Tottenham Appoint De Zerbi in Battle for Premier League Survival

De Zerbi said he will focus on organizing Spurs and lifting them clear of the relegation zone, with the club one point above danger.

  • In London, Tottenham Hotspur appointed the Italian Roberto de Zerbi on a long-term contract to rescue the club from relegation. The 46-year-old signed after being sacked by Marseille in February.
  • This season has been unsettled for the club following the exits of Nuno Espirito Santo and Igor Tudor. Sporting director Johan Lange confirmed de Zerbi replaces Tudor, who failed to bring stability during his short spell.
  • With seven matches left, the team sits just above the relegation zone. De Zerbi said, "Our short-term priority is to climb the Premier League table, which will be the complete focus until the final whistle."
  • Notably, the appointment sparked debate regarding the club's values. His previous comments backing Mason Greenwood drew criticism from the Women of the Lane supporter group.
  • For a side that lifted the Europa League not long ago, the current decline is sharp. De Zerbi will face Sunderland away on April 12 before making his home debut against Brighton.
