De Zerbi, the chosen one to save Cuti Romero's Tottenham from relegation | OneFootball

Spurs are one point above the relegation zone, in what could be their first-ever Premier League relegation.

Seven matches. Five defeats, one draw, and one win. That is the record left by Igor Tudor’s 45 days in charge of Tottenham. A meager average of 0.57 points per match. Even worse if we look at the Premier League, where he managed only a draw against Liverpool and lost his other four games.

That left Tottenham one point above the relegation zone, an unprecedented situation for the London club, which has played in every Premier League season since the competition was created in 1992. And, with seven matches remaining, they made the decision to replace Tudor with Roberto De Zerbi, who left Olympique de Marseille just over a month ago. This was revealed by Fabrizio Romano.

“Tottenham have agreed to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach. De Zerbi will sign a five-year contract after accepting the challenge,” the renowned journalist wrote on his personal X account.

Roberto De Zerbi is a coach Tottenham have always liked, but he will not arrive under ideal circumstances: a depleted squad, inherited players, and a critical situation in the Premier League, where results matter much more than style.
