31 Mar
Summary
- Roberto De Zerbi appointed Tottenham's new manager on a long-term contract.
- Spurs are one point above relegation with seven matches remaining.
- De Zerbi aims to keep the team in the Premier League this season.
Tottenham has confirmed Roberto De Zerbi as their new manager, signing him to a long-term contract. His immediate priority is to steer the club clear of relegation, with Spurs currently just one point and one place above the drop zone with seven games remaining this season.
De Zerbi replaces Igor Tudor, whose departure was mutually agreed upon after a challenging period. The Italian manager, known for his innovative and aggressive style, previously managed Brighton and Marseille, achieving notable success.
Despite past considerations and concerns, including those surrounding Mason Greenwood's signing at Marseille, Spurs have made a U-turn on appointing De Zerbi. He expressed his belief in the club's ambition and committed to delivering achievements through exciting football.
De Zerbi's reputation precedes him as a top-level coach, with Pep Guardiola praising his unique approach. While his previous tenures have been successful, they have also been marked by volatility, a factor Spurs have reportedly investigated.
