It feels like a pivotal few months for Tottenham as they aim to head it back in the right direction after a disappointing few years.
Spurs have been involved in back-to-back relegation battles, finishing 17th two seasons on the bounce in the Premier League.
There needs to be change at Tottenham in various departments if they want to avoid being in the bottom half of the Premier League table once again.
Spurs appear to have made the correct managerial decision after Roberto De Zerbi guided them away from the relegation zone after an impressive turnaround.
Now, there could be further changes with the North London club, particularly behind the scenes, as they look to reshape the backroom team.
Tottenham Fail With Move After Talks
According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, Sebastian Kehl will not join Tottenham after holding concrete talks with the club.
Kehl was Tottenham's leading candidate for a newly created director role, with discussions ongoing over the last few months, but he has now rejected a move to Spurs.
Kehl was expected to help reshape the squad and work closely with Johan Lange, but it's now back to the drawing board for Tottenham as they look to find a new director.
The German left Borussia Dortmund back in March before Tottenham then held talks to try to bring him to the Premier League.
Huge Change Needed at Tottenham
There's no doubt there needs to be a lot of change at Tottenham when it comes to decisions made behind the scenes. Their recruitment certainly has to improve if they want to head back in the right direction as a club.
The blame certainly can't be solely placed on the managers. Plus, it was Tottenham's decision to bring in the likes of Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor during the 2025/26 season.
Now that the manager situation has been resolved, with De Zerbi doing a great job since he arrived at the club, changes can now be made behind the scenes to help Tottenham get back on track.
