Roberto de Zerbi unlikely to take Tottenham role before season’s end
Roberto de Zerbi unlikely to take Tottenham role before season’s end Roberto De Zerbi is not expected to make a return to management before the end of the season, casting doubt on any immediate move to Tottenham Hotspur as they weigh their options amid a difficult campaign, according to reports from Sky Sports . The 46-year-old, who left Marseille last month, is understood to be prioritising a break from the game, with plans to assess potential opportunities in the summer rather than rush into a new role. Tottenham are among several clubs to have expressed interest in the former Brighton head coach, but his current stance is not viewed as a rejection of Spurs specifically.
Instead, it reflects a broader desire to carefully consider his next step. Spurs’ managerial situation remains uncertain, with interim boss Igor Tudor overseeing a side struggling for consistency. A recent defeat to fellow strugglers has left the club hovering just above the relegation zone, intensifying pressure on the hierarchy to act.
While De Zerbi remains a candidate for the long term, any appointment now appears unlikely before the summer. For Tottenham, that means navigating a precarious run-in without clarity over who will lead them beyond this turbulent season. GFN | Finn Entwistle
