LONDON (AP) — Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou joked Wednesday that he would move to Sweden because of its

refusal to adopt VAR technology

.

Most soccer leagues around the world use video assistant referees to determine offsides and other key calls. But Sweden is an outlier as the only one of Europe’s top-30 ranked leagues in holding out.

“Yeah, I’m moving there,” Postecoglou said. “I don’t have a job, I’m just moving there.”

VAR calls continue to be a contentious issue and despite Postecoglou's concerns, his Tottenham team benefited from a major error earlier this season when Liverpool

erroneously had a goal ruled out

in a 2-1 loss to the Londoners.

The referees' governing body in England quickly

introduced changes to VAR

after reviewing the errors that led to Luis Diaz having a goal disallowed, despite replays clearly showing he was onside.

But Postecoglou believes more reform is needed.

“I’d change a hell of a lot on it, but again I’ve said before that I think it’s changed the game materially, which I don’t think was the intention when it was brought in,” he said ahead of Spurs' game against Chelsea in the Premier League on Thursday.
