Perth Glory head coach David Zdrilic said the Isuzu UTE A-League team are “making moves in the background” and their rebuild is going to “happen very quickly” as he provided an update on the club’s transfer plans.
It is a new era for Perth, who have new owners and a new head coach following their wooden-spoon finish in 2023-24 but the Glory have struggled this season with just one point from six matches.
When asked if he expected Sail to still be at the club beyond January transfer window, it triggered an update on Glory’s transfer plans.
“Not looking at that at the moment,” said Zdrilic ahead of Sunday’s clash against high-flying Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park.
“I think it’s been clear I’ve made many changes in the line-up. In all the press-conferences we’ve done, we’ve gone over the fact we need to find the right balance in this squad.
“However, we’re also making moves in the background for January and next year.
“I’m not going to name any players but everybody is going to be looked at and see what the situation is.
“But we clearly know we need to strengthen and know what we need to strengthen and we’re going to start work on it. With the January window there’s limited ability to do things but we’re trying to do everything we can.
“I’ve spoken at length about obviously we’re looking at the results and what’s happening right now, but where we’re going to end up as a club in terms of the personnel of the team, but also the club and all the areas of the club is very different.
