Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has stated that his decision to stay at the club next season will be determined by his relationship with the board, rather than the team's potential relegation. Despite suffering a defeat in his first game, De Zerbi remains confident in his ability to lead the team to success.
With six games remaining, Spurs are currently in the bottom three, two points from safety, and are the only Premier League side yet to win in 2026. De Zerbi emphasized the importance of having a unified vision with the board, saying "The problem is not the league. The problem is to keep the relationship with the board and to have the same ideas in the project." He also stressed the need for his players to take responsibility and show leadership, particularly in the absence of captain Romero, who is out for the season. De Zerbi believes that several players in his squad have the potential to step up and become leaders, including Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Palhinha.
The manager's first home game in charge is against his former club Brighton on Saturday, and a victory could temporarily lift Spurs out of the relegation zone.
