Fans group opposes De Zerbi appointment at Spurs

Football

A Tottenham Hotspur women's supporters group has voiced opposition to the potential hiring of former Marseille manager Roberto de Zerbi.

Spurs Reach Out, a fans group for women, has stated that Tottenham Hotspur should not appoint Roberto de Zerbi as their next manager. The group cites the Italian's previous support for Mason Greenwood during their time at Marseille as the primary reason for its stance. De Zerbi previously defended the forward, stating he would protect him like a son.

Greenwood joined Marseille from Manchester United in July 2024 following a loan spell at Getafe. The supporters group expressed concerns regarding the values of the club and the message such an appointment would send to female fans, according to The Guardian.

Tottenham are currently seeking a permanent successor to lead the first team. De Zerbi left Marseille by mutual consent earlier this month, per Sky Sports reports. The north London club has not yet commented on the group's statement or confirmed its short-list for the vacant managerial position. Fans continue to monitor the recruitment process closely as the Premier League season nears its conclusion.
