Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has stated that his future at the club depends on his relationship with the board, rather than the team's potential relegation. Despite suffering a 1-0 loss to Sunderland in his first game, De Zerbi remains confident that the team can avoid relegation and finish in the top six next season. He emphasized the importance of everyone being on the same page and having the same ideas in the project.
De Zerbi's comments suggest that he is committed to the club, but needs to feel supported by the board in order to stay. The team's upcoming games, including a match against Brighton, will be crucial in determining their fate.
De Zerbi has also spoken about the need for players to step up and show leadership, particularly in the absence of captain Romero. He believes that several players in the squad have the potential to become leaders, including Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Dominic Solanke.
