Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their search for a new manager after sacking Igor Tudor just 44 days into his interim role. The decision comes with the club struggling in 16th place, dangerously close to the relegation zone.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs are now pushing to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their top target. The North London club have already opened talks and are trying to convince the Italian coach to take charge immediately.
De Zerbi has been on Tottenham’s radar since the summer. He was always seen as a long-term solution. However, the current situation has forced the club to accelerate their plans. With results not improving under Tudor, the board has decided to act quickly to avoid further slide down the table.
Sources indicate that contacts are ongoing, but the deal depends fully on De Zerbi’s decision. The Italian has received multiple approaches from clubs across Europe in recent months. Taking the Spurs job now would be a major commitment, especially given the club’s current position.
