Tottenham Hotspur are intensifying efforts to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach, with negotiations progressing rapidly.
Softfootball understands This urgent move follows the recent departure of Igor Tudor, who left the club after just 44 days in charge. His exit came after a poor run of form, highlighted by a damaging 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his x handle, both parties have been in regular contact as Spurs push to reach a full agreement.
Fabrizio’s statement:
Roberto De Zerbi and Tottenham, in regular contact since yesterday to try find an agreement and get the deal done. Five year contract ready with top salary, with RDZ and his camp in discussions with Spurs. It’s always been the priority; despite links with Dyche & more names.
A five-year contract with a top-level salary is already on the table, with De Zerbi and his representatives currently in discussions over the final details.
The Italian has long been Tottenham’s priority target, despite links to other candidates, including Sean Dyche. The club are now accelerating talks in a bid to secure his appointment immediately.
That result left Spurs hovering just above the relegation zone, increasing the pressure on the club to act quickly.
With the season entering a serious phase, Tottenham see De Zerbi as the ideal long-term solution to stabilize results and rebuild confidence at the club.
