Open rebellion as Tottenham trust slams De Zerbi's "offensive" appointment | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as the club’s new manager.

The 46-year-old Italian manager has signed a long-term contract with the London club and has been entrusted with the responsibility of helping them bounce back strongly and secure safety in the Premier League. Tottenham is fighting the relegation battle this season, and they need a managerial change after the results under Igor Tudor.

De Zerbi is highly rated across Europe, and Tottenham will hope that he can get the team firing once again. However, his appointment has been met with an explosive reaction from the Tottenham Hotspur supporters’ trust. The Italian manager’s prior comments backing Mason Greenwood have not gone down well with Tottenham fans, who believe the appointment is deeply concerning.

They also believe that Tottenham should have made an interim appointment until the end of the season and looked at other options in the summer. Such comments reflect their lack of respect and support towards the newly appointed manager. It remains to be seen how the Italian reacts to the situation.

Tottenham are in a precarious situation right now, and they need the fans, the players and the manager pulling together in the same direction in order to secure safety and finish the season strongly. A divide between the fans and the club hierarchy because of the new manager is unlikely to end well.
