De Zerbi: Passion is Key to Restoring Tottenham's Identity

New Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi has stated that he does not consider himself a better coach than his predecessors, Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor, but believes his passion can help restore the club's DNA and guide them clear of relegation. De Zerbi, who is the third head coach to take charge of the team this season, has seven games to achieve this goal, starting with an away match against Sunderland on Sunday. He expressed admiration for Frank and Tudor, acknowledging them as skilled coaches, but emphasized that he will bring his unique style, character, and passion to the role to help the players showcase their quality. De Zerbi's primary focus is on achieving the target of avoiding relegation, and he aims to do so by instilling the right spirit, courage, and attitude in his players, which he believes is essential to the club's DNA. He also highlighted the importance of giving the players a clear plan and allowing them to play with courage and personality, rather than overwhelming them with instructions. When asked about his decision to join Tottenham despite their challenging situation, De Zerbi cited the importance of having sufficient time to understand the team's problems and implement his plans. He expressed his desire to make the fans happy by playing well and demonstrating the right spirit, attitude, and behavior on the pitch, which he believes will make it easier to earn points.
