Roberto De Zerbi is expected to take charge of Tottenham Hotspur for the remainder of the Premier League season. According to Sky Sports, the Italian coach will replace the outgoing management team to oversee the club's final seven fixtures. The appointment marks the third managerial change for the North London side during the current campaign.
Tottenham currently sit in the top half of the table as they attempt to secure European qualification. De Zerbi previously managed Brighton and Hove Albion before departing the Sussex club in 2024. The Athletic reports that his primary objective involves stabilizing results during the two-month period remaining in the schedule.
Spurs have not confirmed the specific length of the contract beyond the current season. The squad returns to action following the international break to begin the final sequence of games. Club officials hope the 46-year-old's arrival will improve recent defensive performances, per official Premier League data. De Zerbi's first match in the dugout is scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
