Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has stated that his decision to stay with the club next season will be based on his relationship with the board, rather than the team's relegation status. Despite a 1-0 loss to Sunderland in his first game, De Zerbi is confident that the team can avoid relegation and compete among the Premier League's top six next season.
He emphasized the importance of having a unified vision with the board and the players, saying that everyone must be on the same page for the team to succeed. De Zerbi also expressed his ambition to rebuild the team during the summer transfer window, regardless of the team's final position this season.
With six games remaining, De Zerbi's first home game against Brighton will be crucial in determining the team's fate. The Italian manager has called on his players to take responsibility and show leadership, particularly with captain Romero out for the season. De Zerbi believes that several players, including Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Palhinha, can step up and become leaders in different ways.
The next six games will be a test of the team's character and personality, and De Zerbi is confident that they can overcome their current challenges and achieve their goals.
