Tottenham Hotspur are in a precarious situation. They are just a point adrift of the relegation zone. The last time the Spurs were relegated was in the 1976-77 season.

This time, if they do drop to the Championship, it will have catastrophic financial implications for the club. That is why they just cannot afford that.

Last season, they also finished 17th in the Premier League, one place above the relegation zone. However, they thought their fortunes would turn this season.

That is why they had to make a tough decision to sack Ange Postecoglou even after the former Celtic boss won the Europa League with the Spurs.

They appointed Thomas Frank and after a positive start, things started to south and the Spurs’ ship were sinking. That is why they had to sack the Danish manager and appoint Igor Tudor.

However, the Croatian’s stint as the manager will go down as one of the worst ever in the history of the Premier League.

Now, the Spurs have scrapped their plan of appointing an interim, as they are focusing on appointing a permanent manager.

As Mauricio Pochettino is busy with the USA national team, as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup, it seems Tottenham Hotspur are looking elsewhere.

According to Sky Italy, Tottenham are now pushing to sign Roberto De Zerbi as their next permanent manager.

The Spurs are reportedly offering the Italian a five-year deal. Initially, De Zerbi was unwilling to take up the job. However, recent reports suggest that the tables have turned.

Now, Tottenham Hotspur are negotiating with De Zerbi as they are prepared to give him a hefty salary to secure his services at the club.
