Van Gaal assures Levy he doesn't want sweeping Spurs changes

Louis van Gaal has told Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy he won't seek massive changes should he be installed as manager. The London Evening Standard says the Dutchman becomes a free agent after the World Cup, when his contract with Holland ends. He is thought to have offered assurances that he would not demand a significant transfer campaign if he does take the job.

Van Gaal met Levy in December, after the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas and before Tim Sherwood was made head coach.

Van Gaal's preference would be more to develop the current group, with particular focus on young footballers. Unlike other top-level managers, Van Gaal distrusts expensive, high-profile signings, preferring to work with men who are more receptive to his ideas.
