De Zerbi: Passion Can Revive Tottenham's Identity, Not Coaching Superiority

New Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi believes his passion can help restore the club's DNA and avoid relegation, despite acknowledging he is not a better coach than his predecessors Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor. With seven games left to steer the team clear of the bottom three, De Zerbi's first game is away at Sunderland on Sunday. He expressed admiration for Frank and Tudor, considering them very good coaches, but emphasized that his character, personality, and passion can make a difference. De Zerbi aims to bring organization and the right spirit to the team, focusing on achieving the target of avoiding relegation rather than building from scratch. He chose to bring only two former coaches with him, citing the need for a clear plan and not wanting to confuse 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 team's problems. He hopes to reach his targets within 10 days and emphasized the need for his players to deserve the fans' support with their performances on the pitch.
