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, two points from safety with six games remaining. De Zerbi emphasized that having everyone on the same page is crucial for him, and that the team's league position is not the primary concern.
The Italian coach expressed his ambition and conviction that Spurs can return to the Premier League's top six if they avoid relegation. However, with a huge rebuild required in the summer transfer window, De Zerbi's future may depend on the level of support he receives from the board.
The coach has also been working to unite the squad, taking them out for dinner and focusing on building relationships with the players. With captain Romero out for the season, De Zerbi believes that several players can step up and become leaders in different ways, including Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Palhinha. The upcoming game against Brighton will be a crucial test for Spurs, and De Zerbi's ability to inspire his team and secure a much-needed victory.
