Roberto de Zerbi was in charge of Brighton for two seasons in the Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur want to convince Roberto de Zerbi to become their new permanent head coach, according to sources.
Igor Tudor has left the club by mutual consent after just 44 days in charge, with chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange tasked with appointing his replacement.
It is understood Tottenham had resolved to part ways with interim boss Tudor following last Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest, a result that left them just one point clear of the relegation zone, but wanted to give the Croat a period of time to mourn the death of his father last weekend.
De Zerbi, who is available following his exit from Marseille earlier this season, is a primary target and Spurs, prior to the official announcement of Tudor's departure, tried to ascertain whether the Italian is open to the job.
