Roberto De Zerbi already finds himself under pressure at Tottenham after a disastrous start to the season. After five days of the Premier League, Spurs are last, still without a victory, despite more than 400 million euros spent to recruit ten players this summer. In this context, Tim Sherwood believes that London supporters would be ready to welcome Mauricio Pochettino back if the club decided to part ways with the Italian. “ Tottenham fans would prefer Mauricio Pochettino over Roberto De Zerbi », assures the former Spurs coach reports The Standardwhile recalling that the current squad no longer has much to do with that led by the Argentinian.
Pochettino had spent five and a half years on the Tottenham bench before his dismissal in 2019, just months after leading the club to the Champions League final. Sherwood has excellent memories of his time there, notably marked by second and third places in the championship, even if no trophy was won. However, he believes that the significant investments made this summer considerably increase expectations around De Zerbi. “ I can think of many coaches who would have liked to see £400 million spent on their squad “, he said, while Spurs’ poor results are already fueling rumors around the future of their coach.
