Tottenham have no plans to sack Roberto De Zerbi despite their winless start in the Premier League this season.
Tottenham Hotspur have retained faith in Roberto De Zerbi despite being without a win after six Premier League games, with the club’s hierarchy standing firm after their latest draw against Manchester United.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, internal sources have confirmed that Spurs remain convinced the Italian is the right man to lead their project, and the club’s decision-makers believe results will improve as De Zerbi continues to implement his ideas.
The hierarchy have no intention of making a knee-jerk decision, and their faith in De Zerbi remains strong despite the early struggles. The report further indicates that the club are relaxed about the Italian tactician’s commitment to the job, with no concerns over him walking away.
De Zerbi arrived in North London late in March last season, taking charge when Tottenham were fighting to preserve their Premier League status. Despite limited time to work with the squad and introduce his tactical approach, he ultimately helped the club remain in the top flight.
His role in preserving their Premier League status continues to weigh heavily in their assessment, and the hierarchy believe this achievement should not be overlooked because of a challenging start to the current campaign.
Spurs to give De Zerbi time to work with new signings
Tottenham’s summer transfer business is another important factor behind their decision to retain De Zerbi. The club committed significant funds to strengthening the squad, aiming to address weaknesses and give the manager the tools to build a more competitive side.
The investment signals clear confidence in De Zerbi’s vision for the club. Consequently, the hierarchy are keen to see that work translate into improved performances rather than abandon the project after six winless games (1 win in 8 outings across competitions).
There is an understanding within Tottenham that the current situation falls short of expectations. However, the club believe the early difficulties should be viewed in the context of a wider rebuilding process, particularly as new arrivals adapt to their surroundings and De Zerbi works to establish greater consistency.
A managerial change at this stage would disrupt the progress made during the summer and force the club to begin another transition. For now, Spurs prefer to maintain stability and allow their current boss to demonstrate the benefits of that investment.
