Tottenham Hotspur in talks for Roberto De Zerbi’s staff as negotiations with Italian progress well | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have been in talks with Roberto De Zerbi for a week and his staff are now being discussed, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club want the Italian to replace the departed Igor Tudor, and talks between both parties have finally been progressing well.

De Zerbi was not keen on joining Spurs with only a few games left in the season, but it appears an agreement has almost been reached to bring him to North London.

The fact that negotiations over his backroom staff are ongoing speaks volumes, and the Italian could be on his way to England in the coming hours.

De Zerbi was linked with Tottenham after Thomas Frank was sacked in February but the job went to Tudor instead.

The Croatian last 44 days and seven games in the job and Spurs could get relegated if no immediate improvement happens in the coming days and weeks.

De Zerbi knows the Premier League from his time at Brighton & Hove Albion and will be desperate to hit the ground running if appointed as the next Tottenham boss.

The Lilywhites are 17th in the table after 31 games, just one point above the relegation zone, and they have to improve significantly over the next seven fixtures to remain in the Premier League.

Spurs are back in action after the international break on April 12 when they take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, and De Zerbi could be taking charge of training in the coming days once everything is wrapped up.

Tudor’s former assistant Bruno Saltor is currently leading training until a new managerial appointment is made, and fans will hope their next boss has what it takes to keep them in the top-flight.
