Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has emphasized that his decision to stay with the club next season will be determined by his relationship with the board, rather than the threat of relegation. Following a 1-0 loss to Sunderland in his first game, De Zerbi's team is currently in the bottom three, two points from safety with six games remaining.
Despite this, De Zerbi has reassured fans that relegation will not dictate his future, stating that having the same vision as the board is crucial. He expressed his ambition to return Tottenham to the top six in the Premier League if they can avoid relegation. De Zerbi has also focused on building a strong team dynamic, taking the squad out for dinner to foster unity and admitting that he needs to get to know his players better. With captain Romero out for the season, De Zerbi is looking for players to step up and demonstrate leadership, citing the importance of having multiple leaders on the team.
The upcoming summer transfer window will be a key test of the club's commitment to De Zerbi's vision.
