LONDON: Tottenham appointed Roberto De Zerbi as the club’s third manager of the season on Tuesday as they battle to avoid relegation from English football’s top-flight for the first time in nearly 50 years. Former Brighton and Marseille boss De Zerbi has reportedly been handed a lucrative five-year deal to convince him to take the job immediately rather than waiting to see which division Spurs are in next season. Tottenham sit just one point outside the relegation zone with seven games of the Premier League season remaining.

Tottenham Hotspur want to convince Roberto de Zerbi to become their new permanent head coach, after the departure of interim boss Igor Tudor.
