David Moyes says he is determined to help West Ham grow on and off the pitch.
The Irons reached the Europa League semi-finals this season, losing to eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt.
Another crack at European football again next term has already been secured ahead of the final Premier League campaign at Brighton on Sunday.
Whether that ends up in the Europa League or Europa Conference League depends if Manchester United slip up in their last match against Crystal Palace, which could see West Ham leapfrog them into sixth place.
Whatever the outcome on Sunday, Moyes believes the only way to continue progress is to always think about future plans sooner rather than later.
The West Ham manager told a press conference: "The truth is I have probably been looking forward six months to a year. How can I grow it a little bit better and stronger?
"I have been at it all the time and I have never stopped thinking about the future and growing the club.
"I want things better round the training ground and the stadium.
"There are lots of things I want to build, but with regards to players, we hope we will be able to add to what we have got next season."
