Tottenham hold talks over potential De Zerbi appointment

Tottenham Hotspur are accelerating contingency plans as scrutiny intensifies on interim manager Igor Tudor. With the club sliding dangerously close to the Premier League relegation zone, senior figures have reopened discussions about their long‑term direction. Reports indicate renewed contact with Roberto De Zerbi, who remains available after departing Marseille, while former Monaco coach Adi Hütter has also emerged as a serious option.

Sunday’s defeat to Nottingham Forest left Spurs just one point above the drop, deepening concerns over Tudor’s tenure. The Croatian has managed only one win in seven matches, prompting internal debate over whether the international break offers the ideal moment for a change. With three weeks until their next match against Sunderland, the window is viewed as pivotal.

De Zerbi features prominently on Tottenham’s shortlist alongside Mauricio Pochettino and Andoni Iraola, and a relegation‑related release clause could be included in any deal. Hütter is considered a strong contender should Spurs act swiftly.
