The Italian coach never minces his words. While Tottenham won their first match of 2026 against Wolverhampton in the Premier League this Saturday, Roberto De Zerbi was present at a press conference after the game. The former OM technician also mentioned the injury to Xavi Simons, before talking about the next deadlines, which will count for maintaining the 18th in the championship.
“I believe we will remain standing. If I stay here, it’s because I’m positive and not because I’m Tottenham coach. It is not important if you are Tottenham on the pitch, the most important thing is the qualities of the players and the human levels of the players. West Ham are a good team, but so are Tottenham” he told journalists. Then, he clearly explained the delicate situation of Londoners. “I worked with them every day and they are professionals, good guys and they are suffering from this situation. I just need to give them orders”. The messages are clear and the message remains in everyone’s minds.
