Tottenham Hotspur are in ongoing discussions with Roberto De Zerbi and his representatives over a potential move to become the club’s permanent head coach. De Zerbi is Tottenham’s primary target for the role, with talks focused on the project and long-term plans.

The club reportedly approached De Zerbi to take over immediately, but he has declined that option, indicating he would only be open to starting from next season. He is assessing all his opportunities carefully, with multiple job prospects expected to emerge in the coming weeks.

Tottenham remain highly interested in securing De Zerbi’s services, but only if the club avoids relegation this season. Should the team be relegated, there is no possibility of him joining.

The situation is ongoing and remains one to watch closely, with former managers Mauricio Pochettino and Marco Silva reported as potential backup options.
