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. De Zerbi, who signed a five-year contract with the club, emphasized the importance of having a united front and shared vision with the board in order to achieve success.
The Italian manager's comments come after his first game in charge, a 1-0 loss to Sunderland, which has left Tottenham in the bottom three of the Premier League table. Despite the team's struggles, De Zerbi remains confident that they can avoid relegation and compete at a high level next season. He believes that the key to success lies in creating a positive team dynamic and having players who are committed to the club's vision. De Zerbi also expressed his desire to work with players who have strong personalities and characters, citing the importance of leadership on and off the pitch.
With several key players injured, including captain Romero, De Zerbi is looking for other players to step up and take on leadership roles. The manager's first home game in charge is against his former club Brighton, and a win could help to boost the team's morale and push them out of the relegation zone.
