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 potential relegation. Following a 1-0 loss to Sunderland in his first game, Spurs are currently in the bottom three of the Premier League, two points from safety with six games remaining.
De Zerbi expressed his commitment to the club, emphasizing the importance of having a unified vision with the board. When asked if he would remain at Spurs regardless of the team's fate, De Zerbi replied, 'The problem is not the league, it's about maintaining a strong relationship with the board and sharing the same project ideas.' He further clarified that having everyone on the same page is crucial for him. De Zerbi's ambition and conviction in Spurs' potential to return to the top six next season are evident, but the team's current situation makes this a challenging goal. With six games left to play, De Zerbi's focus is on building a strong relationship with his players and creating a positive team atmosphere.
He believes that a good relationship between players is just as important as their individual skills. The summer transfer window will be a key test of the board's support for De Zerbi, with a significant rebuild required regardless of the team's final position. De Zerbi is confident in Spurs' potential but acknowledges the need for a unified effort to achieve their goals.
The team's upcoming game against Brighton will be a crucial test of their abilities, and a win could potentially take them out of the relegation zone.
