New Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou will begin work at Hotspur Way on Saturday when the club's non-international players are due back for the start of pre-season.
Postecoglou has been working behind the scenes since he was named Antonio Conte's successor on a four-year deal on June 6 but Saturday will be the Australian's first session with a skeleton squad and his new coaching staff at Spurs' Hertfordshire base.
His compatriot Scott Munn, Spurs' new chief football officer and chairman Daniel Levy's de facto No2, is also due to officially start work on Saturday, having completed gardening leave with the City Football Group.
New signing James Maddison and England team-mate Harry Kane are not due to report for pre-season until the week starting July 10, however, with all international players allowed three weeks off before resuming club duties.
Among Postecoglou's first tasks will be talks with Kane, who is the subject of firm interest from Bayern Munich and has entered the final year of his contract.
The England captain has said that "a lot needs to change" at the club and last season called on the new manager to restore some of the "standards" and "values" lost since Mauricio Pochettino's sacking in November 2019.
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, Spurs' other new addition this summer, is also expected to arrive later in the month after being in the Italy squad for the Nations League finals.
Among the handful of players set to start work under Postecoglou this weekend is Eric Dier, who is fit again after groin surgery ruled him out of the end of last season and happy to stay at Spurs.
Dier has a year remaining on his contract and has been linked with a move away from north London this summer but is said to be excited to work under Postecoglou and confident his future remains with Spurs.
The club have nonetheless turned their attentions to strengthening Postecoglou's defence after the signings of Vicario and Maddison, and are targeting a new centre-back, with Bayer Leverkusen's Edmond Tapsoba, Micky van de Ven of Wolfsburg and Clement Lenglet, who spent last season on loan from Barcelona, all targets.
Levy is continuing to lean on Spurs' former managing director Fabio Paratici, who resigned his post in April, for advice in the transfer market but Spurs remain actively searching for a new sporting director.
Paratici stepped down after losing an appeal against a 30-month worldwide FIFA ban from working in football but the world governing body has since lifted elements of the sanction, enabling the Italian to advise his former club on a consultancy basis.
