Tottenham new manager: Di Marzio drops huge De Zerbi update amid ‘revolution’
Tottenham are considering Roberto De Zerbi as an option to replace Ange Postecoglou ahead of next season.
Postecoglou deserves due credit for leading Spurs to the UEFA Europa League final despite facing a nightmare of a season otherwise.
However, that might not be enough for the Greek-Australian tactician to keep his job in North London, as Daniel Levy is already on the lookout for ideal replacements for him.
While several managers have been linked with a move to Tottenham, De Zerbi has now emerged as a genuine candidate to replace Postecoglou.
Tottenham have De Zerbi dream
Tottenham have ‘long dreamed’ of hiring De Zerbi as their manager, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
However, the Italian journalist reported via his personal website on Thursday (8 May) that the 45-year-old wishes to stay at Marseille.
Marseille are on course to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, as they sit second in Ligue 1 with two games left, and De Zerbi is keen to test himself in Europe’s premier competition.
Spurs, though, have not given up hope on hiring the Italian tactician, with a ‘relaunch’ still on the cards.

| 34 | 19 | 5 | 10 | 75:49 | 62 | 1.82 |
Meanwhile, Andoni Iraola is now set to stay at Bournemouth, despite previously being prepared to take the reins at Tottenham.
This leaves Marco Silva as the Spurs’ hierarchy’s first-choice candidate ahead of the summer.
The Fulham manager is extremely popular among Daniel Levy and Co., as the North London giants plot a ‘revolution’ ahead of next season.
Al-Hilal are also interested in hiring Silva, but the Portuguese manager does not want to leave England yet.
Spurs to replace Postecoglou
The writing appears to be on the wall for Postecoglou despite leading Tottenham to the Europa League final.
He has the chance to become the first manager to win a trophy with Spurs since 2008, but it seems that may not be enough to keep his job.
While losing 19 of your 35 league games is not acceptable, it might be too harsh to sack Postecoglou, especially if Levy is eyeing Silva as a replacement.
