De Zerbi: Passion is Key to Restoring Spurs' DNA, Not Being a Better Coach

New Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi believes his passion and character can help restore the club's DNA and guide them clear of relegation. De Zerbi, who replaced Igor Tudor, acknowledged he is not a better coach than his predecessors, including Thomas Frank, but aims to bring his unique style and personality to the role. With seven games remaining, De Zerbi's primary focus is on achieving the target of avoiding relegation, rather than building a long-term project. He emphasized the importance of organization, courage, and the right spirit, which he believes are essential to the club's DNA. De Zerbi chose to bring only two former coaches with him to the club, citing the need for a clear plan and avoiding confusion among the players. When asked about his decision to join Spurs despite their difficult situation, De Zerbi highlighted the importance of having more than a week to understand the problems and prepare for the first game. He called on his players and staff to deserve the support of the fans with their performances on the pitch, rather than relying on messages or words.
