Roberto De Zerbi has been appointed as Tottenham Hotspur's third manager of the season, tasked with saving the club from their first relegation since 1977. De Zerbi emphasized the club's attacking 'DNA' and vowed to instill a spirit of courage and goals in his seven-game mission to secure safety.
Spurs currently sit 17th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone, with a negative goal difference and a winless streak in 2026. De Zerbi acknowledged the urgency, stating he wants to instill organization with and without the ball, focusing on character and attacking prowess.
Despite a setback with forward Mohammed Kudus' injury, De Zerbi remains committed to his long-term vision, believing he deserves to manage in the Premier League and is prepared to stay regardless of the outcome. He aims to leverage the attacking talents of players like Randal Kolo Muani and Mathys Tel to achieve his goals.
