Spurs confirm appointment of De Zerbi on long-term deal | OneFootball

Tottenham have confirmed the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach.

The former Brighton & Hove Albion and Marseille boss replaces Igor Tudor, who departed earlier this week after just seven games in charge.

“I am delighted to be joining this fantastic football club, which is one of the biggest and most prestigious in the world,” De Zerbi said.

“In all my discussions with the club’s leadership, their ambition for the future has been clear – to build a team capable of reaching great achievements, and to do that playing a style of football that excites and inspires our supporters.

“I am here because I believe in that ambition and have signed a long-term contract to give everything to deliver it.

“Our short-term priority is to climb the Premier League table, which will be the complete focus until the final whistle of the last game of the season. I’m looking forward to getting out on the training pitch and working with these players to achieve that.”
