Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has stated that his decision to stay at the club next season will be based on his relationship with the board, rather than the team's league position. Despite the threat of relegation, De Zerbi emphasized the importance of having a unified vision with the club's hierarchy.
Following a 1-0 loss to Sunderland in his first game in charge, Spurs find themselves in the bottom three, two points from safety with six games remaining. De Zerbi has reassured fans that relegation will not dictate his future, instead focusing on the need for a cohesive approach between himself and the board.
The Italian manager expressed his ambition to restore Spurs to the Premier League's top six, but acknowledged the significant challenge ahead. With a major rebuild required in the summer transfer window, De Zerbi's relationship with the board will be crucial in determining the club's trajectory. He has called for unity and leadership within the squad, particularly in the absence of captain Romero, who is out for the season.
De Zerbi believes that several players can step up and become leaders, citing the importance of personality and character on the pitch. As Spurs prepare to face Brighton, De Zerbi's first home game in charge, the pressure to deliver a victory and escape the relegation zone is mounting.
