Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their new manager following an agreement between both parties.

According to reports from UK media outlets, the deal is nearing completion as Spurs look to stabilise their season.

Managerial Shake-Up Continues

Tottenham recently parted ways with interim coach Igor Tudor, who spent just over a month in charge, overseeing seven matches.

The club’s struggles have intensified, with the team sitting just one point above the relegation zone and yet to secure a league win in 2026.

De Zerbi’s Track Record

De Zerbi built a strong reputation during his time at Brighton & Hove Albion between 2022 and 2024, earning praise for his attacking style and tactical approach.

The 46-year-old is currently without a club after leaving Olympique de Marseille earlier this year by mutual agreement.

Club Facing Historic Threat

Tottenham are now battling to avoid relegation, something they have not experienced since the 1977/78 season.

Despite having one of the most modern stadiums and strong financial backing, the club finds itself in a precarious position with only seven matches remaining.

From European Glory to Survival Battle

The club’s recent history paints a sharp contrast. Under Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2019.

They also ended a 17-year wait for silverware by winning the Europa League last season under Ange Postecoglou.

However, Postecoglou was dismissed after a poor league finish, and his successor, Thomas Frank, was later sacked following a disappointing run of results.

Race Against Time

With the season nearing its conclusion, Tottenham are hoping a managerial change can spark a turnaround and help them avoid dropping into the Championship.
