Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has stated that his future at the club will be determined by his relationship with the board, rather than the team's league position. Following a 1-0 defeat in his first match, De Zerbi's side sits in the relegation zone. However, the Italian coach has reassured fans that he will remain at the club next season regardless of whether they are relegated.

De Zerbi emphasized the importance of everyone at the club being on the same page and sharing the same vision. He also expressed his ambition to lead the team back into the Premier League's top six if they can avoid relegation. With six games remaining, De Zerbi's focus is on the present, and he has taken steps to unite the squad, including taking them out for dinner.

He has also identified several players who can step up and become leaders, including Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Palhinha. De Zerbi's first home game in charge is against his former club Brighton on Saturday, and a win could take Tottenham out of the relegation zone.
