Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur rescue mission begins
The 2025-26 Premier League season has been a tumultuous one for Tottenham Hotspur, and that’s putting it lightly. The Thomas Frank appointment did not go to plan, and the less said about the Igor Tudor disaster the better. But, Spurs are where they are and they are fighting for their lives in a relegation scrap that no one really could have foreseen. Now, Roberto De Zerbi is the man tasked with saving Tottenham’s top-flight status in the closing months of the campaign. Having previously managed Brighton, he is well-versed in the Premier League. He is also regarded as one of the brightest coaches in world football. Having signed a five-year deal, both parties clearly feel this is the right fit. Being blunt, it needs to be.
What is Roberto De Zerbi’s managerial record pre-Tottenham?
Tottenham supporters will, of course, only care what De Zerbi can do at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and whether he can their Premier League status. Prior to Spurs, his most successful win percentage was with Shakhtar Donetsk (66.67 per cent), while with Brighton he had a 42.70 per cent win rate.
