Roberto de Zerbi is set to take over a Tottenham team just one point above the relegation zone
Tottenham are closing in on the appointment of Roberto de Zerbi as head coach.
Should the former Brighton boss agree a deal - as is expected - he would have seven games to save the club from relegation to the Championship.
That means in two months' time, Spurs' third boss of the season would have either secured his place as a hero at the club, or forever connected his name to one of the worst seasons in their history.
Tottenham are 17th in the Premier League, just one point outside of the relegation zone and without a win in the competition in 2026. Should they fail to beat the drop, it would go down as one of the league's most remarkable relegations.
