PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino has given an insight into his philosophy when arriving at a new club.
The Argentine spent time with Southampton before moving to Tottenham Hotspur in 2014.
After five years at Spurs, Pochettino took up a new challenge with mega-rich PSG in January 2021.
Manchester United are reportedly interested in hiring Pochettino as their new manager next summer, and the 50-year-old has stressed the importance of building culture at a club.
"Always for me it's about when you arrive at a new club, it's always about agreeing things and try to decide the best strategy to arrive where you want," Pochettino said.
"But always building with knowing the culture of the club, knowing how the fans love football, the history of the club to be how they are. This is all really important.
"Of course it's important to translate your ideas and stick with your ideas and to try to implement your ideas, but as a coaching staff to arrive at a club like Tottenham, respecting always the history of the club, respecting the taste of the fans and the culture.
"That, I think for me is the most important thing to start to build what you want.
"After, you can change small things to feel you are part of the history and philosophy, but for me, the most important thing is to design an expectation and philosophy together when you arrive rather than try to arrive and to change everything and say, 'this is the main idea and if you don't stick with this it's impossible to win'."
