Spurs Close in on De Zerbi as Talks Reach Advanced Stage

Tottenham aims to appoint Roberto De Zerbi on a five-year deal to avoid relegation with seven games left, after a 13-game winless streak, club sources say.

  • Tottenham have reached an agreement in principle with Roberto De Zerbi to become their permanent head coach, identifying the former Brighton manager as their primary target to avoid relegation into the Championship.
  • Spurs parted company with interim head coach Igor Tudor on Sunday afternoon after five defeats in seven matches during his shambolic 44-day reign.
  • Three supporter groups—Proud Lilywhites, Women of the Lane, and Spurs Reach—urged the club on Friday not to appoint De Zerbi, citing concerns over his association with Marseille forward Mason Greenwood in 'No to De Zerbi' statements.
  • Mauricio Pochettino, the club's popular former manager, appears ruled out after emphasizing his commitment to the USA team, stating 'We have our full focus here on the World Cup' on Monday.
  • Facing a 13-match winless run in the EPL, De Zerbi confronts an enormous task with Spurs holding only seven games remaining to secure top-flight survival and avoid relegation.
