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 Spurs currently sitting in the bottom three, De Zerbi is confident that the team can avoid relegation and become a top-six side in the Premier League. He emphasized the importance of having a unified vision and working together with the board to achieve success. De Zerbi's comments come after a 1-0 loss to Sunderland in his first game in charge, leaving Spurs two points from safety with six games remaining.
The Italian manager is focused on building a strong team dynamic and has taken steps to unite the squad, including taking them out for dinner. He believes that players with strong personalities and character are essential for success and has identified several players, including Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Palhinha, as potential leaders.
With captain Romero out for the season, De Zerbi is looking for other players to step up and take on leadership roles. The manager's vision and leadership will be put to the test in the coming weeks as Spurs face a crucial run of games, starting with a home match against Brighton on Saturday.
