that’s not for everyone.
“And the same way, whether it’s Liverpool or Arsenal, if you look at the beginning of their journeys, by the time they win the competition or have success, the team’s almost unrecognisable.
“That’s the reality, if you change. If you’re staying on the same course, of course, or a similar course…but we’ve done a major pivot here, so that definitely is the case, yeah.”
