Roberto De Zerbi will already return to service. Just a few weeks after his departure from Olympique de Marseille, the 46-year-old technician returned to the Premier League and signed with Tottenham until 2031. At Spurs, the former Brighton coach will have the difficult task of saving a drifting team, which currently occupies 16th place in the English championship and which is closer than ever to relegation to the Championship. A challenge that De Zerbi seems ready to take on.

I am delighted to be joining this fantastic football club, one of the biggest and most prestigious in the world. During all my discussions with the club’s management, their ambition for the future became clear to me: to build a team capable of achieving great things, by practicing a style of play that excites and inspires our supporters. I am here because I believe in this ambition and I have signed a long-term contract to give everything to make it a reality. Our short-term priority is to climb the Premier League table, which will be our one and only objective until the final whistle of the last match of the season. I can’t wait to get on the training ground and work with these players to achieve this “, he told the club media.
