Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Marseille manager, Roberto De Zerbi after sacking Ruben Amorim.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in 46-year-old Italian manager Roberto De Zerbi, but he would prefer to join Manchester United instead.
The Red Devils have recently sacked Ruben Amorim and they have been linked with multiple managers. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Italian tactician.
The 46-year-old has shown his quality in Ligue 1 with Marseille, and he has previously impressed with Brighton & Hove Albion as well. There is no doubt that De Zerbi is good enough to manage in the Premier League, and he could be an excellent appointment for Manchester United. His style of football could be a good fit for their current squad as well.
On the other hand, Tottenham are interested in Roberto De Zerbi as well, and they have pursued him for a long time. Spurs have started the season poorly, and Thomas Frank is under a lot of pressure. If the Danish manager is shown the door, they will need a quality replacement.
The 46-year-old Italian tactician would be the ideal option for them. It remains to be seen which of the two Premier League clubs decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks.
Premier League return on the horizon?
There is no doubt that Roberto De Zerbi will be tempted to move to the Premier League if the right offer is presented. Tottenham and Manchester United have quality players at their disposal, and they have the resources to build a formidable team. The Italian manager could be attracted to the idea of joining them. He will look to build a quality team and fight for trophies with them.
A move to the Premier League is a huge step up from France, and Marseille might be powerless to stop him from leaving if there is a concrete proposal on the table. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Tottenham will be hoping to secure UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season, and they should look to decide on Thomas Frank’s future quickly. If he cannot turn it around in the coming weeks, Tottenham should look to act and bring in a quality manager.
Similarly, Manchester United are looking to salvage their season as well. Appointing a quality manager could make a big difference for them. However, the Red Devils will likely sign a full-time replacement for Amorim after the 2025/26 season ends.
