Roberto De Zerbi appointed as new Tottenham Hotspur coach

Tottenham Hotspur has officially announced the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach on a multi-year contract reportedly lasting until 2031. The 46-year-old Italian manager succeeds Igor Tudor, who was dismissed on March 29, 2026, after a brief and unsuccessful 44-day tenure. During his seven games in charge, Tudor recorded one draw and six losses, leaving the club in 17th place, just one point above the Premier League relegation zone. De Zerbi, who previously managed Brighton and Marseille, takes over the team with the primary objective of ensuring their survival in the top flight. The club reportedly pursued him aggressively, offering a significant salary to secure his services immediately rather than waiting for the summer. De Zerbi is expected to bring his own staff, with rumors circulating about the potential inclusion of Alessandro Nesta.
