De Zerbi: Unity with Tottenham Board, Not Relegation, Will Determine My Future

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has stated that his relationship with the club's board, rather than the threat of relegation, will be the decisive factor in determining whether he stays at the club next season. Following a 1-0 defeat in his first game in charge, De Zerbi's side sits in the bottom three, two points from safety with six games remaining. Despite this, De Zerbi has reassured fans that relegation will not influence his decision to stay, emphasizing the importance of a unified vision with the board. He expressed his ambition to restore Tottenham to the Premier League's top six and believes the team has the potential to achieve this, but it is contingent on avoiding relegation. De Zerbi has also stressed the need for a strong team spirit and player responsibility, highlighting the importance of leaders on and off the pitch. With several key players injured, including captain Romero, De Zerbi is looking for other players to step up and demonstrate leadership qualities.
