De Zerbi: Passion is Key to Restoring Spurs' DNA, Not Coaching Superiority

New Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi believes his passion and character can help restore the club's DNA and steer them clear of relegation, despite not considering himself a better coach than predecessors Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor. With seven games left to save the season, De Zerbi aims to instill the right spirit and courage in his players to achieve their target. He emphasized the importance of organization, both with and without the ball, and intends to keep things simple for his players, focusing on their quality and personality rather than complicated principles or build-up play. De Zerbi chose to bring only two former coaches with him to the club to avoid confusing the players, opting for a clear plan and minimal instructions. When asked about his decision to join Spurs despite their difficult situation, De Zerbi pointed to the time available before the first game, which he believed was sufficient to understand the problems and implement his vision. He called on his players and staff to deserve the fans' support through their performances, emphasizing that the fans' loyalty is unwavering and that it is up to the team to make them happy with good football and the right attitude.
