Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach, with urgent talks ongoing following the departure of Igor Tudor.
Tottenham parted ways with Igor Tudor after just 44 days in charge, following a poor run of results that culminated in a damaging 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. That loss left Spurs just one point above the relegation zone, intensifying the urgency for a managerial solution.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his x handle, Spurs are attempting to secure an immediate agreement with De Zerbi, despite initially identifying him as their top target for the summer. The North London club now want the Italian in place as soon as possible as they battle to avoid relegation.
Fabrizio confirmed:
Tottenham are pushing, trying to get green light from Roberto De Zerbi for immediate appointment. Always been top target for summer but #THFC insist to make it happen now as talks are ongoing. Spurs see De Zerbi as ideal candidate for long term.
Reports according to Softfootball indicate Tottenham are prepared to offer De Zerbi a significant survival bonus to take on the challenge immediately, underlining the high stakes involved.
While Mauricio Pochettino remains a popular choice among fans, his current role with the United States men’s national soccer team makes a return unlikely at this stage.
De Zerbi is now seen as the ideal long-term solution as Spurs fight to stabilize their season.
