The new head coach of Spurs shared his feelings from his debut match against Sunderland and called on the team to turn the trust of disappointed patients.
Italian footballer Roberto De Zerbi is preparing for his first match as the head coach of London Tottenham. The team, which is going through a deep crisis and is only one point above the Villoto zone (seven rounds before the end of the championship), is playing away against Sunderland this week.
De Dzerbi, assigned to the posad 31 years ago, becoming the third Kermanic of Spurs in the current season after Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor (the remaining one was in the posad for more than 44 days and these matches). In the face of such personnel turbulence, Italy is promoting optimism and almost equal to its predecessors.
" May I agree with Vinay Venkatesham and Johan Lange, and even the stench showed me great confidence. I think that I’m not stealing from Frank and Tudor, because I respect them as very good coaches. I am trying to highlight my style, character, uniqueness and strengths in order to achieve our goal, which is most important,” De Dzerbi said at a press conference on Friday.
The coach also noted that he knows the potential of his team: “I am proud of the rivals of the Gravians, because in the past I will be very close to asking a lot of them for my large teams,” adding.
The situation described by De Dzerbi is critical. Tottenham did not win a single match in the domestic championship in 2026 and gained two more victories starting from the 26th of 2025. In addition, the team recently flew out of the Champions League, losing to Atletico de Madrid from the outskirts 5:7. Varto notes that since 1950, Spurs have played in the top division only once - in the 1977/78 season.
. I am befitting the cruelty of the Gravians. It was very important for the mother to come back to the first meeting to sort out our problems,” said the mentor, who had previously successfully worked with Brighton.
De Dzerbi’s main message before the debut was a call to the team and patients:.
“My message to the staff and residents is that we may deserve encouragement.
Patients suffer the same way as we do. The leaders may change, but for fans their club will lose its uniqueness. We have to make them happy because of the right attitude and correct behavior on the field. It will be easier to earn points,” Roberto summed up.
The debut match for Roberto De Zerbi will take place this week, as Tottenham compete at the Stadium of Light with a visit to Sunderland, who now sit in 11th place in the standings. The corn cob is scheduled for 2:00 p.m..
